Human beings are a unity of body, mind, emotions and spirit. In health, these components freely interact and participate in the expression of our highest potential. Through trauma, illness and difficult life experiences, our capacity to live life to the fullest becomes limited.

Integrative Medicine is the holistic combination of conventional and complementary medicine approaches. Integrative Medicine includes:

1. Whole medical systems, e.g. traditional medicine and homeopathy.
2. Mind-body medicine, e.g. meditation and body-oriented psychotherapy.
3. Body-based practices, e.g. osteopathy and therapeutic exercise.
4. Biological practices, e.g. therapeutic use of herbs, foods and vitamins.

An important aspect of Dr. Soule’s practice is the empowerment of each patient to help restore and maintain his or her own health. This includes participation in planning and decision making regarding health care treatments and taking responsibility for self-care at home, involving diet, exercise and sleep.

In his osteopathic practice, Dr. Soule frequently encountered various emotional responses in his patients while working on restricted or painful areas in their bodies. Patients would report the experience of an emotion during the release of a strain from the tissues. He became interested in learning how to better support his patients in dealing with their emotional material. This led to his completing a four-year training program in Core Energetics, a type of mind-body therapy developed by John Pierrakos, M.D. This training showed how emotional defenses and blocks are held in the body and how they can be released to achieve improved vitality and functioning. Modalities used in Mind-Body medicine include body movements, centering and grounding exercises, body awareness exercises, breathing and relaxation techniques.

Mind-body techniques re-balance the autonomic nervous system, transforming the "fight or flight" response into a state of relaxed awareness. With various mind-body approaches, Dr. Soule helps patients get in touch with their inner strength and resilience.

In addition to homeopathic remedies, Dr. Soule utilizes nutritional and herbal medicines in the treatment of various functional conditions including sleep disorders, digestive complaints, allergies and hormonal imbalances. He has found that patients appreciate the option of individually prescribed natural medicines as indicated by appropriate diagnostic studies.

Integrative medicine is a true holistic healing approach which promotes the activation of our greatest potential as human beings.
