Listen to Lissa Rankin, MD share the intent & objectives of the Whole Health Medicine Institute.
What Is
Whole Health Medicine?
Whole Health requires bringing all the tools in the medicine boxes of all departments and cultures together, and doing so with respect, reverence, and regard for the sacred medicines of all physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic healing modalities.
Whole Health asks us to end the fragmentation that divides healing into different academic silos, where “never the twain shall meet.”
Whole Health invites unification of all of the aspects of what makes us whole as human beings, encompassing our:
- Mind, body, spirit, and energy
- Relationships
-
Works
-
Creativity
-
Sexuality
-
Living environments
- And all other aspects of what makes us authentically expressed, integrated humans.
- Body Focus: doctors, nutrition coaches, fitness instructors, bodyworkers, herbalists, naturopaths, chiropractors
- Mind Focus: psychologists, psychiatrists, life coaches
- Spirt Focus: priests, rabbis, gurus, spiritual teachers, chaplains
For example, body-focused practitioners tend to focus on traditional healthy behaviors, such as conventional medical approaches, diet, exercise, physical adjustments, or herbs and supplements, while neglecting psycho-spiritual and energetic root causes and treatments.
The Whole Health Medicine Institute seeks to fill in the gaps. We specialize in educating body-oriented practitioners who have insufficiently educated in mental, emotional, spiritual, and trauma healing modalities that may help cure otherwise “incurable,” “untreatable,” or “terminal” conditions.

The Whole Health
Medicine Institute
Our mission at Whole Health Medicine Institute is to reintroduce an understanding and practice of the psychospiritual dimension into the healing process.
The WHMI exists to pick up where mainstream health modalities are failing. That is in deepening the knowledge and understanding of the extensive power and profound impact of practicing psychospiritual transformation as an intentional and expertly integrated piece of the healing process.
WHMI brings a deep and direct understanding of the body-mind-spirit continuum to physicians, nurses, health experts, and health care providers. We believe that this understanding is critical for complete and sustained healing and growth, and necessary to reveal the untapped resources and potential of your body.
Our courses, workshops, and training are designed to help you understand and apply a Whole Body Medicine approach in your life and in your practice.
We support practitioners in building a thriving healing practice as we believe this is necessary to provide the material and organizational resources needed to accelerate the reintegration of psychospiritual work into the healing process and the health care industry.

Bridging between seemingly disparate worlds, Lissa is a connector, collaborator, curator, and amplifier, broadcasting not only her unique visionary ideas, but also those of cutting edge visionaries she discerns and trusts, especially in the field of her latest research into “Sacred Medicine.”
In 2012, Lissa founded the Whole Health Medicine Institute, where she and a team of luminary faculty train physicians and other health care providers about “Whole Health” and the “6 Steps to Healing Yourself.” Lissa has starred in two National Public Television specials, her TEDx talks have been viewed over 4 million times, and she leads workshops, both online and at retreat centers like Esalen, 1440, Omega, and Kripalu.

The Three Pillars of Whole Health Medicine Institute Curriculum
Heal the Healer
Core Master Programs
Business Development
We can help others heal and heal our health care system. But to be effective healers, we must heal ourselves first. The Healer aspect of WHMI is one of the most radically transformational aspects of the program. You will be asked to dive into your own psycho-spiritual healing journey because we can’t effectively heal others if we are operating from our own wounds.
We want you to successfully integrate your insights and understanding into the professional world and as part of the program, we help you develop a visionary and successful business by helping you translate your new knowledge, awareness, and tools into a practical, grounded, thriving business that actually pays the bills and allows you to bring your unique contributions into a world in need of your gifts.

What Do The Whole Health Medicine Institute Programs Include?

I knew the health system was broken and that I was broken within it.
Something I could not have dreamed of before I began this healing journey and perspective shift.
Lissa helps you understand that we are not broken, just not integrating our wholeness, and she teaches us how.
Kay Corpus, MD
The Whole Health Medicine Institute came into my life at just the right moment. I felt the familiar pressures in my medical practice... It was exhausting.
No place have I found such an innovative and intuitively designed program.
I am forever grateful to Lissa and the WHMI for breaking open my heart and mind to possibility.

I have found new meaning in my work, and the world of medicine as I used to know it is forever changed!

This journey is not for the faint of heart, but ask yourself – “Am I more afraid of realizing my true potential or am I more afraid of staying stuck in a position not aligned with my inner purpose”?
I invite you to go inward and ask the question that may ignite your life!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I contact customer service at Whole Health Medicine Institute?
Please contact us by sending an email to pearl@lissarankin.com
I’m looking to expand my education and potentially start a practice outside the insurance-based system. How should I decide what to do?
If you are looking to study a specific healing modality or body-oriented practice then there are many highly recommended schools that provide this type of focused study.
If you are seeking to understand and practice the psychological and spiritual healing and transformation that is the critical element across all practices – whether they are allopathic, integrative, or alternative – then WHMI is for you. WHMI training focuses very specifically on root cause work and personal transformation
Which should I choose, the Immersion Curriculum or the Virtual Curriculum?
The in-person retreats associated with the Immersion Curriculum are a powerful opportunity to accelerate your personal and professional growth, but it is a personal inquiry as to whether it works for your schedule, the depth with which you want to explore this new way of approaching health care, and your finances.
How much of a time commitment will this be? Will this interfere with my full-time job, the attention I give my children and my partner, or my self-care?
Whether you are a busy professional, in transition, ready to restart, the program is designed to adjust to your professional needs and availability. You are able to choose all modules or just the areas you want to focus on. Here some examples of different intentions.
For Self-healing:
Estimated number of hours invested: 65 hours (2.5 hours per week over 6 months)
For a career-boost:
Estimated number of hours invested: 105 hours (3.75 hours per week over 6 months)
As a fast-track to revenue:
Estimated number of hours invested: 145 hours (5.25 hours per week over 6 months)
What if I can only come to one of the retreats?
If there’s uncertainty around whether you’ll be available, write to Pearl@LissaRankin.com and explain your situation. This can be discussed on a case by case basis.
Can I make up a retreat if I miss one?
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
Why did you decide to extend the WHMI program to providers who are not licensed medical professionals?
We feel there are many accomplished health care providers outside the medical establishment who will benefit from the work we do.
We take great care in vetting participants to maintain the integrity of patient care, professional mastery, and ethics.
What inspires people to sign up for this program?
People enroll in WHMI for different reasons, including
- Wanting to stay on the cutting edge of how best to help patients and clients heal in a Whole Health-informed way.
