General Info:
Our mission is to provide high quality, patient-centered health care using thoughtful, evidence-based integrative medicine. Integrative medicine is healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative. At Alive Integrative Medicine, we strive to meet the needs of our patients by providing a safe, respectful and nurturing environment. Inherent in our mission, it is our commitment to provide quality, patient-centered health care so we may have a positive impact on the lives of our patients, their families and ultimately our community.
As healers and healthcare providers, we understand the pain and suffering experienced by being perceived and treated as the “other” – personally and systemically through explicit and implicit racism, sexism, homophobia, and classism. Our work strives to encourage a world that is just and compassionate, one that honors difference and praises authentic connection between people. We do not condone acts of hate, division, or xenophobia, and pledge to not stand idly by as they occur. At Alive, we are deeply committed to the practice of being human to one another. Whoever you are, you are safe here. We welcome feedback and want to know how we can continue to meet our strivings of inclusivity and affirming cultural diversity.
Commitment to Personal Dignity and Social Wellness
We value the uniqueness of each individual and strive to treat every patient and client with respect and dignity. At Alive, we believe in showing up for each other in deep ways and share in a dynamic where connection unites and heals. We believe deeply in human flourishing and human transformation but we cannot get there alone. We understand that meaningful relationships are an integral part of overall health and wellbeing and so we strive to build bonds of understanding, respect, and compassion. At Alive, we want to offer a space that mirrors our values and sense of responsibility for ourselves, each other, our communities and the planet. We strive to support our clients in developing personal and social practices that promote health, sustainability and community building.
