"Integrative Holistic Nursing is a Spiritual Path!"
~ Dr. Martha Libster ~
Integrative holistic nursing is a spiritual path of freedom
exemplifying the archetype of "mother." Nursing is service to humanity
in which the truth of deep love is demonstrated in caring actions that
have meaning for each patient, family, or community and the nurse too.
It is a very practical and visionary path.
What is Integrative Holistic Nursing?
Providing physical, emotional and psychological care and spiritual companionship to support a
person, family, or community in their process of finding their life purpose as well as making meaning of health challenges. Integrative holistic nursing spiritual care energizes nurses and patients alike. Each nurse discovers their unique way of demonstrating care. For example, my contribution is advancing the practice of nurse-herbalism as partnership with plants in care.
