Naturopathic medicine focuses on the identification and treatment of the causes of illness while attending to the relief and management of acute and ongoing symptoms. Dr. Love's general practice takes a patient centered approach that builds upon the fundamentals of diet, exercise and stress reduction using botanical, homeopathic and nutritional medicines for health restoration, wellness and disease prevention. Her wholistic philosophy emphasizes the concepts of body, mind and spirit to empower each patient with information and therapies to facilitate her/his personal journey towards health and well being.
