July 22, 2012Footer text here4Ten weeks ago we found ourselves with a google drive folder; in it was a time clock correction sheet, weekly accomplishment sheet, and an orientation to-do packet. Our internship was a mystery. What seemed to be a shroud of confusion was lifted when Kevin informeduswe would be creating a new business from scratch with zero capital (except our extremely valuable Kaplan Consulting intern staff), and an open direction within Health & Wellness. After a few meetings and brainstorming we came up with a virtual non-profit business concept called the Happy Health Hub.Our target audience was determined to be the Kaplan Family, and services to provide them with were to be developed as resources and education for holistic life improvement.

CIH Modality Information

What was once the norm, became alternative, and now the archetype for health care has been redefined once more; Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) addresses modalities beyond allopathic medicine, which, when woven together offers a holistic balance to life. Providing the KU family with the most current and innovative tools to improve themselves and their loved ones, was important to us.

AyurvedaBiofeedbackChiHerbalismAromatherapyFlower Essence TherapyReikiMassageMeditationTai ChiIridologyAcupunctureChiropracticReflexologyHomeopathy Osteopathy


Author (A) - The philosophy that alternative medicine is built upon, believes that our bodies are remarkably resilient machines, capable, with some occasional prodding or intervention, of healing themselves. The name "holistic medicine" came from this unification of the mind and the body. Holistic practitioners treat the "whole person" as opposed to the individual organs of the body where symptoms occur. The importance of self care and preventing illness are stressed by holistic practitioners. The integration of alternative medicine and holistic approaches encompases all aspects of what is definitively health and wellness, providing a platform for each individual to instill balance in their lives. The benefits of CIH can palpate the Kaplan family on the most personal levels, in their homes, personal lives, finances, as well as aplomb health care access and options.July 22, 2012Footer text here15AROMATHERAPYWhat is Aromatherapy?In very simple terms, aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of pure essential oils to improve the health and balance of the skin, the body, the mind, and the soul. The documented use of essential oils goes back to Egyptian times when they were used for embalming purposes.What are Essential Oils? An essential oil is an aromatic liquid which is extracted from certain species of flowers, grasses, fruits, leaves, roots, and trees. If you squeeze these lavender heads or peppermint leaves and smell your fingers, the aroma is the result of volatile oils released by the bursting of tiny glands in the flower heads and leaves. Each essential oil has a healing profile, comprised of several characteristics, that is unique to itself. Almost all essential oils are antiseptic, and others have strong antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, or antispasmodic properties. Some are calming, while others are stimulating.Why use Aromatherapy?One of the most satisfactory aspects of using essential oils medicinally and cosmetically is that they enter and leave the body with great efficiency, leaving no toxins behind. Unlike chemical drugs, essential oils do not, as far as we know, remain in the body. They are excreted through urine and feces, perspiration, and exhalation.Natural oils do not cause side effects when used properly. Essential oils have the power to relax the nervous system, stimulate circulation, lift depression, reduce inflammation, and ease aches and pains. They can balance the emotions by establishing harmony between the mind and body and lifting the conscious mind to its higher self. Oils can also penetrate the skins surface and their benefits for the skin are profound. Essential oils can revitalize and rejuvenate skin of all ages and are especially helpful for skin problems such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, scars, and even some skin cancers.How does a practitioner use Aromatherapy in a session?There are many ways to use essential oils to benefit the body. Just one oil may be used to treat a specific issue, or a custom blend may be prepared based on the clients needs. This may be done with direct inhalation, massage oil, a bath, or a compress. Essential oils are almost always diluted in a carrier oil base, since the absolute oil is so potent.

Author (A) - sample, doesn't need to be read, too lengthyWhat is Herbal Medicine?Many nutrients can be found in the herbs and weeds that grow around us. Herbalism or Herbal medicine is the practice of using these plants to heal the body.Since the dawn of recorded history, plants have been the primary source of medicine for people throughout the world. In fact, many cultures still use plants as a major source of medicine today. Plants which are used as medicines have been referred to as herbs for over 4,000 years. The word herb is used to refer to any part of any plant used for flavoring or medicine. Thus an herb may be a bark, a flower, a fruit, a leaf or a root, as well as a non-woody plant.The knowledge and use of herbs was commonplace in pre-industrial times. However, with industrialization and the movement of people from the countryside to cities, knowledge of herbs faded. This knowledge has been accumulating for centuries. The earliest records of the use of beneficial plants are nearly 5,000 years old, in a Chinese Pharmacopoeia. At the turn of the century, doctors were still semi-herbalists, employing a large variety of plants and often making their own preparations. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that herbalism came under scrutiny of modern science. Active constituents were isolated from herbs and their structure was duplicated synthetically; giving us our modern day medicine.Health is a slow cumulative process built up each day from our daily habits. Rather than being just the absence of illness and injury, it is the condition of physical, spiritual, and social well being. Herbs can help us attain this goal of well being.What does an Herbalist do?An Herbalist studies the healing properties of herbs and the science of using these herbs to prepare medicine. The herbs may be taken in many forms, such as: capsules, liquid extracts, fomentations, teas, and syrups. The Herbalist is a trained professional that will work with you to determine the best herb(s) for your needs, as well as how and when to take them.


HERBAL THERAPY

Author (A) - sample, doesn't need to be read, too lengthyRoad to Happiness

When stress manifests...allow happiness to happen! Stressors compromise the lengths of our telomeres, etching deep into our personal cytokinesis and aging our cells, thus shortening our lives. The effects are genetically and emotionally nepotistic (Umea University, 2011). The Road to Happiness provides insight to remediate these personal and, oh, so common challenges, and offer a complementary and integrative arsenal of defense against the seemingly ineluctable pressures of life.

Author (A) - need additional notes????Ask an Intern

This is a forum for the Kaplan family to reach out and ask specific questions regarding health and wellness. HHH will utilize the most up to date, scientific, peer reviewed public information available with a formulated conjoining of our research savvy health and wellness interns to develop conclusions to these inquiries. The responses will be shared, not only with the inquirer, but also discussed through Mindful Moments, the HHH webpage, and other channeled social media platforms as a chance to connect with our audience with similar questions and concerns. As we expand and grow, we will incorporate the new and intuitive facets, as approved by KU and the Legal Team where applicable..


Author (A) - The vision of this forum was built on creating a personal connection to our audience and provide information on the questions and subject matter they seek. Furthermore, the second part of this vision was to provide an additional opportunity for health and wellness students of KU to practice and apply critical scientific research skills in a real world setting, further expanding the opportunity for intern/externship for these speciazlized students.Find a Practitioner

This is an up and coming geographic specific zip code based search engine, custom built for HHH by KapConsulting, LLC that will expeditiously provide search results for CIH practitioners in specific zip code-regions, as publically listed and available. This will allow the HHH staff to better accommodate the Kaplan family with the community based care they are eligible for as well as expand the areas of therapy and benefits beyond available current standards and accessibility, with a more personalized connection.*please note: these are not recommendations, but rather publically available listing of practitioners


Author (A) - This unique facet of HHH will be an invaluable resource for the KU family whom wish to locate practitioners in their geographical area with a wide range of modalities to explore their avenue of chosen health and wellness. The information gathered was obtained through public records as found by the talented KapConsulting team, as they explored the lengthy listing of zip codes for each student-current and graduated.Financial Wellness

We cant solve income inequality; but we can provide practical information, resource, and findings, geared toward individuals and families who suffer from financial insecurity. Financial stress can be caused by excessive debt (student loans), job loss/reduction in hours, uncertain future, fixed income, unplanned/unforeseen events (divorce, theft, etc.), and other factors.


Author (A) - Health disparities among low-income Americans: Those making less than $24,000 per year suffer from much lower emotional and physical health, have poorer health habits, and have significantly less access to medical care -- all of which combine to drag down their overall Well-Being Index score. The Well-Being Index reveals that low-income Americans face more emotional and physical health problems, engage in fewer healthy behaviors, and have less access to basic medical care. (Mendes, 2010) http://www.gallup.com/poll/143696/health-disparities-across-incomes-wide-ranging.aspx Health issues related to financial insecurity lead to missed work, further exacerbating the burden. We are dedicated to bring the KU family professional findings from verifiable public research resources to help overcome those burdens and relieve some of that stress.Body BlissTo be released in the near future! Body Bliss will offer the unification of an educated nutrition plan with mindful physical activity including workout plans, along with dietary analyses and tools to be made available to fulfill healthcare goals.

Meg Pugh


My last formal college credit was earned while attending middle college, a program where high school upperclassmen attend community college in lieu of high school- I was seventeen. Now, 23 years later, I have missed the challenges of higher learning, and understand the importance of continuing education. Thankfully, opportunities such as this internship are available to streamline my college learning and allocate credit for actual life experiences.

My aspirations to attend a university right out of high school drastically shifted when I found a passion for the sport of snowboarding. That winter, so long ago, in Tahoe became the framework for my future. I was hired at Boreal Ski Area, selling tickets. Since then, I have worked as a lift operator, in fine dining, as a pantry chef, swim instructor, sandwich maker, baker, cashier, hotel front desk and night auditor, bartender, terrain park maintenance, Woodward@ Copper coach, model, snowboard clothing designer, construction worker, housekeeper, professional snowboarder (XGames, 3rd World Championships, National Champion, Dew Tour, Grand Prix), started a coaching and snowboard management company, built websites, internet marketing and promotion, hosted coaching events across the US, snowboard coach, and finally a college student again! I can honestly say this experience has been the most fulfilling yet, thank you everyone :)

How has this experience inspired you and added value to your education? I came to Kaplan, not looking for a degree per se, but to gain an education, experiences, and respect. Choosing a degree program was a matter of upholding the best interests for humanity, naturally an interest in health sciences, specifically health and wellness, surfaced as the coveted choice. A past in competitive sports, now coupled with the desire to learn, has happily/blissfully led me to KapCon (Kevin) where the internship program, in conjunction with MT490 (Dr.D), has not only changed my perspective and my tenacity, but also changed my life. I went from Dedication, Perseverance, Confidence to Entrepreneur, Instigator, and Leader. July 22, 2012Footer text here32

Geneva McCloud

My name is Geneva McCloud and I reside in the metropolitan area of Detroit, Michigan, with my son. I have always taken an interest in healthy living. I began, my career at Kaplan University at the age of 44 after attending numerous semesters at community college. I had no real direction, no real clue which road to take. After many years, I began seeking answers from a higher power, which guided me in the path of health and wellness. I began sharing my knowledge with family, friends and coworkers. They embraced my message, and now I am known around the office, as Ms. Fitness. I take complete pride, sharing methods of self- healing practices, while being engaged in many of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Practices.My experience with the internship and course MT-490 afforded me the opportunity to continue to strive for excellence while adapting to change. After graduation, I will obtain a Health and Wellness Coordinator certification in addition to a fitness trainer certification. The journey has just begun; next comes my Masters in Public health.July 22, 2012Footer text here34

How has this experience inspired you and added value to your education? When I was invited to the Internship meet and greet, it sounded like a great networking opportunity. I was nervous, but brought to the table my willingness to help and the team and I shared our skills and knowledge, which led to the progression of the Happy Health Hub. I was not aware of the level of commitment involved. However, as I continued to connect with the team, I found myself utilizing skills to create, implement, and promote health and wellness. I came to the realization, this internship would require an optimistic approach with an undefeated perspective. I began to exploit the skills I had been taught here at Kaplan University, which included mindfulness meditation techniques in addition to including physical exercise to relieve the stressors that had made attempts to impede my progress. I realized such practices would be instrumental in an effortless approach to optimal health within the Health and Wellness division of KapConsulting. I discern that transformation principles apply to work, life and school. I have been inspired by this program and infer there are endless possibilities to enhance learning and growth in all areas of my life. Throughout this experience, my critical and quantum thinking has been elevated. In addition to improved time management skills. I have evolved, throughout this internship and while studying the course MT-490. I realize gainful experience, attributes to continuous learning. In this world, things are forever changing, and that we must all adapt to change and welcome it as a beautiful thing. I have brought my mind, soul and passion to this program and will be forever grateful for the experience. We must all share our knowledge, and remain engaged in an effort to put theory to practice. I stand by the quote, from Leonardo Da Vinci: There is a greater story here, and its still being written.July 22, 2012Footer text here35


Jessica Zeba-Snow

I am a single mom of 4 little girls, who I homeschool in the beautiful Green Mountains of Northern Vermont. My children and I live for farming, hiking, mountain biking, and trail running. We live with a jubilant freedom and passion every day that we spread throughout our community.I am in my final year, here at KU, pursuing my BS in Nutrition Science. I currently hold a Diploma as a Holistic Health Practitioner with a focus in Iridology Analysis and Clinical Herbalism. I am looking forward to continuing my education in Neuroscience and Naturopathic Medicine with a focus in diagnostic research. I have had an established private practice as an HHP in my area for over 9 years, as well as an associated medicinal herbal product company.


How has this experience inspired you and added value to your education? I have been a self-made entrepreneur for over 9 years, but have been limited to juggling all of the aspects and responsibilities that relate to a business, alone. The economic and financial restraints of limited resources to insource or outsource tasks and duties, as well as geographical restraints in my area that are not able to offer much diversity in services or partnerships to be pursued, had it even been a viable option economically. The virtual team experience has been invaluable to me personally in my growth as an entrepreneur and professional. I am able to not only envision the ability to rejuvenate and expand my current business, but I am also confident moving forward with future endeavors to improve the field of health through the business networking that has been established through my experience here at KapConsulting and working with the establishment of Happy Health Hub.



How has HHH and MT490 has added value to our education?This experience has provided a unique opportunity to apply our education, and more specifically an opportunity to explore endeavors within our field of study and passions for health and wellness, to a real world application while being mentored by seasoned experts and supportive staff to facilitate our needs and requests to implement business initiatives. Studying alone allows for the important concepts to be ingested. When learning is brought into a virtual community, the knowledge takes a quantum dimension as theories are easily put into practice and the reciprocate. With the addition of team work and group problem solving element, new ideas are welcomed and novel solutions and innovations are developed.
