  • Analyze how whole-person and integrative approaches combine conventional, lifestyle, and complementary therapies.

  • Evaluate scientific evidence supporting integrative practices such as EFT/Tapping, Tai Chi, Meditation, and Breathwork.

  • Demonstrate practical skills in whole person health modalities for clinical and self-care use.

  • Assess psychosocial, emotional, and lifestyle factors in chronic disease and healing.

  • Apply and explain integrative strategies that promote stress resilience, lifestyle change, and patient well-being.

  • Compare innovations in health technology and evidence-informed practices to advance integrative care.

  • Examine the biological mechanisms, including the microbiome and mitochondria, that link whole-person health practices to outcomes.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Evaluate and apply whole-person health approaches, including creative expression and gratitude(story, movement, and voice), lifestyle-based movement and exercise prescriptions, culinary and nutritional strategies for healing, and meditation/mindfulness practices to enhance patient care, promote self-care, and advance whole-person healing in clinical and community settings.

  • Analyze and apply evidence-informed practices, including EFT/tapping, Tai Chi, breathwork, reiki/energy healing, and other approaches to addressing the emotional basis of chronic pain—to advance whole-person healing by fostering resilience, regulating mind-body processes, and integrating diverse healing modalities into clinical and community care.
