NATURAL HEALING TRAINING PROGRAM

Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a science, a philosophy and a way of life. Naturopathy is based on the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal itself provided it receives what it truly needs - ample sunlight, fresh air, pure water, a balance of exercise and rest, and wholesome nutrition. Naturopathy emphasizes "treating the person rather than the dis-ease" and focuses on correcting and/or preventing imbalances.

The naturopath understands that dis-ease can occur on many levels and that by providing support and nourishment for the mind, body and spirit, dis-ease is less likely to occur. Naturopaths empower individuals to take responsibility for their own health and well-being. Naturopaths employ a wide range of non-invasive techniques to support optimal health and well-being. These modalities may include, but are not necessarily limited to: acupressure, massage, meditation, vitamin and mineral supplements, detoxification, spiritual, nutritional, exercise and lifestyle counseling.
