Glossary - Holistic Medicine in Alpharetta / Johns Creek

Definition

Holistic medicine is a whole-person approach to healthcare that addresses the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected elements of well-being. Instead of focusing only on symptoms, holistic medicine works to identify and treat root causes of illness while promoting overall balance and vitality.

At Geneva-Med Primary Care & Med Spa in Alpharetta, serving Johns Creek, Milton, and Roswell, we combine evidence-based conventional medicine with natural and complementary therapies — including Reiki energy healing and guided meditation — to create personalized wellness plans. This integrated approach helps our patients achieve lasting improvements in physical health, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.

Purpose

Our holistic care offerings are designed to:

• Promote optimal wellness by addressing the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.
  
• Support emotional well-being through stress-reduction practices like meditation and mindfulness.
  
• Encourage natural healing through gentle, non-invasive therapies like Reiki.
  
• Complement medical treatments with lifestyle-based, preventive strategies.
  
• Empower patients to take an active role in their health journey.
  

For Alpharetta and Johns Creek patients seeking a more comprehensive, healing-focused approach to healthcare, holistic medicine bridges traditional medicine with nurturing mind-body therapies.
