Beth Burch N.D.
Naturopathic Physician |
Eclectic Physician describes me and my work well. My training is as
a naturopathic physician and a practical nurse. I use the best of the healing
arts and the medical sciences for each individual I work with. I love working
with people and plants, and that may explain how I came to be trained as
a naturopathic physician. In practice, I chose from a variety of modalities
that ranged from surgery to massage, pharmaceutical drugs to herbs,
psychotherapy to meditation. Often a combination of alternative and conventional
therapies works best to support healing. By using whatever seems most appropriate,
I can best serve each individual. Since 2001, my focus has been on education - teaching students of acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Eclectic also describes my personal viewpoint.
My life is like a patchwork quilt- pieces from a ever growing variety of
experiences, each a bit of what serves and teaches me.
