Integral Medicine

Integral Medicine is an approach to patient care that relies on multidisciplinary collaborations in order to define the best treatment for each patient, e.g. between: traditional and complementary medicine doctor and patient body and mind.

Optimal treatments through Integral Medicine address the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

By understanding each person as unique, specific needs are addressed for both physical and inner healing. For example, treatment plans that incorporate surgery and medication may also include self-hypnosis training to encourage the mind and body to work together more efficiently during healing. Post treatment follow-ups with primary physicians may also recommend support or meditation groups, nutritional education, or fitness practices in order to engage the strengths of the whole person.

The results of an integral approach to patient care include:

Strengthening of a patient’s inner resources
Increased calm
Reduced stress
Enhanced personal responsibility for well-being
