I have created the Institute of Mindfulness in Medicine with the mission to develop mindfulness and compassion in medicine.
I am a physician, a general practitioner, specialized in holistic medicine. I graduated from Helsinki University Medical Faculty in 1997, and have been learning and practising holistic medicine during the last 18 years in Germany and France. I have always been interested in the POWER OF MIND and BALANCED VALUE-BASED LIFESTYLE in health and healing. The last years I have dedicated my professional life in developing mindfulness based interventions in medicine, because mindfulness and self-compassion give us the basic insights and tools to understand our mind and the body we inhabit.
According to WHO, Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. In my vision of health care, this holistic attitude would be the norm.
Chronic health conditions cause both physical and mental suffering. Modern western medicine is mostly finding solutions to treat our BODY. But little emphasis is given to HOW, in midst of suffering, to manage the MIND. Mindfulness based interventions are evidence based methods to alleviate both physical and mental suffering, teaching resilience, coping mechanisms and increasing positive emotions and quality of life in the midst of discomfort, pain, depression and anxiety.
