This Twin Cities, Minnesota-based group is open to all Holistic Health Practitioners who want to network with like-minded professionals. We assist others with Emotional, Mental, Physical & Spiritual Wellness. Our members are interested in areas like Acupuncture/Herbal Medicine, Meditation, and Energy Healing, etc. We support each other to strengthen the field of Holistic Health/Integrative Medicine including its best practices, collaboration, and information sharing. Our group is also a Chapter of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM).

Our purpose is to promote the awareness and effectiveness of holistic and integrative health care.

What is ‘holistic’? The term ‘holistic’ came into use in 1926, and reflects the concept that ‘the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.’ In human health, this reflects an appreciation for the fact that all of our physical systems and anatomy can be separated from each other, but life is only possible when they are unified and functioning.

What is ‘integrative’? The word comes from the Latin word integer, or ‘a complete entity.’ So integrative is to weave together various influences to make one influence: various forms of health care and providers working together to help restore, achieve and maintain health.

There are many different sources of health services that can contribute to holistic and integrative health. We offer basic information on some of the more commonly used professions and methods.

Be well. Be whole.
