What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a gentle approach to health care, which aims to treat the root cause of a patient’s illness (instead of dealing only with the symptoms) and focuses on prevention. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) provide each patient with an individualized treatment plan, taking into consideration factors such as the patients health history, medications, budget, lifestyle and goals.

What do Naturopathic Doctors do?

One of the most important things that an ND can do is to simply listen to you, and help you feel respected and heard! In addition to this, naturopathic doctors can use a combination of acupuncture, botanical medicine, nutrition, and counselling to help each patient.

What to Expect at Your Visits?

​

The first visit can be anywhere from 60-90 minutes in length and will focus on collecting information. For your first visit, please fill the intake forms out ahead of time; and bring any copies of recent lab work that you may have. The follow up visits will vary in length depending on what we wish to accomplish. Acupuncture visits can be as short as 30 min, while more complex visits will require more time. Throughout your visits, we will work together in order to develop a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, budget and goals! Most visits are done in person, but phone or virtual visits can be completed if it suits you better.
