Aims of Naturopathic medicine

The basic tenets of naturopathic & nutritional medicine are:

• First do no harm
We use the least invasive methods possible and always place the needs and interests of the client first.


• Look to the healing power of nature
We acknowledge that the human body has its own healing ability and we support this with the healing power of botanicals, nutrition, and other natural healing mechanisms found in nature.


• Find and address the cause
Naturopaths and nutritionists look for the root cause of your imbalance and work with you towards a resolution.

• Treat the whole person
We acknowledge that our clients are a complex being with spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical characteristics that are unique to each individual. This is why the treatment will be individualised based on your specific needs.

• Prevention
We support our clients to help avoid the development of future acute or chronic disease.

• Doctor as teacher
As naturopathic doctors we have been trained in the complex dimensions of the body including biochemistry and physiology and our objective is to educate our client in how this applies to everyday healthcare. Medicine has a very complex language and how we apply this to the body can also be complex. Our training gives our clients access to this complex knowledge. We however, learn as much from our clients as we teach them and highly value the relationship with our clients.
