Services
Naturopathic medicine offers a customized approach to health care, where recommendations are tailored to suit individual clients. Using a range of therapies allows me to be flexible in designing the best set of recommendations possible for you.
Clinical Nutrition
Making sure we're getting the proper amount of essential nutrients each day is so important to health. Together we can look at your diet, and find ways to modify it to promote a more healthier you. Nutritional supplements may also help to augment your diet or reduce the effects of disease. Nutritional supplements may include vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutraceuticals.
There is some truth in the saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." |
Botanical / Herbal Medicine
With this therapy, we can use plant substances from around the world that are known for their healing effects and nutritional value. The use of plants for healing dates back to the beginnings of civilization and is the foundation of today's pharmacology. For example, willow bark contains salicylic acid and was the basis for aspirin.

Homeopathy
Homeopathy uses minute amounts of natural substances to stimulate the self-healing abilities of the body. Based on a system of medicine developed nearly 200 years ago by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), the homeopathic principle of treating like with like is based on treating an illness with a substance that produces in a healthy person similar symptoms to those experienced by the sick person.
As an example, Ipecacuanha (from the root of the plant) if taken by a healthy person will cause vomiting, but if taken in homeopathic doses will stop vomiting. |

Not only is it relaxing, but this therapy allows me to assist your body in regaining normal function in many of your body systems. Craniosacral therapy is founded on the belief that the body knows exactly how to heal. Read more...
