What is holistic medicine?
Wellness can be achieved only by treating you as the whole person you are, not as a collection of unrelated body parts. Holistic medicine incorporates the body mind and spirit.

Holistic medicine is an approach rather than a technique. Here at The Center, the holistic approach starts with our meandering road and signs that ask that you de-stress to 25. The approach continues as you enter the Marge Page Dome and see the lettering that says “Some of the Most Wonderful People in the World Pass Thru This Dome.” We believe that very strongly.

Holistic Medicine is the art and science of healing that addresses care of the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. The practice of Holistic medicine integrates conventional and complementary therapies to promote optimal health and to prevent and treat disease by addressing contributing factors.

The role of the practitioner is as guide, mentor and role model; the patient must do the work – changing lifestyle, beliefs and old habits in order to facilitate healing. All appropriate methods may be used from medication to meditation.
