From the practitioner: About My Practice

Vision: Creating health to reveal meaning and ultimate purpose

At Telos Functional and Integrative Medicine LLC ("Telos") our approach is rooted in science . . . a system that is, itself, descended from and derived from much older healing traditions.  These ancient traditions are woven into the very history of humankind and have endured into the modern age.  Indeed, the culture of "Telos" arises from the recognition of the inseparable nature of modern science (i.e., careful observation, inquiry, and rigorous testing) from its origin born of deep feeling, curiosity, intuition, and insight intrinsic to many of the world's traditional healing arts.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

The practice of Functional Medicine and Integrative Medicine at "Telos" weaves what may seem to be disparate and mutually exclusive world views into one fluid, cohesive, and effective healing paradigm.  "Telos's" providers recognize that healing traditions that were once thought to be archaic are indeed the prototype and the very foundation for all modern healing arts, including science-based methods and systems.

In skillfully blending various healing systems and traditions, "Telos's" providers, together with their clients, create a dynamic and emergent potential, which inevitably and, as a matter of course, results in healing and health that is customized, durable, powerful, and transformative.
