What is a Holistic or Integrated Health Consultation?

Dr Paula Martin is a GP with a special interest in Mind Body Medicine and Holistic Health.

Dr Paula offers specialised health consultations both in person and online. During your consultation Dr Paula will combine her training in Western Medicine and her experience in Mind Body Medicine, to explore your health concern, and maximise wellbeing. The consultation involves looking at whole-person strategies that address the underlying factors influencing your health, rather than just treating the symptoms of disease. This integrated approach to health invites you to take an active role in your own health and wellbeing.

Integrated Medicine believes in the body’s natural ability to support it’s own healing process and come back into balance.

Influenced by the work of Dr Craig Hassid (Monash University), this consultation explores your health concern in relation to seven pillars of health:
  • Education – learning to understand your health challenge and improve your wellbeing
  • Stress management  & Relaxation – learn new skills to bring greater ease to body, mind & heart
  • Exercise – finding whats right for you
  • Nutrition & Diet – to suit your health needs
  • Connectivity – entering a therapeutic relationship of presence, care and support
  • Environment – learning to minimise stress and maximise wellness at work and at home
  • Spirituality – exploring ways to find meaning, even in times of  challenge
