As she integrates several Holistic Healing and Western Medicine modalities into her practice, here are some definitions to help you understand the scope of diagnostic evaluations, and Integrative practices that she uses in her treatments and therapies:

Holistic Nursing:

Registered Nurses, who have a calling to Integrate Natural and Holistic Medicine Therapies and Treatments with Western Medicine  and pharmacology, have created an Integrative Medical Path that bridges these two very diverse streams. Recognizing that those who have Western Medical skills are best suited in today’s society to assist those who are seeking Holistic, Natural forms of Healing, the Advanced Registered Nursing Practice of Holistic Nursing was born.

Today’s Holistic Nurses are emerging within Integrative Medical Clinics, Progressive Hospitals, and as Parish Nurses through out the United States. Holistic Nurses are Registered Nurses who have received additional National Certifications and are able to safely integrate  Holistic Therapies and Western Medicine with Herbal Remedies and Bio-identical Hormones, Nutritional and other Natural Therapies.

Nationally Certified Holistic Nurses are showing up throughout the fields of Acupuncture, Bio-Feedback, Acupressure, Healing Touch, Nutritional Medicine, Traditional Naturopathic Medicine, Healing Touch, Reiki, Reflexology and more. Holistic Nurses help patients understand, and safely integrate, today’s advanced, Western Medical approaches, in which pharmaceuticals and surgery have been the standard of care, with the vast array of Natural Therapies now available.

Unfortunately many of the Holistic Healing modalities are practiced today by those who have had minimal or no education in Clinical Diagnosis, Pharmacology, or Anatomy and Physiology. At the same time, the ancient Wisdom of Energy Medicine, contained with-in the fields of Traditional Natural Healing, is becoming lost to the modern world — through distancing ourselves from the age-old Apprenticeship model, in which the student studied with the Master Healer, side-by-side for 5 to 10 years — and our modern forms of education more and more are flowing in the intellectual rather than experiential fields of study.

Holistic Nurses are able to understand both Western and Holistic Health practices,  and thus Holistic Nurses are able to Integrate  Natural and Holistic Healing Protocols with each patient’s current medical diagnosis and medications ~ This allows Certified Holistic Nurses to successfully help many patients ~ who have been told that they could expect nothing more than to have their symptoms covered up by harm-full, and often debilitating side effects, of their necessary medications.

Asian Medicine:

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends Asian Medicine diagnosis and associated Meridian, Nutritional and Herbal Therapies, as effective treatments for over forty medical problems, including: Allergies, Respiratory conditions, Gastrointestinal Disorders, Gynecological problems, Nervous System conditions, Disorders of the Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat, and Childhood Illnesses, among others. Asian Medicine has been used successfully in the treatment of alcoholism, tobacco and substance abuse.

Asian Medicine is also recognized as an effective treatment for Headaches and Chronic Pain,  Lymes Disease, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Environmental Illness, Back and Arthritis/Rheumatism Pain. It is also used to supplement Western Medicine treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery. Asian Medicine is effective when used as prevention, before a health condition becomes acute, and also is effective when used to help patients suffering from deep and chronic illness return to health when other forms of medical care have failed.

Naturopathic Medicine:

Founded in the United States in the 1800’s by Benedict Lust, Traditional Naturopathic Medicine utilizes Natural forms of Healing in order to help the body to better engage in healing illness from the inside out.

Traditional Naturopathic Medicine Combines Western and Natural forms of diagnosis; uses a wide range of non-invasive approaches such as Nutrition, Herbs, Homeopathy; Blood and Saliva Testing; Bio Identical Hormone Replacement; Vitamin and Nutritional Therapy; Manipulation of the body, Exercise, Stress Reduction Techniques, and Asian Medicine Therapies.
