The primary goal of naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of illness
rather than simply treat or suppress symptoms.
The patient is seen as a whole person and all aspects of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions are taken into account when diagnosing and developing a treatment plan.
Virtually all chronic and most acute conditions may benefit from treatment by ND’s, and treatment is exceptionally safe for people of all ages.
The primary therapies used by ND are clinical nutrition and nutraceuticals, botanical medicine, homeopathic medicine and prevention and lifestyle counselling.

Naturopathic Doctors complete 4 years of medical school with the first two years focused on the basic sciences, similar to traditional medical school programs; the final two years are devoted to further study and practice of natural therapeutics in a clinical setting.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
Borrowing from acupuncture, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) uses the same energy meridians on the chest and head, but instead of needles, EFT uses a gentle tapping technique. This innovative approach begins with removing the obstructions that are presently blocking your natural healing ability. While engaging your energy meridians, positive affirmations will be voiced to help you clear the layers of emotional blockage and restore the balance between your mind and body.
One of the beautiful things about this technique is that Dr. Vinge can teach you how to perform it on yourself, anywhere and at any time.
Emotional Freedom Techniques can be used to treat numerous emotional, physical and psychological conditions, including but not limited to:
- Addictions (Smoking, Drinking)
- Anorexia and Bulimia
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Fears and Phobias
- Headaches
- High Blood Pressure
- Insomnia
- Limiting Beliefs (Guilt, Grief, Sadness, Shame, Self-Image, Trauma)
- Pain Management
- Panic Attacks
- Stress
- Weight Loss
