Q: What got you interested in becoming a Naturopath?

​

A: I worked in business area for many years. Although this was an interesting and dynamic field to work on, I reached a point where I no longer felt motivated about my work, and so I decided to try a different professional pathway. I was always very passionate about herbal medicine, food as medicine and health, so it wasn’t difficult to choose what I want to do, and this career path is certainly the right one for me.  

 

Q: What do you like most about being an ND?

​

A: I like working with people and for people! I really enjoy working with people and seeing the profound change that can occur when they really focus their energy on becoming healthier and more connected with who they really are.

 

Q: You've offered - A pound per day- weight loss program - what is this program and how does it achieve such great results?

​

A: This program combines the use of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) with a specific, low-calorie diet of whole foods;

• HCG is naturally produced in the body of pregnant women to enable the metabolization of fat for the benefit of the fetus; it is safe for both women and men.

• HCG does not cause you to lose weight; it changes how you lose weight.

• Weekly intramuscular nutritional injections will be provided;
