“A growing body of scientific evidence has demonstrated that lifestyle intervention is an essential component in the treatment of chronic disease that can be as effective as medication, but without the risks and unwanted side-effects.”

WHOLE HEALTH FOR LIFE

 

What is Whole Health?

Whole Health is a cutting-edge approach to care that supports your health and well-being. Whole Health centers around what matters to you, not what is the matter with you. This is a transformation of health care from sickness care to wellness care. This means your health team will get to know you as a person, before working with you to develop a personalized health plan based on your values, needs, and goals.

Find out how you can live your life to the fullest with the most optimal health you can achieve, both physically and mentally, from home through our on-going self care blog series, virtual care services, and recommendations for physical medicine exams and testing as necessary and available. The blog series highlights Whole Health resources—such as video sessions for yoga, Tai Chi, Qi gong, therapeutic exercises, meditation, and many more—that you can follow along at home to live healthier and happier.

You can also learn from our podcast episodes through interviews with other Pain Slayers, Whole health experts, and featured topics on specific medical conditions. You can also check out our weekly Whole health journal club where we feature a newly published, cutting-edge, scientific article related to improving your health with natural methods and solutions. You can also join our Facebook Groups, The Pain Slayers and the Whole Health Fanatics. These groups provide inspiration, collaboration and motivation with their stories of successfully regaining their health and mobility.

How to Get Started

Start a conversation with your health team about your needs and priorities, or learn about Whole Health practices from Dr Colette through the Introduction to Whole Health and Taking Charge of My Life and Health courses. You can request this information under “Contact us”.

Our staff will support and guide you through the Personal Health Inventory, Health Appraisal Questionnaire, Rainbow Evaluation, or other applicable self-assessment tools, and help you create your own Personal Whole Health Plan. What matters to you will shape your plan and drive your choice of clinical treatments. We also understand that your Whole health plan is a journey that will change as your circumstances change and as you go through stages of life your health needs will change. We are here to help you with these challenges as they arise.

The road to better health and well-being starts here, with you. Fill out the Personal Health Inventory and share it with Dr Colette.
