Arlington Institute Welcomes Guest Speaker Janice Polansky with A New Perspective on Health & Wellness
Janice will share from her 30 plus years of experience in wholistic health how she has changed the focus of healthcare from identifying and treating symptoms of disease to creating health and well-being where individuals thrive with energy, resilience and vitality in creating lives they love living filled with meaning and purpose. In focusing on bringing her concepts and trainings to both healthcare practitioners, parents, and individuals with health concerns, Janice has ignited a momentum of empowering leaders to influence and impact their families, community and the entire health care system.
Janice attributes her unique views and understanding of health to her own personal journey and life experiences. Faced with choices when she completed her BS in Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon of going to medical school or into Computer Systems and Electrical Engineering, Jan chose to further develop her critical thinking and analytical skills to learn how to view and solve problems from a systems perspective which focuses on how parts work together in creating the functioning of a complex system and how to optimize functioning of each segment as well as the entire system.
Jan applied her education initially in her work as an agent of change in consulting and computer systems in business then extended this in addressing her own and her parents’ health challenges. This led Jan to return to health care with a focus on healing through the lens of improving the function of an area of the body where disease was identified, addressing the key underlying factors contributing to the development of a disease, and optimizing how the entire body functions at optimal levels: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Over her 30 years in working with clients and providing educational programs, Jan continued to expand her knowledge and skills in evaluating the cause of what was labelled as disease conditions as well as effective therapies and treatments which supported the body’s natural ability to heal by regaining balance, homeostasis, and optimal functioning. Jan learned that regaining health was insufficient motivation for individuals to heal. Having a meaningful purpose for their lives provided motivation, and by increasing their self-esteem and sense of deserving and forgiveness of and compassion for others and themselves, individuals moved from disease and being victims of their life experiences to co-creators of their lives.
Janice has impacted health care by educating health care practitioners to be able to view health thru a broader lens, with both a systems perspective as well as develop a deeper understanding in their area of expertise within more specific areas. In developing new leaders who collaborate in seeing how to improve health, Jan has empowered health care to move from an allopathic model based solo areas of focus and expertise which use surgery and pharmaceuticals to an encompassing approach which honors the wisdom of natural remedies and healing techniques of our ancestors as well as effective use of new developments in addressing imbalances and optimizing the ability to function at optimal levels of health and well-being.
Join us for a day of thought provoking and enlightening discussion of a new perspective of health and healthcare as Janice shares her perspective and experiences at our Transition Talks Speaker Series for transforming our worldview of wellness, consciousness, and the future through provocative insights and conversations.
