Appointments and Fees

What is your Health ‘worth’ to you?

Naturopathic Fee ScheduleNaturopathic Medicine’s primary focus is not just dealing with current health concerns, but working towards Preventative health care is the ultimate goal. Just like the maintenance – time, energy, money – you place into your car to keep it running smoothly in order to prevent larger problems from taking place in the future, so too the maintenance for a healthy body, mind, and spirit are necessary as well. We invest in our material things such as education, homes, and technology – and equally it is vital to see our health as an investment as well, and not wait around until something goes wrong, to try and ‘fix’ the problem, because in all cases, ‘fixes’ are a fantasy, not reality.

Remember: You have one body and you are the Master of it – therefore, your 100% participation is required in making the changes and investments necessary towards correcting your current medical issues and preventing new issues from occurring.
