## About Dr. Rachel Sawires

Dr. Rachel Sawires

Naturopathic Doctor & Certified Bowen Therapist

Founder / CEO

My journey to naturopathic medicine began when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. This experience revealed the power of treating the whole person and addressing the root causes of health concerns. As your naturopath, I partner with you to identify barriers to wellness and provide personalized, achievable recommendations. My approach empowers you to make informed choices that enhance both health and quality of life.

I'm committed to guiding, educating, and inspiring you through the journey of reconnecting with yourself and your natural healing abilities.

## Principles of naturopathic medicine

Naturopathic doctors base their work on the following principles.

01

The doctor and the patient are partners who carry out the treatment together.

02

The mental state of the patient is just as important as the physical state.

03

The human body is capable of maintaining health and healing itself, but conditions must be created for this.

04

The holistic approach, which involves working not just with the disease, but also looking for the cause.

05

The basis of health is the balanced functioning of the body’s 4 systems: the nervous, hormonal, excretory and immune systems.

06

The uniqueness of each patient. Each patient must be treated on an individual basis, taking into account not only his or her state of health, but also life circumstances, emotional background, etc.

07

Prevention is the basis of health.

08

All remedies are drawn from nature.

09

Food should not only provide nutrition, but also cleanse the body.

10
The complex use of several forms of treatment, with each being chosen individually for each patient.
