We are a team of experienced clinicians, consultants, educators, coaches and facilitators with a genuine purpose to enable individual practitioners, clinics, hospitals and businesses, to realise the potential of establishing integrative medicine services.
Healthcare delivery is currently challenged by an imbalance of care demand and resources and there is evidence that integrating standard medical practices with lifestyle and complementary approaches, leads to better care outcomes, reduction of demand for acute and unpredictable care, reduction in care costs and improved customer satisfaction from care.
