Over the past few months we have been talking with many health professionals about a more integrated approach to healing and an easier access of a range of holistic services. We have been fascinated with the enthusiastic response we have received and the depth of conversations that have ensued.
Key feedback to us in these conversations is the understanding that there is no one organisation or person that has an in-depth understanding of all the potential ways in which a person can either regain health or improve their health. What was well understood however was, that one way in which we can grow as professionals and give the best service to our clients was by networking and gaining a better understanding of what we all do. Armed with this understanding we can make considered and valuable referrals to assist our clients when they most need it.
There are so many health professionals out there that I for one have trouble knowing who is the best person to refer a client to. Is their issue limited to their body, their thoughts or their feelings? …..Of course it will be a combination as each impacts upon the other.
Next quarter we will include some articles or case studies of how an integrated approach can be useful for our clients and I would love to hear about your experiences as practitioners as to how you have seen this work. So, put your thinking caps on for a case study or perhaps you have your own story to share with us all!
Thank you for your encouragement, words of wisdom and collegial support.
