| Practice Philosophy
Welcome to an integrative approach to restorative medicine. At the core of my practice is naturopathic medicine, a system that is changing the face of healthcare by providing high-quality natural medicine for a wide range of health conditions.
Philosophy
The purpose of the clinic is to support your journey towards health by fostering an atmosphere of compassion, service, lifestyle education and natural therapies. My most important focus is education. Knowledge is power – the power for patients to change their health today and positively affect their health tomorrow.
As a naturopathic doctor, I believe in treating every patient as a unique individual that requires a unique treatment plan. I am committed to providing natural healthcare in conjunction with your other healthcare providers, to help you reach your health potential.
The Basic Fundamentals ─ Teach, Empower, Restore
Most healthcare systems end once a patient’s symptoms have been relieved. This approach does not address the underlying reason why the person became ill in the first place and in many cases it can result in the manifestation of a more severe illness. I am committed to helping patients achieve an optimal state of vitality by addressing the underlying cause of their illness today and preventing illness tomorrow. The basic fundamentals help to shape of your personalized treatment plan and form the building blocks for achieving sustainable health and wellness.
"Doctor As Teacher"
The word "doctor" is derived from the Latin word Docere which means "to teach." The backbone of my clinical practice and motivational speaking is teaching. In order to move towards a state of optimal health it is important to understand WHY a symptom exists and not just WHAT you can take to relieve the symptom. A symptom is a signal or message from the body telling you there is something wrong. As a teacher, I will help you understand why your symptoms/signals are present and what the body is trying to tell you. From that knowledge will come a deeper understanding of your personal health.
"Knowledge is Power"
We live in a society that is constantly undergoing change and adversity. A society where people fell they have no time to take care of themselves and are forced to manage their symptoms without ever achieving health. Now more than ever it is time to awaken the your sprit and feel great without medication. As a motivational speaker, I focus on reminding my patients and audiences that the true strength is always to be found within, rather than without. Health is a turning point where one can succumb to the circumstances or rise above them. It is a matter of choice and that responsibility yields great power.
Motivation is the seed of empowerment. The relationship between doctor and patient is essential at fostering this seed. I believe that where the motivation ends the inspiration begins. Inspiration can shift, transform and breed new life into people. Inspiration is the key to building and maintaining sustainable health.
"Rebalance the body to live long and live well.”"
The essence of health is in restoring balance to all aspects of our lives. Whether that be the balance of the yin and yang, hormones, diet, weight or stress levels, it is necessary to include all aspects of the being – the physical, mental and emotional in treatment.
Restoration of balance is achieved by removing the obstacles currently in the way of a cure. Restoration is an important component of every wellness plan. It involves giving yourself the nutritional and emotional support needed to stay healthy and learning how to avoid the lifestyle, dietary and environmental factors that contribute to illness.
Equally important is the prevention of diseased states, where progression or development of your condition will result in further harm to or degeneration of your body. Your treatment plan will work to strengthen your body and help you understand the factors in your life that promote disease. Restore your health today to affect the health of tomorrow.
