The Center is working to create a more effective, comprehensive and compassionate model of healthcare and health education. The Center’s model combines the precision of modern science with the wisdom of the world’s healing traditions, to help health professionals heal themselves, their patients and clients, and their communities. Our scientifically proven techniques include:
Our approach to mind-body medicine makes self-care central to all healthcare. It explores, respects and integrates the healing practices of the world including acupuncture, meditation and yoga, as well as alternative Western approaches including herbalism, massage, musculo–skeletal manipulation, and prayer. We are clinicians and scientists seeking to advance medicine by integrating the best of all scientifically proven approaches. We view illness as an opportunity for personal growth and transformation as well as a profound challenge, and healthcare providers as catalysts and guides in this process. Healthcare practitioners that we train to practice mind-body medicine enhance their own well–being. They learn how to affect change in their patients' lives, and create clinical practices and educational experiences that are deeply fulfilling for themselves and those they serve.
