Integrative Health Approach

The Integrative Health Approach, includes a full assessment of symptoms and past medical history using a variety of tools.

You will receive an individualised plan along with educational and ongoing support to optimise health and healing.

Integrative health empowers individuals to live in ways that foster health, promote well-being and prevent DIS-ease. It advocates for person centred health care that uses evidence based practice and uses appropriate preventative and therapeutic approaches.

Our bodies are an accurate navigational system that constantly informs us of our imbalances: emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, as well as our personal relationships and work life.

They are all interconnected, so paying attention to imbalances early on, can guide us into making wise choices, that ultimately lead us to a greater sense of inner peace and health.

“If you don’t take care of wellness, you will be forced to take care of illness”

“Let food be my medicine and medicine be thy food”  Hippocrates

The role that nutrition plays not only in the restoration of health but also the maintenance of health cannot be overstated.

Going back as far as the times of Hippocrates, it was the steadfast belief that food should be the primary medicine.

In the last century we have seen a dramatic drop in infectious disease and lower rates of nutrient deficiencies in the Western world, but this came with a trade-off. As the incidence and mortality caused by infectious disease significantly decreased, the rates of chronic lifestyle-related diseases have risen.

The philosophy of Integrative Health is that one’s health is an expression of the complex interplay between the physical and chemical, mental and emotional, as well as spiritual and environmental aspects of one’s life and being.

As such, professionals who are trained in Integrative Health and healing do so from a whole-person perspective, considering the balance of the holy trinity “mind, body and soul”. This requires fully engaging the individual in their health recovery process and honoring their innate wisdom by working in an empowering and cooperative manner to chart a course to optimal health.
