    Employment information

    Naturopaths combine a solid medical understanding with gentle techniques that are non-intrusive to promote health and well-being. They focus on preventing disease, improving wellness and supporting the natural healing process of the body. To achieve optimal health, they use a holistic approach that emphasizes the connection between the mind, body, and the environment.

    Naturopaths are a different profession than homeopaths. They use a wider range of natural therapies, including nutrition, herbal medicines, and lifestyle counseling. Ayurvedic practitioners, on the contrary, are classified under Complementary Health Therapists. They specialize in traditional Indian medicine.
