A Balanced Approach to Health
Dr. Sheppard’s approach to her patient’s health is that the body is an
energetic system that is constantly interacting with itself and the environment.
Disease processes occur when this energy dynamic becomes imbalanced.
Naturopathic philosophy emphasizes finding the root cause of imbalance,
versus just treating the symptoms. Dr. Sheppard works to assess the origin of
disease or imbalance in each patient, using both Western and Chinese
doctrines. Naturopathic medicine invokes the healing power of nature and
strives to give the least force necessary to promote health and wellness. Many
treatments are age-old remedies or common plants that can have dramatic
clinical effects if properly administered.
Dr. Sheppard has over 12 years of clinical experience in naturopathic
medicine and acupuncture, with an emphasis on helping patients with complex
disease patterns, such as chronic diseases, metabolic disorders, autoimmune
diseases, allergies, traumatic and/ or pain syndromes, reproductive health
issues, aging and degenerative disorders, heart, lung and kidney diseases, and
