What does this mean?
It means that when our environment supports us—when it’s rooted in empowerment, attunement, and love—our potential will emerge.
This is challenging for three main reasons:
1.We lack control over much of our external environment.
Global & personal issues like illness, political unrest, war, and climate change create a constant backdrop of uncertainty. This can leave us feeling fearful, helpless, hopeless, and out of control.
2.We are disconnected from our internal environment.
From a young age, we’re taught to suppress emotions, push through pain, and hide our truth. As a result, we lose touch with ourselves—our feelings, needs, and inner wisdom. This leads to emotional dysregulation and an inability to be present or attuned, both to ourselves and to others.
3.We lack the awareness, skills, and trust.
Without the tools to care for our internal environment—our mind, body, and spirit—we often lose confidence in ourselves. This absence of inner trust creates fear, pushing us to seek external solutions: a person, a professional, or a system to “fix” us. In my work, I’ve seen a growing crisis of confidence—people no longer trust in their innate capacity to heal and grow.
And yet—when we scrape our knee, we instinctively know what to do. We clean it, protect it, and trust that it will heal.
The question becomes:
How do I create the environment my body and soul need for my potential to unfold?
What is the soul’s version of keeping a wound “clean and dry”?
The answer begins with curiosity and attunement. Each individual will have a unique path and expression.
This is the essence of my work as a naturopathic doctor—listening deeply and helping people reconnect with what’s already inside them.
“My cycle feels off—I can tell it’s tied to stress”
“Movement isn’t just a want - it’s a need.”
“I’ve been putting myself last—it’s time to focus on my needs.”
In this way, naturopathic doctors act like midwives to the healing journey. We don’t impose solutions—we trust in the body’s wisdom, we work with the individual and the patient’s capacity to heal. The knowing is already within you.
