Throughout history, intuitive evaluations of the physical body and energy field have played a pivotal role in supporting health and wellness. Ancient mystics, seers, and cultural traditions worldwide have honored the power of “gut feelings.” Even today, though rarely discussed openly, many medical professionals recognize and rely on their intuition as a valuable tool in patient care.

Medical intuition is an evolving practice that focuses on the intuitive observation and assessment of the physical body and biofield (including the aura and chakra system) to promote holistic health in body, mind, and spirit. This method is increasingly recognized in the fields of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and complementary and integrative health (CIH).

In 2005, the Institute of Medicine in Washington, D.C., included medical intuition in its report on the use of complementary and alternative medicine by the American public. This report described medical intuition as the application of focused, intuitive instinct to “read” or “diagnose” energetic and frequency information in and around the human body.

As a standalone practice, medical intuition offers a unique and unbiased perspective that complements traditional healthcare approaches. By expanding our understanding of a patient’s condition, it provides insights unencumbered by the limitations of any single modality. Medical intuitive assessments empower healthcare providers to explore all potential pathways to healing, making it a valuable tool in modern medicine.

Certified medical intuitives integrate seamlessly into healthcare settings, offering insights that can inform and enhance patient care. While the term “medical” is part of its name, medical intuition is not a substitute for licensed medical, psychotherapy, or other healthcare practices. Instead, it serves as a complementary approach that supports whole-person healing.
