Naturopathic Medicine combines modern, evidence-based Western medicine with ancient traditional Eastern medicine. The standard of care focuses on utilizing the most effective and least invasive treatment options. Naturopathic Doctors are medically trained and naturally focused to seek the root cause of your health concerns.

Naturopathy takes all aspects of one’s life into account: diet, exercise, sleep, mental state, stress management, relationships with others, and spirit. We can find and treat the root cause of your ailments by addressing each of these pillars of health. The scope of practice covers thorough health history intakes, blood work, and other required labs so that you can gain a full picture of what’s happening in your body. Only then can we select the appropriate treatments from our vast toolbox: ones such as botanical medicine, supplementation, nutritional counseling, Traditional Chinese Medicine practices, homeopathy, and mental health counseling to name a few.

They talk to you about your current diet, your health goals, and your preferences. Then, they work with you to make lasti... Read More

Iridology / Sclerology

Iridology is the examination and interpretation of the iris which corresponds with different areas, organs, and parts of your body.
A spot or mark will appear on your iris whenever stress, physical or emotional blockages, or toxicity are present.
Victoria is trained to observe the trends and marks found within the iris and sclera to develop a personalized nutritional protocol for you.

Live and dry blood cell analysis is an interpretive blood test carried out by extracting a single drop of blood from the fingertip and observing it through a high-powered, dark-field microscope. Your blood can reveal a great deal about your health, giving us insights into over 25 different facets of your body. With this data, a qualified nutritional consultant can identify deficiencies you might have in terms of vitamins and minerals, as well as alert you to toxic levels of other components in your blood. The test also shows infections and can reveal important information about possible allergies.
