What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathy understands that health is not just being disease-free, but being vibrant; every cell in the body is bouncing with life and vitality.

A naturopathic practitioner uses the patient-centered approach with emphasis on rapport, empathy and authenticity. Education of the patient is vital to promote healthy living, self-care, preventative medicine and the unique factors affecting vitality.

Each individual is different, unique and his or her life story is important for establishing the root cause of any dis-ease.
