Naturopathic Medicine is the treatment and prevention of diseases by natural means.
Naturopathic Doctors assess the whole person, taking into consideration physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual. Gentle, non-invasive techniques are generally used in order to stimulate the body’s inherent healing capacity towards optimal wellness.
Individualized protocols are developed according to each individual’s unique health goals with a focus on root cause and integrated into current medical protocols.
Dr. Marier draws upon his connection to his Métis heritage incorporating philosophy and ceremony into individual healing protocols. He believes that addressing the root cause of dis-ease includes a deep and thorough look at the psycho-spiritual adverse events of a person’s history, including inter-generational and lateral trauma and stressors. He helps patients find healing through gentle therapies, education and support, and their connection to nature. He has received an Ontario Spirit Award from the Government of Canada for his medical relief efforts, and has twice been nominated for the Dr. Rogers Prize for Excellence in Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
