Naturopathy is a system of medicine which focuses on the prevention and treatment of illness using natural therapies such as herbal or botanical medicine, clinical nutrition and homeopathy. Naturopaths differ in the degree that they use these modalities depending their personal approach and areas of interest.

Madeleine's approach to natural medicine is evidence-based, using primarily herbal medicine and clinical nutrition as treatments. A healthy lifestyle and diet are also essential components of the naturopathic approach and considered for each patient.
Naturopathy can be used either as an alternative or as complimentary to pharmaceutical drugs and treatments.

Naturopathic medicine aims to support and facilitate the body's natural healing processes. In addition to providing symptomatic relief, we always aim to identify and treat the underlying cause of ill health.
Education and encouraging self-responsibility is also part of the naturopathic approach. The primary goal of a naturopath is to establish and maintain optimum health and wellness. Regardless of the patient's level of health or disease the naturopathic practitioner strives to increase the level of health and wellness.
