Here’s what our patient’s have to say about the benefits of the Integrative Health Pathways Program and the changes that they have made while participating:

I just wanted to let you know that I've started on my yoga practice. Sun salutations in the morning have been fantastic, and I've also been using the app to meditate before sleep. IHP Group Participant

I completed all 3 of the yoga recommendations you assigned me. I even took it a step farther and started doing the sun salutations after watching the video 3 times. And also started doing some research into kundalini and watched videos of it to compare to other yoga types. :) IHP Group Participant

I did notice an increase in energy and had better mood stability with more of a level head. IHP Group Participant

I have been working on being more intentional these past couple of weeks. Overall, my water intake has increased because I set a reminder on my phone. I have included more plant based meals into my diet. I'm practicing Vinyasa flow and meditation at least twice a week. Also, starting Monday I'm cutting out sugar, dairy, and alcohol for at least 7 days. IHP Group Participant

This is a shared medical visit only for established patients. You do need to have had a visit with our office within the past year to participate. Dr. Kourtney is the chief facilitator of this group. If you have insurance typically group visits are covered by insurance similar to an individual visit. If you are a self pay patient we do offer self pay rates for this type of group visit if you are an established patient.

This month’s group is all about food as medicine. During this month’s group visit we will focus on body centered meditations and body positive affirmations, and helping to coach patients on nurturing a healthy physical body. One of the main goals of this specific group is to review how to use food as medicine for yourself and your family. We will be teaching how herbs that are subtle in the moment can be powerful and effective healing allies when taken regularly. We will cover sample recipes for soups, spice blends, and tonic beverages to promote nutritional repletion, longevity and lasting vitality.

This shared medical group visit will include a 20-30 minute guided meditation, group discussion of insights on previously assigned work, a review of herbs that support as food as medicine approach as well as independent assignments that patients can use after the visit to help them work on their goals on being able to develop both a health mind and body.

Any patient that is currently sharing a lifestyle/dietary journal as part of their treatment plan will also have that reviewed as well as part of this visit.

If you are interested in participating in this group please call our office at 832-415-0376 to schedule.
