About Lorraine Hurley, MD and Health for Life  

Dr. Hurley lives on Cape Cod in Brewster, MA. She obtained her medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine in 1997. She completed residency training and board certification in family medicine at the University of MA and began practice as a family physician in 2000.

While in practice, she focused her continuing education on the cause and prevention of disease, nutrition, natural and holistic therapeutics, energy healing techniques and environmental health. She is certified in Functional medicine and is a certified quantum biofeedback specialist. Eventually frustrated beyond reconciliation with the constraints and limits imposed on and by the daily practice of medicine, Dr. Hurley left and founded Health for Life.

Health for Life is a health and self-healing consultation and education service. It provides what traditional practice cannot; the time, strategy, support and education necessary to empower individuals to reclaim and optimize their health potential.

Our Mission

The mission of Health for Life is to dispel the myth that health is the mere absence of disease: that symptoms and signs of compromise are incomprehensible to the average person and that disease and illness cannot be avoided or overcome. Through education we seek to provide an expansion of explanations and interpretations of what illness and health are. Our goal is to guide clients into greater awareness and appreciation of their optimal health potential and their ability to attain this through responsible choices and committed action.
Our Philosophy

I believe that individuals should be free to make informed and empowered choices about their health and that they have a right to pursue health to its fullest potential. I also believe that health is a skill, a skill we can all acquire with effort and commitment. I believe all health and healing come from within and view myself as a tool crafter and you, the client, as tool master.

Because each individual is a unique combination of their genetics, environment, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, choices and experiences, each plan of health creation will be likewise unique. I provide education that is a synthesis of credible and forward thinking research combined with the wisdom of established practice (both eastern and western) because I believe that this provides the fullest and richest view possible of all the choices and practices available to you. I define health as a state of vitality, creativity and resourcefulness across the entire body, mind, heart and spirit continuum. Therefore I believe creating optimal health will necessitate acknowledgment of, and abiding respect for, all the extraordinary aspects of your humanness.
