Practice Approach
The naturopathic medicine process is not arbitrary or uninspired - it is systematic and has deep roots that are time-honored and proven by patients/clients just like you.
Our Precepts (principles), which describe our approach are ordered by a hierarchy of guidelines, known as the Therapeutic Order (the when, why and how we implement our therapies to best support/stimulate the healer within (The Healing Power of Nature).
When this foundational paradigm is kept at the forefront of our process and protocols, we are ensured that our patients/clients are on target for whole health (as best as attainable), and not (just) symptom-free living.
