We aim to provide a voice and a forum for professionals who believe that planning should, to the extent possible, embrace the whole person.  We do not offer a particular theory or method of doing this.  Rather, we wish to embrace all honest attmpts at “integrative” or “holistic” planning, so that professional planners and individuals in need of help can find the processes and resources that work best for them.  We also wish to promote awareness of the need for such planning, encouraging professionals to provide it and consumers to demand it.

Toward these aims, we welcome all who have a contribution to make, or wish to keep abreast of what is happening in this wide-open filed.  We welcome financial and non-financial planners of all kinds; strategic thinkers and marketers from the financial and other industries who are trying to determine how to serve their clientele; scholars and writers who are developing or promoting new ideas; consultants, trainers, software developers, and others who provide products and services that support integrative planning; and all others who have an interest in our mission.

This website is designed to support communication among members of these groups, on topics related to integrative planning.  For additional resources and information, you may visit the site of our sponsoring organization, the Association for Integrative Financial and Life Planning, at www.AIFLP.org.
