In recent years complementary health and wellness have grown in popularity. People used to consider these approaches outside of the mainstream or "alternative"--not part of conventional medical training; but now many patients and health care providers use alternative treatments together with conventional therapies.

Complementary health and wellness provides natural remedies and healthy solutions for your health concerns as well as practical ideas for self-care and prevention.


Course Offerings

Reiki

Reiki Training will create careers and holistic practices for students who complete all Reiki certification courses. Reiki certification adds an additional dimension to all healing modalities. For those who complete all three Reiki certifications, there will be guidance and advice  on how to continue on their own, to start their practices, and to participate in volunteer work that has helped our community for many years.

It is recommended that students complete all three certification courses but a student may join any level as long as they have met the prerequisite requirements and has the instructors and SUNY Ulster’s approval.

Scientific advancements in the understanding of the mechanisms of pain, multidisciplinary methods of assessment and management, the wide array of integrative treatment strategies, and the improvement of medications to treat pain have contributed to the wealth of knowledge in this area.

The outcome of this certificate program is for the learner to describe key elements related to pain assessment and management, especially in specific populations.
