Our
objective is full, vibrant health; not just symptom control.
|
|
Care
is whole person oriented rather than disease oriented.
|
|
Wholistic
respects the valid contribution of current medical science and
practice.
|
|
Wholistic
focuses on internal healing as a useful supplement to surgery,
radiation and drug therapy
|
|
Wholistic
health is multi-level: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual.
|
|
Wholistic
Health concerns itself with prevention, with growth and change,
with healing and restoration to a state of balance.
|
|
Wholistic
health places major responsibility for health on the client, in
alliance with the practitioner, because it recognizes that the
client is an active and committed partner in the healing process,
not a passive recipient.
|
|
We
recommend natural forms of healing, whenever appropriate.
|
|
Wholistic
is pragmatic: It recognizes the value of "what works"
without having to understand completely the causal processes
involved.
|
|
Wholistic
recognizes that not all illness is "bad" and "to be
eliminated" at the earliest possible moment. Some
symptoms may represent entry into the recovery phase.
|
|
Positive
attitudes, including love, harmony, responsibility for one's own
actions, forgiveness, self-acceptance, and a sense of purpose are
promoted.
