He shattered the clay vases and proclaimed we were all ‘broken.’ That day, during the sermon of Eastern 2016, it became clear to me. I heard the Spirit. I was not broken; nobody in that room was broken. I have been created perfect! The pastor was proclaiming the same distorted thinking than my physician training evoked: the false illusion that there is something wrong with us that needs fixing. I was called to restore people’s connection to the perfection that already resides within them and to each other.
The word ‘restore’ kept coming to mind when thinking about a name for this vision of a different wellness model. I looked up the Latin word for “restore” and received back a long list of possibilities. As a scroll down the list, the word Integro immediately call my attention. It summarizes so much about my journey and my vision. In Spanish and English, integro is the root for words that mean a moral standard, bringing things together and connect them into one and a mathematical term for whole numbers. An integer is a whole number, a number that is not a fraction…. not broken. One word that represents the same in the two languages that I speak; that has a moral and philosophical meaning; and that speaks to the universal language of math (I know…I am a geek!)
So here it is Integro. A system of health that aims to remind you of your wholeness; to provide a variety of tools, supported by cutting edge science, with integrity, passion and love; and to honor the journey and remind you that you are not alone but connected. A model of care that helps bring your body, mind and spirit into balance to allow for the expression of the best of you…. the perfect you.
Be empowered to remember your wholeness and restore your perfection.
