Dr. G's Journey to Naturopathic Medicine
As a kid, I never wanted to go to the doctor nor did I ever expect to become one. Something changed when I studied in Kenya for a year and the experiences opened my mind to see things from a completely different perspective. Then I taught English in Japan for three years where I again experienced a different lifestyle, language and way of doing things. When I got sick and had to go to the doctor my experience was completely different from medical treatment in the US. Here was a western medically trained doctor asking about the foods that I had been eating, to take care with the seasonal change in the weather and to curb my activity in order to get well. I was not given pharmaceuticals but little packets of what looked like tea or herbs. A whole new approach to medicine that offered something different from conventional drugs and surgery, my path to holistic medicine began. Next I discovered naturopathic medicine, Chinese medicine, acupuncture and CranioSacral Therapy. These provided the "outside of the box" approach to healthcare that I was looking for with a focus on optimizing and maintaining health. Come join me on your journey to better health today!
