Our Philosophy

In our daily practice of natural medicine, we are guided by precepts as old as time, yet as current as the present moment. These are:

We are each responsible for our own health. No-one can heal you, but you can heal yourself.

Your health is in every way related to the way you are living your life. If there are problems with your health, look to the way you are living. Is your life balanced between work, rest and play? Do you judge yourself and others harshly? Do you frequently find that you are angry, resentful, jealous or depressed? Is your diet abundant in fresh, wholesome foods? Do you fill your lungs with fresh air and bask in the sunshine regularly? Do you find meaning and purpose in your daily life?

If you want to change your health, change your life.

The doctor is a guide, facilitator and teacher. No doctor can tell you whether you will recover, what your limitations will be, or whether you will live or die. All such prognoses are based on statistics. You are not a statistic, you are a unique individual.

The workings of nature reveal the unfolding of wisdom. As you are part of nature, your body has wisdom. We strive to work with your body in its effort to heal and balance itself.

Symptoms give voice to mute issues. They’re trying to tell you that your life is out of balance in some way. They also guide our doctors in understanding how best to help you.

Your body, mind and spirit are indivisible. What happens to any part of you affects the whole of you. For this reason, we never just treat symptoms, we must always focus on the whole person.

Each person is born with a constitution. Understanding your constitution and its implications helps our doctors interpret your overall condition, how you will typically fall out of balance, and what you specifically require in order to enjoy the highest level of health available to you.
