About the practice
Licensed Naturopathic doctor focused on individual healthcare, whole-systems approach to medicine. Where the body/mind are compared to a complex adaptive system. This system is continuously working to maintain optimal equilibrium, in a perpetually changing environment. Disease symptoms develop when the system is unable to successfully adapt to a particular trauma/stress. Symptoms are considered a red flag reflecting the underlying disorder in the system. Disease symptoms can be reduced or cured when the underlying cause is treated/removed. The underlying cause(s) of each client's condition is first identified (through thorough initial intake which may include various lab analysis as appropriate) and then the most effective and best indicated treatment is used to reduce and/or remove the totality of undesirable symptoms and improve the function of the whole system. Ontario NDs are trained in 6 major modalities: Homeopathic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture and Herbs), Western herbal/botanical Medicine, Clinic Nutritional, Life style management and Physical therapies.
