Candice Opocensky: A Holistic Path to Healing and Vibrant Health
Meet Candice Opocensky, a Certified Health Coach based in Hong Kong and the founder of Luna Holistic Health. After a decade-long battle with a chronic autoimmune condition, Candice is now a beacon of vitality, guiding others to reclaim their health and wellness. Her journey serves as both a testament to the power of holistic healing and a reminder that our bodies often know the way back to balance if we listen closely enough.
When I connected with Candice over Zoom, I was struck by her energy and her glowing complexion. Yet, just a few years ago, Candice was suffering in ways that many can relate to. For over 14 years, she struggled with a mysterious rash that led to the painful condition known as urticaria, or hives. The inflammation was unbearable, covering her face, lips, and body. As well as dealing with her hives, Candice and her husband were also trying for another baby, something that was adding to her stress.
“There were some really dark days. I ate well and kept myself healthy. To deal with the secondary infertility was one thing, but to have to deal with the hives on top of it felt very unfair.” Candice says. “I tried everything, Eastern Medicine, Western Medicine, but nothing was working. Looking back now, I can see that some sort of higher power was giving me little hints as to the direction that I needed to go”.
It was during this time that Candice met with one of Hong Kong’s top allergists, who first mentioned the words autoimmune condition. On the same day, she consulted a medical intuitive who also told her the same thing. From there, Candice began to explore the root causes of disease—uncovering the significant role toxicity played in her health. She shifted her focus to detoxing, managing stress, and reevaluating her diet.
Candice started with the basics: gluten-free, then transitioned to a Paleo diet in 2008. And while she felt better, there were setbacks. Every time Candice made progress, she would take one step forward, only to find herself slipping back. But the real turning point came when she visited a naturopath who recommended testing for mold—an unexpected but crucial step in her healing journey. Her tests revealed high levels of mold in her system, and with the support of remedies and supplements, Candice began to heal in a way that saw her make real strides towards lasting good health.
Fast forward to now: Candice is now completely free of hives and has been since 2021. She can indulge in the occasional glass of wine, enjoy dairy, and even gluten—things that once felt like distant dreams. Now 51, both she and her husband put the idea of having another baby to bed a couple of years ago. Through her own journey, she’s come to believe in the power of a holistic approach to health. “The perfect example is that even when I was eating healthy, I was still covered in hives. Health is so much more than what you eat. I was in such a fight or flight response that of course you are going to have this inflammatory response in your body,” she says. Which is why things like regular exercise, yoga, and mediation are also so important.
Candice’s personal transformation inspired her to help others embark on their own wellness journeys. During the pandemic, she found clarity in her calling: to guide others towards healing. With a holistic approach rooted in real-life experience, Candice offers clients a roadmap to health that goes beyond diet and exercise. She incorporates the vital aspects of emotional, spiritual, and energetic well-being into her coaching.
Each session begins with a personalized intake form, where Candice assesses not just your diet, but the other layers of your life—your family dynamics, your career, and your deeper purpose. It’s this comprehensive approach that makes her work truly transformative. She doesn’t just focus on the surface-level changes; she identifies areas of your life that need more love and guidance.
Candice’s holistic toolkit also includes pantry visits, where she helps clients swap out common “health foods” for truly nourishing options. “It’s amazing how often people think they’re eating healthy, but actually they are not. I help people bring more nutrients into their diet” she explains. Candice also recommends supplementation—a strategy that has helped her immensely.
In addition, Candice offers Reiki as a healing modality, and her clients often report deep shifts in their energy and wellness as a result.
Candice’s offerings are also available through online consultations, making her accessible to anyone ready to embark on their own journey of transformation. You can find her at LunaHolisticHealth.com or on Instagram at @LunaHolisticHealth.
