I Listen, Take the Time and Offer Years of Dedicated Experience
I will assist you, as a guide and partner, to understand how your condition has developed and to create a targeted plan to discover and clear the obstacles preventing you from experiencing optimal health. Wellness is more than just a lack of physical symptoms, it is also a sense of vitality, as well as mental and emotional well-being.
My approach is based on
• patient-centered care rather than disease-centered
• a person’s genetic and environmental factors
• the complex connection between the body systems
• the effect of negative emotions and traumas held in the body
• knowing that health is positive vitality and emotional well-being
People Are Gaining a Greater Trust in Natural Medicine
They want health care without harmful chemicals or side effects. They want to prevent diseases such as cancer, heart disease and senility.
It is through an understanding of nature’s balance in your own body that you achieve and maintain health. The knowledge to maintain this balance is difficult to capture in the medical science that is currently in use in America.
However, the long lineage of natural health scholars and naturopathic doctors have maintained this legacy of health care in harmony with natural laws and principles since the early 1900’s when American medical schools were standardized to the scientific model in use today.
Naturopathic Physicians Are Licensed Health Care Providers
Naturopathic doctors attend four-year medical schools with similar scientific, laboratory and clinical training to medical doctors. In addition, we are the doctors trained and licensed to prescribe nutritional supplements, herbs, homeopathic medicines, bio-identical hormones and natural thyroid, therapeutic diets, and detoxification protocols for heavy metals and environmental chemicals.
