Naturopathic Care
By taking all aspects of you and your health into account through a Naturopathic approach, Nicole focuses on finding the cause of disease rather than suppressing symptoms as is routinely done in conventional medicine. Naturopathic care is effective for both acute and chronic illness, as well as preventing future disease and reaching optimal wellness. Nicole combines the science of conventional medicine with the wisdom of alternative medicine to treat everything from the common cold and sore throat, to digestive disorders, insomnia, and dermatological conditions. She is also very effective in helping those with common ailments that conventional medicine often doesn't have a solution for such as fatigue, and general lack of vitality.
Nicole works to restore your health using safe, natural, and effective therapies. Specific therapies include:
Herbal medicine
Herbal or botanical medicines are plant-derived preparations that are used to treat and prevent disease. Plants have been used as a form of medicine since before recorded history and in many ancient cultures. When used under the supervision of a knowledgeable practitioner, herbs can be a very safe and effective form of medicine with fewer side effects than conventional medications.

Lifestyle assessment & coaching
The way we handle stress, the quality of our sleep, our diet and the amount we exercise all greatly affect our health.
Through a lifestyle assessment, Nicole takes each of these aspects of your life into account to make recommendations which can improve your overall health in a manner that is both effective and realistic for you.
Nicole works with you to achieve a balanced lifestyle and monitor progress towards your goals, tailoring the approach to fit your individual needs.
Dietary assessment
The foods we eat are the building blocks for every cell in the body and provide the tools the body needs to carry out all of it's biochemical processes.
Dietary assesment is more than learning which foods are healthy and which are not. Understanding how certain foods could be negatively affecting your health is a cornerstone to restoring optimal wellbeing. Using a simplified approach, Nicole can help you understand your body's needs and provide you with the resources you need to restore vibrancy to your diet and your state of health.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a form of medicine that involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances with the aim of triggering the body’s natural system of healing. Based on a patient’s specific symptom, a homeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to each patient. Homeopathy is a very gentle and safe medicine that can be used in the treatment of babies and children.
Homeopathy is widely used in Europe to treat anything from a simple cold to chronic diseases. Homeopathic preparations are commonly found in European drug stores and there are even hospitals dedicated solely to homeopathic treatment.
