What is a Holistic Practitioner?
A Holistic practitioner: 1) views the patient as being ultimately responsible for his/her well being; 2) fosters and maintains a partnership with the patient, using therapies which both feel comfortable; 3) evaluates and recommends treatment options that address the cause of an illness, as well as the symptoms. The Holistic practitioner may choose or recommend from a variety of both conventional and “alternative” treatments and therapies. Together, the practitioner and patient/client work to develop an optimal course of treatment. This partnership is a powerful approach to healing and is the cornerstone of the Holistic philosophy.
