About The West Island Complementary Health Alliance

RSVP Policy

It is impossible to separate the health of the planet from that of its population. The West Island Complementary Health Alliance is an organization of practitioners and businesses that recognize this fact. We are made up of individuals who are complementary or (alternative) health care practitioners, and businesses that are eco or earth friendly. We are uniting to learn about each others areas of expertise, network, and disseminate information to the population in our communities. We believe that the health of the population can be improved by a better understanding and a higher frequency of use of the complementary therapies as well as the incorporation of earth friendly practices.

This organization allows its members and attendees to build relationships with colleagues and discuss key global and environmental health issues, as well as to network to grow their businesses.

The prime goals of the alliance are to learn, spread knowledge, and disseminate information to nurses and physicians trained in the western tradition as well as the general population. Getting truthful information on our practices and businesses out to more people will result in many things. The community and its population, as well as the future will be healthier and the businesses represented will grow.

Welcome in the group are a wide range of practitioners and businesses not limited to TCMs, Homeopaths, Naturopaths, Yoga and Meditation Instructors, Massage Therapists, Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, General Practitioners, Nurses, Chiropractors, Nutritionists, Energy Healers, Psychologists, Personal Trainers and Personal Coaches. Earth friendly and health conscious businesses that would fit well within our parameters are health product based distributors, eco friendly stores, organic or health aware food distributors as well as businesses that promote health and wellness, or that sell eco friendly and sustainable alternatives to our everyday common products.

We already all share a common goal; and that is to help others find balance and improved health. We will achieve our goals more effectively and cooperatively with information, understanding and trust in fellow practitioners and businesses. Our clients, our businesses, as well as society can only benefit from the existence of the West Island Complementary Health Alliance.

The group is scheduled to meet once monthly for an early morning meeting and once monthly for an evening meeting. Attendance at these meetings is optional, although it is highly recommended for those wishing to see results from their networking efforts. The meetings are posted through a web-based community called Meetup.com, membership there is free, the url where information can be found is http://alternative.me...
