I am passionate about holistic health, nursing, wellness, disease prevention, and helping people attain their optimal health of mind, body, and Spirit.
I am an advanced practice nurse and worked in the intensive care units for over 15 years. One day as I looked around the ICU, I thought – “that could have been prevented … that could have been prevented … that could have been prevented.” I had an epiphany at that moment that we really don’t do health care. We do disease care. We wait until you get sick and then try to fix it.
I found out that 30% of ALL chronic diseases (including cancer) can be prevented with diet and exercise. While I have great respect for traditional medicine, there is soooo much more that can be done to enhance health and well-being. So I started the Institute for Integrative Medicine in 2000 to focus on wellness and disease prevention.
Here is our mission:
We offer a person-centered care model designed to empower the individual to become an active partner in their optimal health and well-being through a Wholistic approach to mind, body, Soul and Spirit.
and our Vision:
We are committed to transforming healthcare – one patient at a time – by offering a personalized partnership with clients/patients in an unparalleled experience to help achieve their best health of body, mind, Soul and Spirit.
I did write a book that includes how to transform your health – body, mind and Spirit (as well as how to transform our disease-care systems) to focus on patient-centered care. You can find the book, Transforming Healthcare: Healing You, Me and our Broken Disease-Care System at www.butlerbooks.com or on Amazon.
