Should I share with my physician the holistic healing work that I am doing with you?

Absolutely, my work supports any other form of health care treatment, plus I can be a great addition to your healing team. Sometimes I do require for my clients to be in the care of a physician, for me to be able to serve you better.

Several studies have found that perhaps one-third of patients discuss their use of integrative medicine approaches with their physician. Many clients are reluctant to approach their physician, fearing disapproval or disparagement. Clinicians may be reluctant to discuss holistic care with patients and families, often because of their own skepticism or lack of knowledge about it. It is clear, however, that we must overcome this reluctance.

Discussing holistic care affords a valuable opportunity to learn about and understand what is working, allow mutual exchange of information, and forge an effective therapeutic alliance.
