What is Holistic
Medicine?
Holistic Medicine:
Strives to meet each patient with grace, kindness, acceptance,
and spirit without condition and view people as the unity of body, mind,
spirit and the systems in which they live.
Seeks to
help people find the highest level of functioning and balance of human
experience, resulting in a dynamic state of being fully alive, creating
well-being regardless of the presence or absence of disease.
Helps to relieve symptoms, modify contributing factors, and enhance the
patient’s life system in order to optimize future well-being.
Seeks to
help each person evoke their own innate powers of healing of body, mind and
spirit.
Utilizes safe and effective options in diagnosis and treatment of various
diseases, which come from a variety of traditions, and are selected in order
to best meet the unique needs of the patient. The realm of choices may
include lifestyle modification and complementary approaches as well as
conventional drugs and surgery.
Promotes partnership which encourages patient autonomy, and values the needs
and insights of both physician and patient. The quality of this relationship
is an essential contributor to the healing process.
Focuses patient care on the unique needs and nature of the person who has an
illness rather than the illness that has the person.
Works toward the personal incorporation of the principles of holistic
health- by the practitioners, which then profoundly influence the quality of
the healing relationship.
All
life experiences including birth, joy, suffering and the dying process are
profound learning opportunities for both patients and health care
practitioners.

Energy Medicine works with the physical body as
well as the energy field surrounding the body (aura). Frequently, our energy
gets stuck or blocked in certain parts of the bodies or aura- resulting in
discomfort, disease or discontent. Using various energy modalities, the
energy is freed resulting in improved physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual well-being (1 ½
