Naturopathic Medicine is a system of healthcare that addresses the root causes of illness, emphasizes preventative and proactive care, and promotes optimal health through gentle, natural, and non-invasive therapies which support the body’s inherent self-healing mechanisms. Naturopathic Physicians are able to resolve a wide range of health concerns, including digestive issues, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, skin issues, environmental sensitivities, many chronic issues, acute conditions such as the common cold or ear infections, and functional problems that may mystify general practitioners and even specialists.

Naturopathic Physicians must complete at least 3 years of liberal arts or sciences at an accredited college or university recognized by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia, followed by 4-5 years of graduate work with a theoretical and clinical component at one of 6 accredited and regulated schools in North America.
