What is Naturopathic Medicine?
DEFINITION: Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct primary health care profession that emphasizes prevention, treatment, and optimal health through therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals' inherent self-healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods.
PRINCIPLES: We follow a set of principles called The Therapeutic Order that ensures safety and efficacy. We start with the foundations of health and work our way up in intensity of intervention from diet and lifestyle to surgery and medications, if necessary.
TRAINING AND EDUCATION: Licensed Naturopathic Doctors attend an accredited four-year doctoral medical school. They must pass professional board exams (NPLEX) and maintain licensure through annual medical continuing education.

About Dr. Meg
My Personal Health Journey
When I was a child, I was always sick. I caught every cold, cough, and sinus infection that went around, and itched on every square inch of my body day in and day out.
At age 7, I was diagnosed with severe asthma and was essentially told I was allergic to just about everything.
For many years, I endured all the allergy injections, medications, inhalers, and steroids. You name the therapy, I tried it. Sadly, I never experienced any remission or adequate relief.
In 2011, I met a Naturopathic Doctor who changed everything.
She addressed the root cause of my symptoms and helped my body actually HEAL.
What I learned from her opened my life up to a world of healing, curative therapies, and I have been able to live more fully and have limitless experiences that I would have otherwise had to say no to if I still felt so ill from my debilitating allergies and asthma.
I want the same healing and curative journey for you, too.
