Welcome to Modern Day Hildegard. This is a place where we explore whole person health through the lens of healers across the centuries including, Hildegard Von Bingen.​​

 

Whole person health is the intersection of physical mental and spiritual health. The art of healing and whole person health is largely ignored in our modern western medical communities. Yet a resurgence of interest for taking back power and control of our own health is on the rise. Whole person health and the art of healing has been explored for hundreds of years, but yet much of this wisdom is lost or ignored. ​

 

What does it mean to be whole? What does healing look like? How does the divine provide the perfect plan for healing and health? We will explore these questions and more.  

 

Despite the amazing technological advances we have had in our modern health care system, something seems to be consistently overlooked, perhaps forgotten and potentially lost. 

 

I have spent the last 30 years in the healthcare field. Registered Nursing since the late 90's and advance practice for the last 9 years. The more I learn, the more I realize that our current healthcare system is broken and often contributing to chronic disease.

 

​Those in caring professions, such as nurses, are struggling to find time and space to be "with" people, fully present. Even the basic need of self-care alludes many. This gets diluted in the busyness of life, check-lists and a focus on being task-oriented. 

 

 In healthcare, this is certainly complicated by the demands of best practices, protocols, managed care organizations and systemic financial pressures. ​

 

The mission of Modern Day Hildegard is to remember the art of caring. 

 

Caring for ourselves and others. Let's look to the example of Hildegard von Bingen, among others, to guide us back to the full integration of our whole selves, body, mind and spirit.  

 

Let's reflect back to a time when we actually listened to our bodies, took time for our minds to rest and tended to our spirits through the cultivation of faith. 

 

We hope you find a place of respite, inspiration and hope for something different. Permission to heal, to rest and to become fully who we were created to be. 

 

We endeavor to support a new found sense of peace in each journey to be fully integrated and fully alive.
