Freshwinds Institute of Integrated Medicine, Birmingham (UK) is a progressive institute of education and clinical practice in integrated medicine. It was established in 2000 by Freshwinds Charity to champion learning and development in Integrated Medicine. The Institute emphasises on guiding individuals to achieve a deeper understanding of health and healing, by helping them to put this into practice either by entering into an education and leaning pathway, or at an individual level by facilitating them to take charge of their own well-being. Our underlying philosophy is to recognise the benefits of drawing from both conventional and complementary medicine to enable overall therapeutic benefits and healing process.
