“Amidst the widespread 21st century calls for healthcare to be evidence-based, Wendie Colter makes a strong case that medical intuition merits a room in the ‘evidence house’. One of her most important messages is that healthcare professionals can and should be trained to develop “intuitive assessment” skills. Such information merits consideration along with evidence from clinical trials and clinical experience of whole-person care.”

— Stephan A. Schwartz, author of The 8 Laws of Change and Opening to the Infinite
