Love the One You're With by Molly Roberts, MD
 I was listening to a conversation recently that discussed the importance of expressing love in theworkplace. Now, now, I'm not talking about THAT kind of love! I'm talking about a more humanistic, treat-others-the-way-you-would-want-to-be-treated, recognize-the-sacred-and-beautiful-in-each-person kind of love. As holistic practitioners we often talk about this for our patients, and the healing power of love is one of the foundational tenets of the American Holistic Medical Association. However, not every holistic practice is a place of love, friendship and comfort. We don't always save our best behavior for our family or our coworkers and so if you are working in this less friendly type of environment, let's talk! |

Holistic
Medicine
And You Need Each Other
|
 You know why you joined AHMA. You know why you practice medicine as you do. More and more, people - your patients - are looking for the integrative, holistic approach to managing their health. We realized (again) at last year's retreat, The Healer Within, that you, as well as each member, need one another to remain whole, healthy, and able to help others. AHMA doesn't have chapters in every state, however, we want to help you connect with like-minded professionals whenever and wherever possible. So please, help us help you. If you want to start a chapter in your area, please contact Natalie Talis; bookmark our calendar and check it often to find helpful events and opportunities to earn CMEs or other applicable education credits. To place events on our calendar that others might benefit from, send an email to Natalie. Thanks for helping us connect you with other members! | |
