Naturopathic Family Healthcare

I am a licensed Naturopathic doctor in the state of Vermont. I offer complete healthcare options for women and their families. I focus on identifying and treating the causes of illness for patients of all ages.

Replacing pharmaceutical medication with herbs that perform the same or similar action, does not necessarily address the underlying cause of an illness. While the Naturopathic prescription will address the symptoms, and will do so with fewer side effects, the best and highest medicine requires looking at the underlying cause of the symptoms.

While investigating the cause, I will ask about lifestyle, diet, and mental/emotional components, including an assessment of stress and stress managment. Our bodies require consistent care and an holistic approach to ensure optimal well-being and functioning.

Personalized Care

I provide personal care unique to each patient. Naturopathic medicine focuses on treating each person as a distinct and whole entity. The treatment plan offered will encompass all the aspects of health: mental, emotional, and physical.

Lifestyle plays a crucial role in health and well-being. I understand that changing one's lifestyle challenges all of us. I will work closely with you to develop a plan that works, fitting your needs and schedule.

Prevention and Wellness

Prevention is fundamental to the practice of Naturopathic medicine. Prevention applies to the entire spectrum of an individual's healthcare including cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementia. I will work with you to minimze your risk factors and optimize your health. Both family and individual history will be addressed in finding the most appropriate health-promoting pathway for each individual.

What to Expect from Naturopathic Medicine

Efficacy of Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine works. Sometimes the remedies work quickly and dramatically, and sometimes they take longer to have an effect. To ensure successful healing the prescribed remedies need to be taken as directed.

Patient Involvement

You are the most important person in your healing process. No one else can make healthy choices for you. Naturopathic medicine does not work in spite of you, but because of you. Learning and applying healthy diet and lifestyle choices in your daily routine are the most important and effective tools for maintaining and achieving optimal health.

Though I will work with you to make any changes as easy as possible, changes are often required. Therefore, Naturopathic medicine may not be the right choice for those unable to make simple diet and lifestyle changes.
