Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine (AIHM): Values
Optimal Health is the primary goal of the practice of holistic health and medicine. It is the
conscious pursuit of the highest level of functioning and balance of the physical, environmental,
mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of human experience, resulting in a dynamic
state of being fully alive. This creates a condition of well-being regardless of the presence or
absence of disease. This is the pursuit of health creation.
The Healing Power of Love. Holistic healthcare practitioners strive to meet the patient with
grace, kindness, acceptance, and spirit without condition, as love is life’s most powerful healer.
Wholeness. Holistic healthcare practitioners view people as the unity of body, mind, spirit
and the systems in which they live.
Prevention and Treatment. Holistic healthcare practitioners promote health, prevent illness
and help raise awareness of dis-ease in our lives rather than merely managing symptoms. A
holistic approach relieves symptoms, modifies contributing factors, and enhances the patient’s
life system to optimize future well-being.
Innate Healing Power. All people have innate powers of healing in their bodies, minds and
spirits. Holistic healthcare practitioners evoke and help patients utilize these powers to affect
the healing process.
Integration of Healing Systems. Integrative practitioners embrace the use of all
appropriate global healing traditions and integrative healthcare strategies, disciplines, systems
and healthcare professionals for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. We
embrace collaborative care among providers and between disciplines.
Relationship-centered care. The ideal practitioner-patient relationship is a partnership,
which encourages patient autonomy, and values the needs and insights of both parties. The
quality of this relationship is an essential contributor to the healing process.
Individuality. Holistic healthcare practitioners focus patient care on the unique needs and
nature of the person who has an illness rather than the illness that has the person.
Teaching by Example. Holistic healthcare practitioners continually work toward the
personal incorporation of the principles of holistic health, which then profoundly influence the
quality of the healing relationship.
Learning Opportunities. All life experiences including birth, joy, suffering and the dying
process are profound learning opportunities for both patients and healthcare practitioners.
