Americans are spending over $30 billion a year on nontraditional medicine - yoga, meditation, acupuncture - according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. During the past three decades, Vickii Engel has had a front row seat to this growing acceptance and use of what would have once been called alternative medicine but is now referred to as integrative, or complementary, medicine.
Vickii is the owner and co-founder of the Center for Healing Arts, which was established in 1987 and is located in Westminster, MD. She is also the author of the book, Creating Calm: 3 Powerful Models for Navigating the Rough Seas of Midlife.
