Naturopathy

What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy was the earliest known healing system and covers all aspects of family health from prenatal to geriatric care, with a special focus on whole-patient wellness.

Dr. Jocelin Whitaker as a Doctor of Traditional Naturopathy tailors her work with each client to view each as an individual, placing a strong emphasis upon prevention and self-care.

Naturopathy is based upon six fundamental principles:

  • The Healing Power of Nature– Trust in the body’s inherent wisdom given by God to heal itself.
  • Identify and Treat the Causes– Look beyond the symptoms to the underlying cause.
  • First Do No Harm– Utilize the most natural, least invasive, and least toxic therapies.
  • Doctor as Teacher– Educate patients in the steps to achieving and maintaining health.
  • Treat the Whole Person– View the body as an integrated whole in all its physical and spiritual dimensions.
  • Prevention – Focus on overall health, wellness and disease prevention
