Clare Holistic Health 1.87

In 2001, I started to suffer from anxiety issues. Like most people, I seeked help by going to the doctors and taking conventional drugs. However, not only was the treatment I received from conventional mediation ineffective, my health was worsened by the side effects of my medication. After a long period of suffering, I decided to battle my condition with different tools and methods. I stopped taking traditional medicines prescribed by physicians and started taking Chinese medicine and herbal supplements. I also helped myself with aromatherapy, Yoga and Chi Kung. As I began to take control over my own health using various natural remedies, it didn't take long before I realize how much better I feel about my body. Along my path to recovery, I became passionate about naturopathy, so I decided to further pursue knowledge in the field and this is where my journey in naturopathy begins. In 2010, I completed a course in Clinical Information Technology and a course in Clinical Nutrition & Botanical Functional Medicine. Since 2012, I have been providing consultations starting with family members, then to my colleagues, and gradually to my colleagues’ relatives and friends. The positive feedback I hear from my clients has made me believe that a naturopathic approach can be equally as effective, if not more, as conventional treatment but without the harmful side effects. While drugs developed in the laboratories are capable of alleviating immediate pain, they are usually temporary solution and most of the time, they don't quite eliminate the root of the problem. My philosophy is that most illnesses and suffering can be treated with resources that are naturally given to us. By diagnosing the root of the problem and approaching it with a natural resources, you would experience a much less invasive recovery.
