Bill Manahan, MD, is Assistant Professor Emeritus with the Department of Family

Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota Academic Health

Center in Minneapolis. He is Past-President of the American Holistic Medical

Association and author of the book, Eat for Health. Dr. Manahan co-founded The

Wellness Center of Minnesota (1982-1992), one of America’s first, physician-led,

integrative medicine centers. He was also the Founder and Program Director of

Minnesota’s first Rural Family Medicine Residency Program. Presently, he consults

with physicians and clinics wishing to expand into a more integrative and holistic

practice, and he is working to help make the primary healthcare system more holistic

and more joyful for patients and practitioners.

I have personally and professionally witnessed the importance of a holistic approach in maintaining health and treating illness. This approach includes equal attention to the mind and the spirit as well as the body. As a nurse, I have had extensive training in the traditions of  'Western' medicine; including researching stress and resilience. Recognizing a personal need for a greater understanding of the role the mind and spirit play in healing, I began my study of 'Eastern' practices. In combining traditional 'Western' medicine with the 'Eastern' philosophies, I attempt to honor this balance.

Synegration is a word coined by my son that reflects this philosophy of using  modalities from the 'East' and the 'West' to maximize health and healing. Synegration is the blending of two words; synergy and integration. Synergy is defined as the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements while integrations is defined as an act of combining into an integral whole. These concepts when combined together is something new and powerful.

I offer Reiki to members of the Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center. I also partner with Northgate Chiropractic Clinic and Lilac Wellness Center to offer coaching and energy therapies as a alternative healing and/or wellness option. I do this through Reiki, Chakra clearing and balancing, and meditation coaching. I also offer coaching on techniques to build mindfulness and resilience to reduce stress, anxiety, and burnout.

 These therapies can be used alone or combined with other therapies to bring more energy into the body. The body knows where to best utilize this renewed energy and channels it for that purpose; healing when ill, clearing the mind to see more clearly, and/or revitalizing the spirit.
