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.

Good news to get the week started! 🗞️.

After losing his wife & nearly everything else, 88-year-old Army veteran Ed Bambas was working a Michigan checkout to survive. His pension & healthcare vanished when GM went bankrupt.

An Australian creator heard his story and shared it. The post reached millions, and strangers raised $1.77 million—giving Ed the peaceful retirement he deserves.

In a world that often feels divided, moments like these show the power of collective kindness, and that generosity has no borders. Here’s your proof that humanity still has a very big heart. 💟

A “Once in a Blue Moon” event begins tonight and reaches its peak fullness tomorrow in the early morning hours (1:45 a.m. AZ). This phenomenon occurs when the second Full Moon of the month rises—known as a Blue Moon 🔵

The full moon 🌝 reminds us that magic is not only found in rare moments. It’s always there in the constant movement of the sky itself—an eternal dance between light & shadow. 🌠

It’s easy to feel our lives are mostly out of our control. But every day we have small, powerful choices: the energy we bring into a room, the conversations we start, the people we meet, the ripples we make, and the kindness we extend.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead. Have an amazing day!! ✨💛

Before the TEDx stage… there was this little girl. 👧💔

A little girl who experienced fear, trauma, anxiety, and deep uncertainty about the world around her. 😔🌧️

Looking at these photos reminds me how important healing truly is. 🌱✨

Because behind every adult carrying pain… was once a child simply trying to feel safe, loved, and seen. 🫶🏽❤️‍🩹
