Staying informed is central to autonomous client care. Health care practitioners in this care model encourage clients to make their own educated decisions. Asking questions can be a great first step.
WHAT DOES HOLISTIC MEAN?
When referring to health care, holistic refers to all aspects of a person. Holistic health care acknowledges that mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health are all interconnected and important.
WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE HEALTH?
Integrative health care brings "holistic" to a whole new level. Each individual is assessed holistically, and then given a team of multidisciplinary professionals to implement care.
These disciplines vary from practice to practice, and often include; allopathic/western medicine, nutrition, Ayurveda, yoga, massage, acupuncture, talk therapy, thermotherapy, physical therapy, reiki, energy medicine, meditation, breath work, reflexology, hypnotherapy, fitness and exercise consultations, laughter therapy, sound/music therapy, and guided imagery.
"Take care of your self first. When you are not well, you can not serve or fully love others. The mind of the depleted person is never satisfied. It is not selfish to care for one self. When self-care is motivated by a concern for the quality of your relationships and the quality of your service it is self-less" ~ Dr. Marc Halpern
