Dear Michael,
 
As many of you may know, my work is intended to provide people with information, motivation and the inspiration that they need to transform their lives. Along these lines, I have been talking with my personal trainer and friend Shawn Mallon for some time, trying to figure out a way we can offer our services in a combined program. In fact, just this morning Shawn mentioned that one of his clients said recently, "You know, I really need to get my life together." And, that's what this is all about!
 
One of the observations we have made is that while people have good intentions, particularly at this time of year, resolutions are hard to carry out. There are a number of factors for this, particularly the discipline that is required. Still, most people contemplate some adjustment in their lifestyle for the New Year to come. We would like to help you with yours and finally believe we have crafted a program that will work and are proud to offer it, beginning in January.
 
The program outlined below is a practical application of these concepts and meant to provide enough feedback and support throughout a one year period of time to keep participatnt on track.
 
Along the way, individuals will see me every six weeks. The  Wellness Self Test will provide the basis for a comprehensive life assessment and an individually tailored program that will include advise on nutrition and supplements, "alternative and complementary" practices and stress management, as well as regular exercise--a truly integrated solution!
 
Shawn and I will look forward to working with you, please call us or send an email with any questions.
 
To your health,
 
MIchael

Integrative Medicine is both prevention and healing oriented. It incorporates modalities that focus on the mind and spirit as well as those that are more conventionally rooted in the biological sciences. Integrative Medicine is finding its place with those whose minds are open while remaining grounded in credible practices.

 

SunRaven was created as a space to hold this intention: that individuals and our society as a whole will learn and move forward in their evolution - to achieve a state of peace, tranquility, harmony and balance that comes from the collective wisdom of our great teachers

Michael's work has evolved over the years from a traditional internal medicine practice to a more healing-oriented approach to health and wellness where he integrates this body of collective wisdom and science into something that is practical for individuals directly. His belief that everyone has the potential to attain a greater degree of resonance drives his optimism that better health is within reach for all of us.

Additional updates from SunRaven 
 
I have received a lot of feedback and interest regarding the Mindful Gardening Project and the Group Juice Fast. There will be two introductory meetings for the Garden Project toward the end of January and the beginning of February for individuals interested...please look out for those dates.
 
And for those interested in the Juice Fast, there is some potential that the dates will be moved back one week to clear the Spring Break recess that is scheduled in most of the schools in the area between April 25th and May 3rd (the oringinally proposed dates for the Juice Fast). So please hold these dates (May 2 - May 10) for now as well...I will send out a "final date" next month.
 
Finally, please consider joining us for the SunRaven Book Club meeting scheduled on Thursday January 10th at 7PM to discuss the poems in Roger Housden's collection: Risking Everything: 110 Poems of Love and Revelation.
 
I will look forward to hearing from you
and wish you peace,
 
Michael
