About Naturopathy

The Naturopathic approach is not about using natural therapies as substitutes for pharmaceuticals. It's about creating a harmonious balance within the individual. Naturopaths recognize that each person is unique, and factors such as lifestyle, nutrition, emotional well-being, and environmental influences play integral roles in overall health.

Principles of Naturopathic Wellness

Naturopathic practitioners use the following guiding principles to help clients achieve optimal wellness:

  1. The Healing Power of Nature

    We recognize the body’s innate capacity to heal itself when given the proper tools and conditions.

  2. Identify and Remove the Cause

    How can we expect change if the circumstances that led to imbalance aren't modified? We take the time to get to the root of the issue in order to achieve lasting wellness.

  3. First, Do No Harm

    Naturopathic practitioners aim to use the most effective & least harmful therapies for the person in front of us. Just because something is natural does not mean it is safe in every situation. We are trained to know when one's condition has reached a state that would be best addressed by higher level interventions outside the realm of our Naturopathic tools.

  4. Practitioner as Teacher

    I love providing clients with the information and tools they need to become masters of their own bodies & health. It's an absolute priority for me to always make time to explain the rationale behind any approach I recommend and to answer any and all questions to ensure that every person I work with feels empowered along their wellness journey.

  5. Support the Whole Person

    Naturopathic practitioners consider the individual as a whole, interconnected being – encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Practitioners assess and support all of these dimensions to promote comprehensive wellness.

  6. Prevention

    You do not have to be ill to prioritize your wellness. By recognizing potential health risks and the behaviors we engage in that could set us up for imbalance in the future, we can identify ways to realistically implement healthful behaviors while still enjoying life.

Tools Used

When putting together a care plan, I consider different combinations of the following tools:

  • Botanical medicine

  • Vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements

  • Homeopathy

  • Biotherapeutic drainage

  • Flower essences

  • General dietary information

  • Lifestyle counseling

  • Mind-body techniques

The Value of a Naturopathic Approach *

At Alma Holistic Wellness, I offer more than just recommendations—I provide a thoughtful, whole-person approach to wellness.

  • I take the time to truly listen. Your full story matters, not just isolated symptoms.

  • I connect the dots. Rather than viewing each concern separately, I consider how everything works together.

  • I bridge conventional and holistic perspectives. I understand conventional approaches while also integrating diet, lifestyle, supplements, and herbal wellness.

  • I provide ongoing support. I check in between visits to see how you’re progressing toward your wellness goals.

  • I help make sense of lab results. I review them through a wellness-focused lens, explain what they indicate, and suggest ways to support balance before values fall outside typical ranges.

  • I prioritize gentle, foundational support. I explore lifestyle and nutritional strategies before more intensive interventions may be needed.

  • I consider the mind-body connection. Emotional well-being plays a significant role in overall health, and I take this into account when offering guidance.

  • I translate complex health concepts. I make information accessible so you can make informed decisions about your wellness.

  • I personalize recommendations. My guidance is tailored to you rather than based on a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • I provide expert knowledge on supplements and herbs. I help navigate what is safe, appropriate, and high-quality, as this information isn’t always easy to find.

  • I help you reconnect with yourself. My goal is not to create dependence but to empower you with tools and knowledge for long-term well-being.

My role is to guide, educate, and help you implement sustainable strategies that align with your unique needs.
