Anthroposophical Medicine is an integrative medical system, an extension of conventional medicine incorporating a holistic approach to the human being, nature, to illness and healing.  For more information see Anthroposophical Medicine: An Integrative Medical System Originating in Europe.

The Sophia Healing Centre is not presently functioning as a full time clinic and therefore cannot offer acute care services.

It is the intention of the Sophia Healing Centre to provide patient-centered health care and answers to actual questions of our health care system. Therefore, we are involved not only in medical care but also in scientific research and education.

We are open to network with other holistic health care providers and conventional specialists to support fruitful cooperation of our complementary skills to achieve optimal outcomes for our patients.
