Mission

The mission of the Florida Institute of Complementary and Alternative Medicine is to empower students with the knowledge and tools for personal healing at all five levels of consciousness/existence. We teach our students the art of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (C.A.M.) to embark upon a journey that will begin in their spirit, transcend to their minds and emotions to then impact their bodies for positive healing experiences. Once this personal experience has ensued, we teach students to utilize their training and to share their knowledge and expertise with others who are seeking another way to feel balanced, healthy, happy and free. Complementary and Alternative Medicine begins with one’s self actualization and extends beyond oneself to positively enhance the lives of others.

The unique proposal of FICAM is:

1.  To integrate the different workable modalities of Complementary and Alternative Medicine-Quantum Psychology, Hypnotherapy, NLP, Bioenergetics, Choice Theory, Hellinger Constellations, Formative Psychology, Embodiment, Reiki, Purifying Breath work, shamanism, meditation, yoga, ayurveda and other alternative practices to provide a comprehensive model for healing and personal growth in each of the five levels of human consciousness – spirit, mind, emotion, body/unconscious mind, and transpersonal – to support and enhance conventional medicine while providing alternative treatments that address the holistic nature of a person and their relationships in the world.

2.  To utilize our integrated model to be a source of innovations in illness prevention, more effective education, greater productivity and creativity, as well as more satisfying relationships.  To help correct the symptoms of child and adult inattentiveness, frustration, unhappiness, distress, anxiety, confusion and co-dependence, without unwarranted mediations or intrusive medical procedures.

3.  To fill the void for internships and supervision in this growing field, while raising the standard and effectiveness of C.A.M. practitioners to better serve the interest of the public.

4.  To research and help develop the science of C.A.M. to enable it to play a vital role in enhancing the health and individual responsibility of our citizens to take control of their health-related decision making through prevention, and not be the victims of a sick-care oriented, medically dominated healthcare system.

Florida Institute of Complementary and Alternative Medicine was founded on the belief that personal success and self-improvement can be achieved through interaction between students, faculty, staff, and mentors. To this end, leading professionals from the C.A.M. field will partake in the growth and development of the training and supervision of FICAM students and graduates.
