Our mission is to help transform medicine and health care by bringing together the basic principles of integrative medicine for the purpose of designing a unique relationship with our patients to help in their healing process.
The Basic Principles of Integrative Medicine:
- To understand the importance of creating a partnership between patient and practitioner.
- To believe in the intrinsic nature of healing and make use of treatments that activate, unblock and support this process.
- To address all factors that influence a person's health, wellness and disease, including the mind, emotions, spirit and community, as well as the physical body.
- To recognize that good medicine should be based on good science, be inquiry driven and open to new ways of thinking.
- To emphasize the use of natural, less invasive interventions whenever possible, utilizing the broader concepts of health promotion and prevention of illness.
- To teach practitioners to be models of health and healing who are committed to the process of self-exploration and development.
- To promote healing by integrating all available treatment options, both in traditional medicine and alternative medicine.

Our philosophy centers on the belief that our mental, physical and spiritual selves are fundamentally connected. We view optimal health as more than the absence of illness. It is the conscious pursuit of spiritual, emotional, physical, environmental and social well being. Our goal is to activate your innate healing capacity and support you as you take personal responsibility - and pleasure - in activities to enhance your health and well being.
Our approach emphasizes the healing relationship between the individual and the provider of care, and we approach treatment planning as a partnership with you -- and with your personal physician. The Center does not diagnose illness or disease. Our role is to provide empowering education, expert guidance from experienced health professionals and appropriate support to achieve and maintain optimal health and well being. In all we do, we honor and encourage faithfulness to your own inner wisdom.
Our evaluation and treatment planning looks at you as a whole person and incorporates an appraisal of all available therapies. Treatment focuses on therapies that stimulate the body's inherent ability to heal and emphasizes ways you can care for yourself. Your plan for health may involve exploring a variety of life-enhancing activities to discover what works best for you at this time in your life.
