Naturopathic Doctors are primary care physicians. Our training is very similar to MD’s in that we take the same basic science boards and have exposure to similar classes such as gynecology, emergency medicine, pharmacology, gastroenterology, ect
BUT, integrated into our program is natural ways of healing the body using homeopathy, botanicals, drainage and nutrition as well as physical modalities such as hydrotherapy, physical manipulation (like chiropractors) and cranio-sacral work. I could go on!
My goal is to listen, educate and support you on your journey.
My favorite modality is Drainage. Ok- it doesn’t sound appealing to everyone, but it is similar to the ultimate detox. It’s about draining your system of what isn’t being used or needed creating room for repair, growth and optimatal wellness. Think of how great it would be to drain your system of all your toxins-old and new. And when I say toxins I don’t just mean last nights margarita or that yummy slice of pizza. I’m also talking about years of physical stress, emotional trauma, excess food/drink/drugs (pharmaceutical and recreational) and environmental toxins.
Drainage is a way of practicing natural medicine that will help open up your primary pathways of elimination- the lungs, kidneys, bowels and skin allowing your body to properly process the world it is exposed to. Drainage will help teach your body to hold onto the nutrients from your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual exposures and excrete what is unneeded leaving your mind, body and spirit “clean”.
