Richmond, VA 23226
With the combination of my four years as consultant on use of bio-identical hormones, eight years in private practice and five years in research, this has given me valuable work and clinical experience in helping me to be a better doctor. Furthermore, it has given me insight into applying both the science and the art of practicing medicine. I feel very privileged to have worked with Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD during my first three years in practice in Seattle, WA in which cutting edge treatments were used for several chronic conditions.

How to tell if Naturopathy is right for me?
A Richmond naturopath is a practitioner of naturopathy, a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself. Richmond Naturopaths improve health by treating the person holistically, tapping a person's own internal body, mind, and spirit resources. Naturopathy comprises a blend of different therapies, all attempting to restore the body to health in the most natural, noninvasive way possible by stimulating the body's own healing powers.
