JOINING THE WellSpring NATUROPATHIC PRACTICE

The goal of a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) is to restore the body to health.  This is done by removing obstacles to cure, giving the body what it needs, and stimulating “the Vis” – the  Healing Power of Nature.  The ND doesn’t “cure” you – your body heals itself.  But this requires active participation from you.  Joining the WellSpring practice means you are committed to being part of a team whose mission is to optimize your total health and well-being.

Your initial consultation is done in two office visits.  The first visit is 90 minutes and provides an opportunity to gain a comprehensive overview of your total health and your current symptom picture.  A naturopathic assessment is done at this time, including a bioenergetic food incompatability test.  The second visit is a 60 minute review of the assessment results, with personalized recommendations for a plan to improve your overall health. 

Once you are an established patient, the need for further visits will depend on the complexity of your condition and your own health goals.  Some conditions respond quickly, others benefit from more frequent monitoring.  Some people simply want a place to begin, others appreciate review and fine tuning.  And, of course, things change!  We will work together to keep you moving in the direction of optimal health!
