4wholeness.com Bridges the Gap Between Traditional and Holistic Breast Cancer Care

    BERWYN, PA, March 15, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- These days, there is a wide swath of online information readily available regarding treatment of and recovery from breast cancer. Finding a website that targets overall health and healing of the mind, body, and spirit is a challenging task for breast cancer patients, survivors, and the people closest to them. Finding doctors and other healthcare professionals who offer expertise grounded in an integrative approach of both holistic and allopathic medicine is an even more daunting search. At last, a website that joins these two audiences as one vibrant community is available: www.4wholeness.com.

With an initial focus on breast cancer, 4wholeness.com empowers women to gain the knowledge and connections they need on their journey to health and wholeness. The website's vast resources and tools include: open discussion forums; secure online support groups; informational articles ranging from exercise and nutrition to reconstructive surgery and survivor stories; a community calendar of related lectures and events; an internal "find a practitioner" search engine; and so much more.

Member registration at the site is free. All 4wholeness.com community members can create a personal profile, connect with other members, and send messages to each other. Founder Susan Hunter is a longtime advocate of integrative and holistic therapies. She believes that "A woman may have cancer of the breast, but she needs care for her whole body and being. 4wholeness.com is a unique online community that connects women with both traditional providers and holistic practitioners."

Qualifying practitioners can also register with the website. Once approved, each healthcare provider maintains a searchable profile page available to all 4wholeness.com community members. These profiles can include articles, blog posts, videos, and other content either authored or contributed by the practitioners. The ability to create a compelling online presence that widens outreach to a larger patient community is a distinct opportunity for healthcare professionals. 4wholeness.com partners with those practitioners who truly believe in an integrative approach to the spectrum of women's breast cancer issues.

Launched in October 2011, 4wholeness.com is a boutique website at the crossroads of holistic and allopathic medicine that supports an integrative approach to breast cancer care, not one or the other. Currently the community at large consists of women with breast cancer, breast cancer survivors, their loved ones, and caregivers. The website was established to empower women with information and education that offers them choices as they journey to wellness. 4wholeness.com goes beyond the universal goal of being cancer-free - it's about being a healthy, whole, authentic person. It's also about life and living. To join the growing online community or apply to be a participating practitioner, please visit www.4wholeness.com.
