Center for Integrative Medicine

We live in a time of increasing diversity of food, spirituality, language, culture, and medicine. As people move from place to place they bring with them their own definition of what it means to be healthy, their beliefs of how illness happens, and their tools to facilitate healing. This direct and personal blending of skills and perspectives is further advanced by travel of information by electronic means and the written word. However, information that is a gift can also be a curse.

Integrative Medicine cares for the whole person; mind, body, spirit, and emotion. It directs healing at the root of a problem while treating symptoms. It brings together wisdom of the West with that of the East. It merges what technology and modern science have taught us with traditional healing practices. It blends the art of human relationship with the tools of diverse healing systems. It considers the impact of all aspects of life on health including; nutrition, environment, culture, economy, psychology, and the metaphysical.
