Naturopathy is based on core principles which emphasize the healing power of nature, prevention of disease, and treatment of the whole person. Education is a significant part of the canon, which views the doctor as a teacher. At the Townsend Naturopathic Clinic in Burlington, Ontario, the focus is on treating the underlying cause of a patient’s health issue instead of addressing the symptoms alone.

Health through Nature
Optimal health is gained from an understanding of the extraordinary ability of the body to heal itself through the power of nature. Healing is promoted through a wide variety of proven remedies and techniques using natural, non- pharmaceutical products.

Disease Prevention
The prevention of disease is a core principle of naturopathy.  Dr. Townsend, ND and Dr. Moore, ND work closely with their patients to determine the underlying factors which may lead to disease. They then create individualized treatment plans to address each factor at its root, ensuring all issues are confronted in the most proactive way, without further negatively affecting the patient.

Treatment of Conditions and Illnesses
Both Dr. Kim Townsend, ND and Dr. Amber Moore, ND hold a degree in Naturopathic Medicine.  They are qualified doctors trained to treat a wide variety of health related issues ranging from physical ailments to psychological concerns. Whatever the health care issue, Dr. Kim and Dr. Amber have the knowledge and the experience to offer exceptional treatment options and advice at the Townsend Naturopathic Clinic in Burlington, Ontario.

Treatment for the Individual
Unlike traditional forms of healthcare which take a more generalized approach, naturopathic treatments are extremely specialized. Each patient is viewed as an individual and their treatment plan is created uniquely for them. In naturopathy the doctor is considered a teacher. Patients are educated and taught to make better lifestyle decisions aimed at preventing future issues and follow plans to accelerate their body’s own natural healing power.

Naturopaths Combined with other Healthcare Practitioners
Naturopaths often work with conventional medical doctors, registered massage therapists, compounding pharmacists, registered nurses and other health care practitioners to provide the most comprehensive care possible. Dr. Kim and Dr. Amber work closely with a variety of medical professionals in Burlington and the surrounding area, and may refer patients based on their unique situation and needs.
