My name is Tracy Shulsinger and I am a Functional Nurse Practitioner and the owner of The Healing Collective Functional & Integrative Medicine. I want to share with you our mission here at the Collective.

The Healing Collective: Our Mission
Tracy Shulsinger • April 3, 2022
PHILOSOPHY:
We believe the body contains infinite healing capabilities. We are devoted to identifying and correcting imbalances so your body’s intelligence can heal—and sustain—a life of optimum wellness.
MISSION STATEMENT:
We offer more than just physical medicine. We support you to be the very best version of yourself. With the latest in evidence-based holistic medicine, we are here to help you thrive using the tools of functional medicine, integrative medicine, movement science, and group classes. We know that it’s difficult to thrive when you’re simply not feeling or performing well. We partner with you to identify what is contributing to disease or illness: we find the root of the issue and guide you through the specific medical & lifestyle treatments you need to reach—and maintain—optimum health. Our greatest satisfaction is in our harmonious partnership with you, where we get to do the work we so love and you get to achieve and even surpass your highest goals for your overall health and wellness.
The Healing Collective is not only referring to a collective of healing practitioners—it also refers to the impact of one person’s healing on the greater collective, which includes their immediate family, their friends, the community in which they live, and even the greater good of the world. When each of us is thriving, our presence in the world is more positively impactful. This then supports the whole collective of life.
I invite you to get to know our dedicated Medical Providers (just click here), each offering a unique and effective clinical perspective on health and wellness that truly empowers you to thrive. One unique aspect about our practitioners is that we are all equipped to address not only physical medicine, but also what is call the bio-psycho-social-spiritual aspects of medical care. For example, our Doctor of Physical Therapist, Jessie Tierney, has extensive training in yoga and yoga therapy; I have trained and practiced as a shamanic practitioner for many years; Dr. Marty Bloch is a skilled homeopathic physician; Janet Crane, PA-C has extensive experience with HeartMath—just to name a few of our areas of expertise. It is a priority of ours to continue our education in order to keep us on the leading edge of healthcare provision.
We are thrilled to be rolling out our Healing Blog, through which we aim to provide important and useful health information from the latest in Physical Therapy, to homeopathic remedies & perspectives, to Functional Medicine wisdom and so much more. Be sure to check back often or subscribe so you receive our updates right in your inbox. Feel free to reply and ask us questions pertaining to health and wellness directly on our blog. We'd love to hear from you.
