Journey to the new frontier of health and well-being.
Our Areas of Expertise
-
TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE
Apply the Whole Health System to your practice or healthcare system, as modeled by the Department of Veterans Affairs and detailed by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. We develop tailored implementation strategies that leverage this innovative approach to transform your healthcare setting.
-
WHOLE HEALTH EDUCATION
Design whole health education for clinicians, coaches, peers, and the public. We develop comprehensive whole health education strategies, workshops and courses for diverse audiences: 1) Clinicians, equipping them with tools to integrate this approach into their practice; 2) Coaches and peers, empowering them to facilitate whole health conversations within and beyond the healthcare system; and 3) The public, providing the opportunity to engage directly with this transformative approach.
-
COMMUNITY HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Reimagine how communities achieve health and well-being. A person's health is often shaped more by their zip code than by their healthcare team. We collaborate with communities and community organizations to design whole health models that reflect and prioritize what matters most to them.
-

Develop strategies to foster and sustain the health and well-being of your team. We design whole health models customized for various organizations, aiming to transform and enhance the employee health and well-being.

Dr. Amanda Hull is a clinical psychologist with over a decade of leadership in whole health, focusing on whole health implementation, whole health education, and the evaluation of the whole health approach. Most recently, Amanda provided consultative services to TechWerks, helping strategically scale the whole health education efforts within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Previously, she helped establish the Cornerstone Collaboration for Societal Change, a non-profit focused on system change to transform the health and well-being of the nation. Previous to these roles, she was a Senior Director for the Whole Health Institute, where she provided vision, direction and leadership for the Whole Health Experience and Education Department.

Amanda joined the national VA whole health effort after her tenure as the Integrative Health and Wellness (IHW) Program Director and the Patient Centered Care Service Chief at the Washington DC VA Medical Center where she established, developed and implemented whole health programming across the medical center, which became a national model for whole health implementation across the VA.
