What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic healing approach that focuses on restoring the body’s natural balance and vitality by addressing the root causes of health concerns, rather than merely suppressing symptoms. It embraces a whole-person perspective, recognizing that physical, mental, emotional, and environmental factors are interconnected and influence overall well-being.
By employing gentle, natural therapies such as clinical nutrition and dietary guidance, botanical (herbal) medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, lifestyle counseling, stress management techniques, and physical medicine, naturopathic practitioners aim to stimulate the body’s innate healing power, enhance detoxification, support immune function, and promote optimal physiological processes.
When imbalances in nutrition, lifestyle, or environmental exposures disrupt the body’s natural harmony, they can contribute to a wide range of issues, including chronic fatigue, pain, and diminished vitality. Naturopathy seeks to gently correct these underlying factors, empowering the body’s self-healing mechanisms through non-invasive, supportive therapies that foster long-term wellness.
Conditions that may benefit from naturopathic support:
- Digestive disorders (e.g., IBS, bloating, constipation)
- Chronic fatigue and low energy
- Hormonal imbalances (e.g., thyroid issues, menopause, PMS)
- Allergies and food sensitivities
- Anxiety, stress, and emotional well-being
- Insomnia and sleep disturbances
- Headaches and migraines
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Skin conditions (e.g., eczema, acne)
- Immune system support and frequent infections
- Respiratory conditions (e.g., asthma)

I’ve had five treatments so far, and I feel incredibly relaxed after each one. I highly recommend Nara if you’re looking for a skilled therapist who can help you deeply relax.

Katerina is an amazing therapist and after just two treatments I’m already noticing a huge difference in my mobility and comfort! I really appreciate how she communicates throughout the treatment and provides clear and thoughtful home care advice. Thanks Katerina! Look forward to more sessions fixing my weekend warrior woes :) Kerrie GMay 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had several appointments with Dr. Zhu, initially for a back issue that she quickly resolved. More importantly was that she offered treatment with acupuncture for migraines. For the first time in many years, I didn't have to be debilitated for several days. This is a huge win, and I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Zhu for acupuncture treatment for a number of medical issues.
