Mission, Vision, Values

Holistic therapists and health practitioners ascribe to these specific values and work within the following governing principles:

• Unconditional Love:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners offer care from an infinite field of love and compassion.
• Do No Harm:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners do no harm, and serve humanity with the objective of cultivating goodness and wholeness.  Holistic healers have the obligation to determine the efficacy and safety of all healing actions.
• Optimal Health:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners see the client as a whole person — body, mind and spirit — seeking to realize the highest possible level of functioning and balance of the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects present within each individual.
• Walk the Talk:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners practice and engage in healthy and spiritual practices that support mind-body-spirit wholeness on a daily basis.  Certified practitioners assume the privilege and the responsibility to identify and integrate self-care strategies to enhance their own well being, assisting, encouraging and inspiring others to do the same.  Holistic healers recognize that self-care practices support and significantly enhance healing capacities for every client.
• Innate Healing Power:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners believe in the innate healing power of the human being, and honor this gift from the universe by evoking and helping patients utilize these powers to affect the healing process.
• Confidentiality:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners uphold the confidentiality of each client and treat as confidential all information learned in the performance of their professional duties, while observing relevant requirements regarding disclosure (abuse and/or imminent danger to self and others).
• Professionalism:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners treat all parties with respect and maintain cooperative and empowered relationships with other fellow colleagues and professionals.  Holistic healers strive to provide care in a culturally appropriate manner, developing awareness for the cultures of the clients they serve, to facilitate communication across cultural differences.  Additionally, holistic practitioners are sensitive to the boundary needs of individual clients.  The holistic healer does not make medical diagnoses nor prescribe medications without appropriate training and licensure; neither do they suggest that the client change prescribed treatment or interfere with the treatment of a licensed health care provider.
• Competence:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners carry personal responsibility for practice and for maintaining continued competence.  Holistic healers offer and provide services commensurate with their training, perform only those services for which they are qualified, and recommit themselves to pursuing continuing professional education and training to maintain and enhance their competence.
• Wisdom:  Holistic therapists and health practitioners pursue wisdom and act accordingly.  Holistic healers cultivate awareness and understanding concerning individual consciousness and one’s relationship to Universal Consciousness.  Holistic healers recognize that illness, pain, and the dying process offer learning and growth opportunities for both the client and the holistic healer.
