Naturopathy

A review of your medical history and health goals using a whole-person approach, to learn more about your physical symptoms, as well as mental and emotional aspects of health.

Our naturopaths frequently use health testing to determine root causes, track the progress of our treatments, and to support and manage your treatment protocols.

Naturopath appointments can also include physical examinations. 

Lifestyle and dietary counselling are the foundation of naturopathy. Our naturopaths review your current diet, lifestyle and your health goals. An individualized nutrition strategy, medical diets, meal planning support or nutrition plan is provided to support you based on your needs. 

Lifestyle changes such as stress management tools, sleep habits, and your exercise routine are discussed to help you optimize your health and reach your goals. 

Our naturopaths are trained in acupuncture, and offer a variety of acupuncture services including traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, sports medicine trigger point therapy, dry needling, auricular acupuncture, and facial rejuvenation acupuncture.

Acupuncture impacts the musculoskeletal system as well as the nervous system, while moving blood flow and Qi energy through the body to facilitate the desired outcome.

Naturopathic doctors are trained to use the healing power of plant medicine through botanical medicine and phytotherapy, and often integrate this form of medicine into treatment plans. 

Our naturopaths use plants in different forms, such as as capsules, herbal teas and in tinctures.  Verdure offers custom compounding of botanical tinctures for truly individualized medicine.  

Intramuscular vitamin injections can greatly help patients who have experienced a vitamin deficiency, who have signs of deficiency, or who have a medical condition that warrants this therapy, such as celiac disease a malabsorption gut disorder.

When vitamins are injected high doses can be used and the injection by-passes the gut, which means that levels can quickly increase into the blood stream. This can offer fast relief, and improved absorption. 

Only Dr. Kristin Spark ND and Dr. Laura Hoffmann ND are licensed to offer this treatment type. 

Some of our naturopaths are licensed to prescribe certain restricted substances including, but not limited to: high doses of certain vitamins/substances, HRT, thyroid medication and more. 

We work with you, your physician, and your pharmacy to offer you the right solution for your health goals.  

Our top priority is always safety, and we work with our patients to develop a comprehensive plan for their prescriptions.
