Medscape has an entire section on Integrative Medicine including recommendatins on finding a practitioner. There are a number of sites at academic and university settings, but depending on where you live, these sites may or may not be readily accesible.
You can also check  the Bravewell Collaborative http://www.bravewell.org for some good info

If an individual from south western Ontario happens to be traveling these parts in search of an integrative practitioner, there's an excellent one in Milton by the name of Michael Adams.  He's a little pricey, but he's definitely on top of his game. 

Here's the website

I think all of you folks are in the USA but if anyone is UK I can maybe help….contact me. Also, what do you all think about online health care? For instance, I provide email consultations for supplement advice and homeopathic treatment, including full scale, what we call constitutional, treatment. It is definitely different treating online yet for some people, seems to suit. If you think it may suit you, it takes away a bit of the pressure to find someone local.

Naturally it limits your options in another way eg. can't get osteopathy acupuncture or chiropractic! Unless you know a way…?
