In short, naturopathic medicine “skillfully combines natural therapeutic traditions with modern science to restore and optimize health”. A naturopathic doctor focuses on prevention and healing through modalities such as lifestyle modification, nutrition, botanicals, and homeopathy. When I see you as a client, I listen to your story and focus on your individual well being.
Everyone is unique, and your story is different, even from those who suffer similar dis-eases and ailments. The benefit of learning your story is that it allows me to find the root-cause of your illness, not only on a physical level, but also mental, emotional and spiritual. Using natural remedies, lifestyle shifts and more, I teach you the tools to help your body restore itself.
6 Principles of Naturopathic Medicine
“Naturopathic medicine is defined by 6 principles rather than treatment options”. It honors and celebrates the body’s power to heal itself and gives clients tools they can use for a lifetime of wellness. The 6 principles of naturopathic medicine are…
Prevention: Create a vital being by supporting the foundations of one’s health, leading to greater vitality and dis-ease prevention. The foundations are real food, clean water, good sleep, stress management, and body movement.
2. Identify & Treat The Cause: Look beyond the symptoms to target the root-cause of dis-ease in the body. In my experience, it’s usually emotional.
3.Treat The Whole Person: View the body and the person as an integrated being; physically, mentally, and spiritually. The body is a complex interworking of many systems that make the body function as a whole. Observing just 1 system individually is often why the conventional system fails it’s patients.
4.Do No Harm: Utilize the most natural and least invasive modalities and substances that encourage the body to obtain optimal vitality and homeostasis.
5. Healing Power Of Nature: Trust in the body’s innate wisdom and ability to heal itself. The body is designed to heal.
6. Doctor As Teacher: Educate and empower clients to make informed decisions that lead to vitality and overall wellness. This is my favorite principle. I absolutely love teaching my clients to be healthier, happier, humans.
