Philosophy
Dr. Louie treats people, not conditions. She works with the whole person taking into account the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual dimensions of a client. Dr. Louie is a strong supporter for prevention and the power of the body and mind to heal itself. She uses natural therapies, acupuncture and lifestyle changes which stimulate the patient’s innate healing processes, rather that drugs which can suppress the symptoms and may have side effects which can interfere with healing.
