Guest Info
An expert in holistic, skillful living, Michael Finkelstein, M.D., has gained acclaim for his pioneering approach to integrative medicine since beginning his private practice more than twenty years ago. Board-certified in both internal medicine and holistic medicine, a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and a graduate of the Associate Fellowship Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona School of Medicine, Dr. Finkelstein is a self-professed “Doctor of Common Sense.” He is a dedicated healer who views health and well-being as a wholly singular unit, one that must be taken seriously, and considered with compassion, intention and commitment. Dr. Finkelstein’s concept of “skillful living” applies this holistic approach to overall well-being – the business of living must be developed, like a skill, with mindful, dedicated attention.
Dr. Finkelstein’s approach to health is consultative and instructive, not prescriptive. While he believes you can transcend health issues with life change, there is no holistic “power combo” that works for everyone, and results are proportional to the work and mindfulness dedicated to the individual’s efforts. Dr. Finkelstein encourages his patients to examine their lives as a whole and to meet each obstacle – whether health-related, financial or relationship-based – as an opportunity for introspection, personal growth and improvement, emphasizing the significance of taking control of your own life. His deeply rooted belief that everyone has an inner potential for greater health is the foundation on which he now bases his practice.
Dr. Finkelstein is the founder and director of the holistic healing and living center SunRaven, a Westchester-county destination for anyone looking to take control of their own health and happiness. Through personal consultation, special programs and activities, like book readings and group juice fasts, SunRaven is a healing space that offers classes and workshops to provide individuals with the skills to make better choices and move toward a greater, more whole, state of health and well-being. Formerly serving as Chief of Integrative Medicine at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt. Kisco, N.Y., Dr. Finkelstein’s skillful living approach continues to help patients lead healthier, happier and more balanced lives.
