Harmony Integrative Therapies

The Harmony Integrative Therapies program provides gentle, non-invasive treatments address physical needs, as well as those on social, emotional, spiritual and cognitive levels. These therapies do not replace traditional treatments; rather, they integrate with medical care that is being provided by using safe, non-medical therapies to achieve comfort and a general sense of wellbeing. We believe that it is possible to experience a sense of wholeness, even when the physical body is experiencing an illness. In the same way that a harmony line enriches the melody of song, integrative therapies add a new dimension of comfort care to medical treatment.

• Aromatherapy involves the use of pure, essential oils for the purposes of relaxation, comfort, and stress relief.
