Dr. Moore believes that true health is influenced by everything we do—what we eat, how we live, how we move, how we rest, and how we think. She takes a whole-person approach to care, focusing not just on symptoms or individual body parts, but on the interconnectedness of body, mind, and emotions. As a guide on your health journey, she helps you cultivate balance and resilience in all aspects of your well-being. Her work is grounded in the core principles of Naturopathic Medicine, outlined below.
The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Mediacatrix Naturae)
Naturopathic medicine recognizes an inherent self-healing process in people that is ordered and intelligent. Naturopathic physicians act to identify and remove obstacles to healing and recovery, and to facilitate and augment this inherent self-healing process.
Identify and Treat the Cause (Tolle Causaum)
Seek to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness rather than merely eliminate or suppress symptoms.
First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere)
- Utilize methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat
- Avoid when possible the harmful suppression of symptoms
- Acknowledge, respect and work with individuals' self-healing process
The Doctor as Teacher (Docere)
Naturopathic physicians educate their patients and encourage self-responsibility for health. They also recognize and employ the therapeutic potential of the doctor-patient relationship.
Treat the Whole Person
Naturopathic physicians treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social and other factors. Since total health also includes spiritual health, naturopathic physicians encourage individuals to pursue their personal spiritual development.
Prevention
Naturopathic physicians emphasize the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease and by making appropriate interventions in partnership with their patients to prevent illness.
