Integrated Awareness may be an appropriate complement to conventional medicine and other conventional therapies, but it is not a replacement for them. If you have or believe you may have a medical condition, we recommend that you first seek the advice of a qualified medical professional.

The hands-on and movement processes, the guidance into expanded perceptual states and the enhanced response capacities associated with our work are learning experiences and not medical procedures. Integrated Awareness is a set of avocational and spiritual skills. Mark Fourman and all of his assistants are teachers and they do not intend to, nor do they, practice or operate within a medical model. The changes and personal growth that students encompass as a result of their studies with us are initiated by the students and are a result of the information and recognitions mirrored back to them by their teachers.

Your decision to learn through our work should be made in consultation with your conventional health care providers. We recommend that you keep your primary health care provider and other providers informed about your work with us, so that they can ensure you have a comprehensive and inclusive treatment plan.
