As a Naturopathic Doctor, I have received clinical training allowing me to:
take a comprehensive medical history

make diagnoses
Approach to health:
emphasis on diet and lifestyle
recognizes the role of mental-emotional factors

is pro-active by promoting health and strengthening the body to try and prevent future disease
Naturopathic Medicine:
can help treat a variety of health conditions
can be used safely alongside medications

Collaboration:
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I've had different training and education compared to a Medical Doctor. I see this as an advantage when collaborating patient care - two heads are often better than one. I offer a different perspective to health and collaborate openly with all of my patients' health care providers.
