Body, Mind, Soul

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.

Features of the site

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.
