Philosophy

natural medicine philosophyThrough the practice of Naturopathic and Chinese medicine, I help you to activate your innate healing capacity, and thus I am fulfilling my life’s purpose and providing a valuable service to my community.

I believe that we all have an innate, self-directed healing capacity, but due to a variety of influences, many of us have lost touch with this ability. As a result of my personal spiritual work, and my training in naturopathy and Chinese medicine, I am able to provide an environment in which you can activate your own healing energies. This not only helps you address illness, it also supports you in your personal journey toward empowerment.

Every person is unique, and since I treat people rather than diseases, there is no particular protocol that I can outline here. No two patients have the same issues (physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual – all are integrated into the whole person), and there is not “one-size-fits-all” plan for holistic healing. Instead, I spend time learning about who you are and working to understand how your “terrain” (internal environment) is functioning. A healthy terrain is like a flowing river, and an unhealthy terrain is like a stagnant river that has accumulated run-off and toxins that challenge its healthy balance. My focus is on restoring balance through opening the major elimination channels in the body, activating key enzyme systems, tonifying or sedating the qi, and awakening ones divine purpose. This is accomplished through proper diet, drainage remedies, herbs, nutrient supplements and acupuncture.

I am committed to meeting you where you are in your healing process, and working to find a balance that will help you attain a level of health and inner peace that is ideally suited for your journey.
