Our bodies are accurate navigational systems that constantly inform us of our imbalances if we pay attention. Emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, as well as our personal relationships and work life.
Jennie Lowes
Everything is interconnected, so paying attention to imbalances early on can guide us into making wiser choices. Leading us to a greater sense of inner peace and health.
“If you don’t take care of wellness, you will be forced to take care of illness”

“Let food be my medicine and medicine be thy food”
Hippocrates
Nutrition and the role it plays in the restoration of health and the maintenance of health cannot be overstated.
Going back as far as the times of Hippocrates, it was the steadfast belief that food should be the primary medicine.
In the last century, we have seen a dramatic drop in infectious disease and lower rates of nutrient deficiencies in the Western world. This came with a trade-off.
The incidence and mortality caused by infectious disease significantly decreased due to advancements mainly in antibiotic therapy. At the same time, rates of chronic lifestyle-related diseases have risen. We are seeing once again the rise of vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the Western world.
The philosophy of Integrative Health is that one’s health is an expression of the complex interplay between the physical and chemical, mental and emotional, as well as spiritual and environmental aspects of one’s life and being. Medicine is an art.
Professionals who are trained in Integrative Health and healing do so from a whole-person perspective, considering the balance of the holy trinity “mind, body and soul”.
This requires fully engaging the individual in their health recovery process and honouring their innate wisdom. Working in an empowering and cooperative manner to chart the course to optimal health.
