Integrated Healing Dynamics, Inc. (IHD) was created in June 2006 through personal inspiration. The significance of the company name actually came at a later date. On her travels to Egypt in April 2008 to participate with a Mystery Tour, the significance and meaning of the company name was revealed to Dr. Schwartz.

First the symbol IHD, means God in Ancient Arabic. While in the Gaza pyramid during a ceremony, in the King’s Chamber, Joan Schwartz, Ph.D. and the tour group were singing with their eyes closed. Beautiful music was being sung that was not of the group. Pulling away to hear more caused Joan to lose her balance and to open her eyes in reaction. There on the wall appeared the figures; a big brown bear, an Indian shaman, some rattles and a picture of the unfinished bust of Queen Nefertiti. After the ceremony was over the group leader was asked if she saw these same symbols. She had not, but continued to share that this was for Joan’s understanding only and that it had something to do with her mission in life. 

Later, after learning that the ancient healing practices taught by the native Americans and the Egyptians were much the same, the understanding of the name Integrated Healing Dynamics became clear.

The Integrated Healing Method involves contacting source ‘God’ and combines the ancient gifts of healing from both ancient continents. The Integrated Healing Method was transmitted to Joan through much prayer and meditation because Joan had asked to be shown how to heal herself back in 1977 when she was ill. This healing method was expanded during a religious ceremony in 1986, which is based on that Ancient Art of Healing.

The Integrated Healing Method has been given as a tool to share with mankind and may be used with any system of healing according to the discretion of the healer.
