About Us
The Malaysia Mind-Body Medicine Practitioners Association (MBMPA) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that aims to promote the integration of mind and body medicine in healthcare and empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being via various types of education and training, research, advocacies and community outreach programmes.
What is Mind-Body Medicine
Mind-body medicine is a complementary approach to healthcare that emphasises the connection between the mind and body in promoting health and treating illness. This approach recognizes that psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual factors can significantly impact physical health and well-being, and seeks to address these factors in conjunction with traditional medical treatments.
Our Vision
Envisions a society where individuals have access to integrated healthcare services that address both physical and mental well-being, leading to a fulfilling and healthy life.
Our Mission
We are committed to promoting the integration of mind and body medicine to healthcare professionals and individuals who are interested in healthcare and wellness. We aim to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge and skills related to mind and body medicine and to support the integration of this approach into the healthcare system in Malaysia. Our mission is to empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being through education, research, and advocacy.
Our Values
Integrative. Evidence-Based. Empowering.
Integrative: MBMPA recognizes the interconnectedness of the mind and body and emphasizes the integration of various approaches to healthcare. We acknowledge that physical health is influenced by psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual factors. Integrative medicine combines conventional medical treatments with complementary and alternative therapies to provide holistic care. As such we adopt this approach and recognize that addressing the whole person, rather than just isolated symptoms or diseases, leads to better health outcomes and overall well-being.
Evidence-based: MBMPA values the use of scientific evidence to guide clinical decision-making and treatment approaches. We emphasise the importance of conducting rigorous research studies to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of interventions. Evidence-based practices are grounded in empirical data, allowing healthcare professionals and Mind-Body Medicine (MBM) practitioners to make informed decisions about which interventions are most likely to benefit patients. By relying on evidence, MBMPA ensures that interventions are credible, reliable, and validated by research.
Empowering: MBMPA recognizes the inherent capacity of individuals to participate in their own healing process. We value the importance of empowering patients to take an active role in their healthcare decisions, promoting self-care practices, and fostering a sense of autonomy and personal responsibility. We acknowledge that individuals are unique and that their experiences, beliefs, and values play a significant role in their healing journey. By empowering patients, MBM Practitioners encourage our clients and patients to explore various self-care techniques, make informed choices, and actively engage in their well-being.
In summary, MBMPA recognizes the interplay between the mind and body and emphasizes the integration of various approaches to healthcare. We value evidence-based practices to ensure credibility and safety. Furthermore, we empower individuals to actively participate in their own healing process, promoting autonomy and personal responsibility. These values contribute to a comprehensive and patient-centred approach to healthcare, focusing on the whole person and supporting overall well-being.
