Healthcare as we know it today is not meeting the needs of the American people. It is focused on a diagnosis instead of the cause of an ailment, it is a system for profit causing out of control costs associated with our healing and there is an over dependency on pharmaceuticals and invasive surgeries. Project HEAL America is an initiative started through our non-profit holistic healing center, The HEAL Center, located in Ojai, California. Through this non-profit we have developed a ground-breaking and unique integrative healthcare model that we want to bring to the world. Project HEAL America is a vehicle not only for us to share this new model, but also to provide a platform for Americans to share their stories of healthcare (learn more at ProjectHealAmerica.com). Our mission is to do all we can to see a healthier, happier humanity!
This campaign is to raise funds for training our practitioners, securing a space large enough to implement and pilot this innovative model while collecting the data we need to show it's success. We need lab equipment to show diagnostic improvement, space for our team approach to healing to function within and we need to hire the appropriate trainers to ensure that our Western (doctors, nurses, physical therapists, etc.) and Eastern (acupuncturists, naturopaths, herbal remedy specialists, etc.) healing practitioners are all well-versed on natural healing techniques and integrative medicine, learn to operate as a team without self-importance, and engage in their own analysis of their ego, emotional triggers and personal needs.
We believe that together we can create a new healthcare for humanity!
We have developed a model of healthcare that combines both Western (Doctors, nurses, clinical psychologists, nutritionists, physical therapists, etc.) and Eastern (acupuncturists, energy healers, naturopaths, herbal medicine practitioners, ayurvedic practitioners, etc.) modalities together to work with the whole of a person as a team to determine what they need physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to be the healthiest they can be. This system is designed to be replicable in its business model, practitioner training model, team treatment approach and healing approach. There are many integrated models out there, however most of those are built from or are contained within a Western model--the very model we know is not working. We are not bound by the requirements of the typical Western system that prevent true change from occurring.
When someone comes to our center they will be greeted warmly and treated as an equal in their healing. A person may come to us for physical ailments, emotional or mental ailments, for personal growth, advice on their relationship or career or they may not know exactly why they come, they are just drawn to be there. The first approach to our healing partnership is an initial consultation. During this meeting the patient is asked about their mental & emotional state, their physical health, their career, their relationships with colleagues, friends and family, their upbringing and their life in general. By engaging in this collaborative analysis between the patient and practitioner we are looking at the whole person, noticing patterns and beginning to make connections between all aspects of their life. This information is then shared with our team of practitioners who will then determine the best course of action for that individual person's healing. The patient is a team member along with the team of practitioners and can choose to take all suggestions, some, or none of them; the team will support the patient's decision regardless of what it is. The healing for the patient is approached from the aspect of looking for the cause of the ailment followed by the use of any of the following: education, physical remedies, mental and emotional healing and clearing, or energetic balancing. The amount and length of appointments will be dependent on each individual with constant recommendations and support from the team.
Our Team of practitioners look for the cause of ailments, not just diagnose an isolated issue and treat it with a band-aid cure or invasive pharmaceuticals and surgeries.
Through this healthcare model, clients will engage in an intake process where they speak about their mental, physical, emotional, and energetic well-being along with speaking about nutrition, family, career, social life, spiritual journey, and personal history. Based on that initial consultation, the team of health practitioners will give recommendations of a health and healing plan that includes a multitude of healing modalities.
For example one person may come to the HEAL Center for lower back pain and could receive a recommendation to engage in any of the following: emotional clearing, x-rays, Myofascial Release, MRI, acupuncture, relationship counseling, nutritional coaching, etc. The client then has the choice to take some, all, or none of the recommendations made.
Within this process clients may receive a diagnosis for a medical concern, however, once again there will be no pharmaceuticals or invasive surgeries recommended and all treatments will be holistic, natural, and non-invasive. We believe the root cause of most illnesses, conditions, and dis-ease within the body is a result of a combination of emotional, mental and nutritional health. We look to see what is not functioning within you to find the cause of your physical, emotional, or mental distress, therefore finding the cure.
Although we are firm with delivering only natural approaches to healing we do understand that there are times that pharmaceuticals and surgeries are needed so we will be prepared to refer clients to other facilities as needed.
A holistic model means that we explore all aspects of a person. Our team will ask about a person emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. They will ask about a person's relationships, home life, career, upbringing, nutrition, life journey and so on so that they can determine how your life is affecting your health. Once this is explored the team can then determine the best course of action for you to heal. Examples of the treatments available will include naturopathic medicine, physical therapy, nutritional counseling, Chinese medicine, body alignment and mechanics, myofascial release, herbal remedies, energetic healing, meridian balancing and stabilization, emotional release, mental support and countless approaches to a natural way to treat the whole person.
There are several features in this medical model that sets it apart from other systems. Where many systems are built on the foundation of a Western medical model and add in a few holistic approaches and practitioners into their current system, this model is built from a holistic foundation bringing Western practitioners in as equal team members, blending techniques and approaches to bring about a collaborative approach to health and wellness.
A
final unique feature comes through our practitioner training program. All
practitioners, Eastern and Western, along with all staff members must be
trained in the language and basic understanding of treating someone
holistically. We have developed a series of trainings that provide a basic
understanding of concepts such as the body’s meridians, Chinese medicine, using
herbs, tinctures and remedies, the myofascial system, intuitive coaching, energetic healing, emotional releasing,
etc. The uniqueness is that in addition to technical trainings we are requiring
all of our practitioners and staff to go through the same personal healing
methods we take our clients through - engaging in a process of healing old
emotional baggage, personal triggers and needs, and receive ongoing support on
their own journey.
We are asking for $111,000. These funds are to go toward training our practitioners, securing a space large enough to implement and pilot this new model while collecting the data we need to show it's success. We need lab equipment to show diagnostic improvement, space for our team approach to healing to function within and we need to hire the appropriate trainers to ensure that our Western and Eastern healing practitioners are all well versed on natural healing techniques & integrative medicine, learn to operate as a team without self-importance, and engage in their own analysis of their ego, emotional triggers and personal needs.
As you can see in the pie chart below we allot a significant amount of our funding toward project management and marketing & promoting our model. We want to be transparent about the reality that if we want to see this model become replicable around the globe we need to make sure that people know about it. That takes time, effort and manpower. We are committed to seeing this happen and encourage you to view the specific biographies of the team we have pulled together to make this happen.
If we do not reach our goal through this campaign we will still be moving forward with our vision. Nothing will stop us, however, it may be significantly delayed as we work to raise the necessary funds. We will do as much as we can with the funding we receive. As we see it, we can start small and build slowly or we can bring our vision into a reality through the phases we have developed. Regardless of our funding we know this system will come to fruition eventually, it is, however, based on the funding that determines how steadily we move forward. We do not believe in moving faster than our slowest parts need to develop, but we do also realize that we cannot move forward even with our slowest parts--those that need to develop with calculated precision-- if we do not have the funding to do so.We have been very realistic about our implementation of our system. We believe our greatest challenges will be:
