JOHANNA RYAN, ND, MA NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN

Message from Dr. Ryan

These days, there are many individuals and companies that claim to be your health and well-being experts. It can be challenging to discern the validity and practicality of claims made by these companies, individuals, websites, blogs, and videos.

My decision to attend naturopathic medical school at the mid-point of my life was motivated by a number of factors.

Fifteen years ago, I experienced an illness that was never able to be diagnosed. I learned from that experience that there are limits to modern medicine and that there is a plethora of alternative medical tools, some from traditions that are thousands of years old, and others that people brilliantly figured out because of their observations and connection to nature.
Naturopathic medicine is unique from other healing perspectives in that it is guided by six principles that help inform an understanding of a person’s health and well-being.
It was important to me that I obtained the appropriate education, credentials and clinical training in order to provide you with authentic expertise and experience.

We’re more than our physical bodies. We’re body, mind and spirit and in each of us, there exists an innate healing ability. And if we let it, it holds tremendous possibility for health and well-being. With the ever-developing field of quantum physics, the findings are finally supporting what ancient traditions and some of us always have known. And for those of you who need “proof,” you got it now. So stop limiting yourselves to the possibilities that exist to support yourself – body, mind and spirit.
