Naturopathic Medicine Week

It's Naturopathic Medicine Week - a time to remind you who we are and what we do.

So what is a Naturopathic Doctor?

Simply put, naturopathic doctors are medically trained and naturally focused.
We look at the current medical evidence and the clinical experience of our peers and predecessors to offer our patients the best possible care. An evidence-informed naturopathic practice draws on current medical research, clinical experience and traditional knowledge to find the optimal treatments for each patient.

Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to health, where we take into consideration the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. We treat individuals – not diseases. In order to do this well, NDs develop individualized treatments because every person develops and expresses illness differently.
To achieve lasting results, NDs work to resolve the root of the problem and to remove any impediments that are inhibiting the body’s ability to heal itself. We aim to treat the cause rather than merely appease the symptoms of disease.

We want to help resolve problems, rather than suppress them. We want to help you build up your resources so that you’re equipped for what life throws at you. That’s what makes NDs great at both treating and preventing illness.

We're here to listen to your story, to see you as a whole person, to help you understand your body, and to support you on your path to wellness.
