Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH)

Integrative Medicine and Health offers services for all aspects of your health and well-being, including the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental.

Clinical Hypnosis
is the process of (a) intentionally inducing a trance state and (b) using that state to promote beneficial mental, emotional, or physical therapeutic effects. A hypnosis is a biological state of deep absorption, concentration, and focused attention.

Guided imagery
incorporates the use of a succession of multi-sensory images that are intended to cause particular changes in physiology, feelings or psychological state in order to increase healing or unconscious changes. Guided Imagery frequently starts out with a series of breathing methods, however this is sometimes not the case. Often, guided imagery is used as a self-help technique without the intervention of a professional. However, in more difficult circumstances, guided imagery is performed in a healthcare setting, either individually or in groups.

Meditation
is a specified practice or approach, frequently derived from a mindful custom, which focuses on training attention control processes with the goal of building a healthy mental state as well as certain abilities such as focus, understanding, or awareness. Unlike hypnosis, guided imagery, and psychotherapies, the emphasis is on training the processes of attention rather than expressly addressing a change in the mental state.

Tai Chi
is a mind-body workout that incorporates slow, deliberate movements, breathing, awareness, and imagery. Tai Chi is based on Asian martial arts customs, Chinese medicine, and philosophy, and it improves relaxation, vitality, attention, posture, coordination, flexibility, endurance, and emotion.

Qi gong

is an ancient Chinese therapeutic technique that is older than and comparable to tai chi, with the goal of nurturing the body's life energy, or qi. It requires coordination of the respiration, improve your posture, awareness, vision, and concentrated movements. Qigong can be a standing or movement meditation.
