“It is better to know the patient that has a disease than the disease a patient has.”
-Sir William Osler
           

Holistic Medicine approaches the health of the individual by looking at all aspects of their life, physical, emotional, environmental, social and spiritual. Emphasis is placed on diagnosing, treating and preventing the cause of disease and not merely the Symptoms. An integrated approach is taken incorporating natural remedies, noninvasive therapies, counseling, and education to facilitate the body’s inherent healing abilities. Each individual patient is given a customized treatment plan that is as unique and dynamic as each person is. Complimentary therapies may be used alone or in combination with traditional medical therapies depending on the circumstances involved. The practitioner is seen as a teacher, mentor, guide and friend.

Natural Medicine is a journey and quest for wholeness founded on the recognition that illness is a wake up call for self-discovery requiring changes in our attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions. We strive for the type of health that allows us to participate fully in the rhythms of life, engaging our bodies and soul in all we do. A healthy state will be a unique expression of ourselves that is achieved through self-knowledge and understanding. Suffering and sickness have the potential to teach us the sources of imbalance in our life and to lead us to a new appreciation. Illness is seen as an initiatory experience and opportunity for a new beginning. Patients are given the responsibility to be active participants in their health care. The responsibility is what leads to true freedom.
