Introducing Jill’s List – Your Online Guide to Complementary & Alternative Medicine
Do you have a great acupuncturist? A yoga instructor that spins you head over heels? Do you love your Shiatsu massage therapist? I have found some tremendous Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practitioners over the past five years and the work that I have done with each of them has had significant positive impact on my overall health. I’ll tell you about these experiences along the way, but today, as we launch the blog for Jill’s List I want to tell you a little bit about our plans for the Jill’s List website and encourage you to Share the Health!
The impetus for Jill’s List came from years of discussions with people about “where to find a good __________” (fill in the blank – acupuncturist, chiropractor, massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, etc). I have many friends and family members who spend time researching the “right” practitioner to help them treat a given illness or condition or simply to help them live healthier lives. As a result of their research (and my own), I have met and worked with some fantastic practitioners, and soon, with the launch of the Jill’s List website I will be able to easily share with you their names – as well as my recommendations for particular treatments. Likewise, you will be able to log on and share your experiences and recommend your favorite practitioners and therapies.
And so… Jill’s List… a place to share knowledge about living and staying healthy in a way that helps spread the word about Comprehensive Medicine (Traditional Medicine + the best of Complementary and Alternative Medicine.) It will be a place to share ideas, recommend practitioners and explore new disciplines and treatment methodologies. My hope is that over time we build a platform that becomes a key resource in connecting patients with practitioners who offer an array of treatment options as well as helping Traditional and CAM practitioners collaborate more effectively.
This blog is the first step. We will launch our website in beta form in August and we want you to be a part of it. You can start now by sending us recommendations for practitioners who should be included on Jill’s List and we will email you as soon as the website is ready so that you can rate and review them. Also, send us your recommendations for treatments that have worked for you.
We are excited to have you involved in Jill’s List. It will get better with every person who participates! Please sign up for updates by subscribing to the blog and if you have a minute, take our latest survey. We will publish the results weekly. More to come soon and until then…
Share the Health!
