History of Whole Life Health Care

Whole Life Health Care,  is an integrative practice that allows a combination of both conventional and complementary  therapies in one location.  We care for patients from birth through geriatrics.

Our goal is to provide quality care and build strong, trusting relationships with each of our patients. 

As the creator and founder of the concept of Whole Life Health Care, Amy Coombs, MS, ARNP felt that healing is 80 percent belief; one must believe in the therapy and trust the provider/s to achieve the ultimate in health. Whole life Health Care is the best of both worlds of eastern and western medicine.

Whole life Health Care began 8 years ago out of an increasing number of patients interested in alternatives to conventional medicine for healing. Knowing that her background was well founded in the conventional approaches to health and well being, she started to learn more about all of the alternative and complementary healing option that would expand her knowledge base to better serve patients. The more she learned the more she realized she could not possibly deliver these therapies as an expert and would need to involve other practitioners in healing patients.

Amy wanted to provide an environment that patients would feel better just walking in the door. As well, the practitioners needed to be highly trained and credentialed but kind. As these thoughts evolved Whole Life Health Care was born. The practitioners that became part of the Whole Life Health Care concept would work under one roof communicating about how best to serve each person.

Amy believes WLHC has achieved those goals over the past 8 years. The providers at Whole Life Health Care trust and support each other in there perspective practices. Understanding what each does and how it may help/heal our patients. Communication is the key to optimizing a patients health and providers have the option to share information daily if need be to maximize the healing process. Since it is different for each person, a patient may see one or five providers to gain an optimal level of balance. Therefore an individual care plan is set up for patients that come to Whole Life Health Care, with the patient very much a part of that process.

As the concept of integrative medicine evolved so did our space requirements. As we grew, we felt services offered five days a week would help patients gain better access to care, so it was decided to look for a space that could complete the mission and vision of Whole Life Health Care. We then began the search for a new space. We have always liked the energy that the Beane Farm provided with its unique “Barn Like” architecture and the age of the building.

We were able to become involved with the deRochemont House which gave us the historic energy and architecture we have had in the past. We then needed to add on to the original building to give the space required to meet the concepts need. We were fortunate to be working with John Merkle, historic architect, marrying the old and the new styles in a flow of space that worked.

With the expansion of current services (acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, primary care, psychotherapy, physical therapy and nutrition) we have added several new services (ayervedic, reiki, homeopathic, doula services, and wellness). We are excited for the future of Whole Life Health Care with our ability to provide you with what you need to balance mind, body and spirit

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide comprehensive, cost-effective, and quality health care. We strongly encourage a good provider/patient relationship, because familiarity with our patients enhances the quality of care we can provide. Knowing our patients well allows us to know when to refer to another specialty and to whom.
