Holistic nurses are those who recognize and treat each patient differently. They nurture wholeness and healing by respecting each patient’s unique physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and environmental strengths and challenges and honoring each patient’s values, health beliefs and health experience.

A holistic approach to self-care means thinking about your body, mind and social environment. “One of the frameworks that we learned in medical school is the use of the ‘bio-psycho-social model’ to formulate treatment plans for our patients,” explain the psychologists.
