Julie Rake Integrative Medicine

Julie Rake Integrative Medicine It is a real movement and in essence the goal is restoring the focus of medicine onto health and healing and away from disease and mere symptom management.

People often ask, “What is Integrative Medicine (IM)?” The short answer is that IM is the intelligent combination of traditional conventional medicine combined with evidenced based complimentary and alternative treatments. To me IM means a lot more. The IM practitioner embodies health, is a steward of healing and a curator of wholeness. We commit to exemplify the lifestyle we recommend. Whether

the patient needs assistance in the arenas of mind, body or spirit, the provider is adept at partnering with and providing care in any and all of these domains. Today we have excellent practitioners of conventional medicine who manage chronic disease processes and are skilled at critical care. However, we are in crisis in unprecedented ways. Brene Brown, Doctor of Social Science, reminds us “We are the most in debt, addicted and obese adult cohort in American history.” We are in desperate need of practitioners proficient in healing the moral and spiritual wounds that drive damaging behaviors. We need providers practiced at untying the knots and neural pathways that drive negative, damaging and repetitive thinking. We need healers who can assist with personal transformation in exceptional ways raising awareness and expanding consciousness. Finally, we need agents of courage willing to step into the lives of another, to empathically take the journey together. Since antiquity, the role of healer was to lead people out of the darkness of infirmary into the light of health. Having faced our own injuries and illnesses on our own healing journey, we are familiar with the path. In the words of the great teacher Pema Chodron “Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others.” The journey into healing is best supported when travelled with a skillful, compassionate and ethical leader to carry the lantern. Integrative Medicine is the vessel through which I attempt to assist in revitalizing and invigorating suspended and infirm lives.

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew,
The sight could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward,
in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend."
~ Henry Longfellow.

In this poem, the speaker releases an “arrow watching it vanish, and then “breathes a song” into the world, which also drifts beyond sight.

Years later, he rediscovers the arrow 🏹 perfectly preserved and unbroken—in the heart of an ancient oak tree. The song 🎶 reappears too, not in the tree, but in the heart of a friend.

Sometimes we feel like our hard work, or efforts have gone unnoticed. They seem to “vanish out of sight.” Remember, they are never lost. Our ripples 🌊 reach places we can’t imagine. You never know when you’re creating a spark that will last forever. Have a Magnificent Monday. ♥️

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible moms out there—may your day be filled with love, appreciation, and well-deserved rest.

I’m also mindful that for many, this a day carries pain: those who've lost their mothers to illness, time, or tragedy. Moms grieving a child they lost; those who couldn't bear children; and those whose early bonds were severed by addiction, adoption, or circumstance. To those navigating a bittersweet day, your feelings are valid—hold space for the joy and the sorrow. You are seen.

Cheers to those who carry the attributes of “mother:” caring, sacrificing, understanding, nurturing, encouraging, supportive, forgiving, and most of all - loving. Happy Mother’s Day! 🕊️🤍

This image is not about politics—it's not left or right, Democrat or Republican. It's a moment to sigh, take a breath 😮‍💨, and remember we are all navigating this insane asylum together. We are one human family, existing precariously together on this precious blue dot. 🌏

Laugh, cry, sigh, try, and keep your heart open. Ultimately, love is unconquerable, unbreakable, and victorious. Spoiler alert ….. In the end, love always wins. 💙 Happy Friday!

It all matters. That someone turns out the lamp, picks up the windblown wrapper, listens to the repeated tale, folds the abandoned laundry, acknowledges help, gives credit, says good night, wipes the counter, makes the bed, tips the maid, remembers the illness, congratulates the victor, accepts the consequences, takes a stand, steps up, offers a hand, goes first, goes last, teaches the child, tends to the dying, comforts the grieving, removes the splinter, wipes the tear, directs the lost, and touches the lonely. What is most beautiful, is least acknowledged. What is worth dying for is barely noticed. ~ Laura McBride. ☀️ Good morning. Happy Thursday. 💛
