    Naturopathic Medicine Kitchener

      Naturopathic medicine is a diverse system of primary healthcare that involves the use of natural therapies to prevent disease. The main purpose of Naturopathic medicine is to stimulate the natural healing ability of the body to address the root cause of illness. Naturopathic Doctors believe that each individual is unique and, therefore, each treatment plan should be tailored to that patient.

      Who are Naturopathic Doctors?

      Naturopathic Medicine is regulated under the Ontario provincial law. Similar to other family doctors, a registered Naturopathic physician must have at least 7 years of postsecondary education and training. This includes completion of 3 or more years of pre-medical sciences at a University followed by completion of 4 years post-graduate training at an accredited Naturopathic medical school. Every licensed and registered Naturopathic Doctor completes multi-step North American Board and licensing exams and holds good standing by maintaining continuing education credits.

      Naturopathic Medicine relies on 6 principles:

      1. First do no harm (Primum Non Nocere)
      2. The healing power of nature (Vis Mediatrix Naturae)
      3. Identify and treat the cause of disease
      4. Treat the whole person through individualized treatment (Tolle Totum)
      5. The physician as a teacher (Docere)
      6. Prevention is the best cure

      Dr. Keshia Bishop, B.Sc (Hons.), ND Naturopathic Doctor Kitchener

      Naturopath KitchenerDr. Bishop graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2014.  Prior to that, she completed a Bachelor of Science, Honours from the University of Guelph in Nutritional and Nutraceutical Sciences.  She is excited to be apart of the team at the Dronyk Health Clinic as a Naturopathic Doctor.

      Dr. Bishop feels very fortunate to not only have graduated from CCNM and learned an incredible amount of knowledge there but has also had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Dronyk who practiced for over 40 years.  Dr. Dronyk practiced several therapies that are no longer taught in the core curriculum but are extremely beneficial therapies.  Dr. Bishop’s goal is to integrate all modalities and provide the best-individualized treatment for each patient.  What she loves most about naturopathic medicine is the fact that ND’s learn many different treatment approaches.  This allows for truly individualized medicine and the right combination of therapies can be found for your concern.

      Treatment options that Dr. Bishop practices include acupuncture and TCM medicine, Total Body Modification, musculoskeletal manipulation, botanical, homeopathic and nutritional medicine.  She also does natural facial rejuvenation using Qi Beauty, Revitapen, and cosmetic acupuncture.
