Heather McLeod established Integrated Healing in 1998 as a vehicle for providing consulting services in healthcare financing. Her involvement has since extended to other forms of social security.
The web-site has a collection of articles, chapters in books and reports prepared or co-authored by Heather that are in the public domain. Slide presentations used at conferences are also available.
The web-site serves to provide access to resources on a number of topic areas for academics, students and researchers. Topic areas include private health insurance, risk equalisation, healthcare reform and universal coverage. There is a particular focus on National Health Insurance in South Africa.
An increasing focus for Heather's work and research is the integration of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (TM/CAM) in healthcare systems and healthcare financing. There is an introduction to that work on this website with a link to a separate more comprehensive website.
A separate website hosts material dealing with traditional medicine, complementary medicine and the emerging field of integrative medicine.

The Integrated Healing logo has its inspiration in the symbol for balance in Chinese medicine and philosophy: yin and yang: dark and light, feminine and masculine in balance.
This version has three inter-locking and inter-dependant elements, reminiscent of Hindu philosophy. Here they represent not Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, but Body, Mind and Soul.
I subsequently found the similarity to the Gankyil symbol which is a teaching tool of Dzogchen in Tibetan Buddhism.
