What Is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a regulated form of health care that blends natural medicine with modern diagnostic tools. Primarily, it focuses on supporting the body’s self-healing abilities while addressing the root of health concerns.
Naturopathy is guided by a few core principles. Namely:
- Treating the root cause. Not just the symptoms
- Supporting the whole person (i.e. body, mental health, and lifestyle)
- Mainly using the least invasive and most effective natural therapies
Licensed naturopathic doctors are trained health care professionals who are often educated through institutions such as the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Their training includes diagnosis, lab tests, and a wide range of naturopathic treatments.
Some of the common tools they use in practice include:
- Nutrition and dietary support
- Botanical medicine and herbal remedies
- Lifestyle counseling and stress management
- Acupuncture and hydrotherapy
- Blood work and other lab testing

Our Naturopathic Approach at Araya Health
At Araya Health, our naturopathic approach has been developed over many years in the industry. It includes:
Comprehensive Assessment & Root-Cause Discovery
The first thing we try to do is understand the full picture. Our naturopathic doctors spend time reviewing a patient’s health history, lifestyle, diet, and symptoms. They may also perform lab tests or blood work to uncover underlying issues that aren’t immediately obvious.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s needs. It may include:
- Nutritional guidance and diet changes
- Herbal and nutritional supplements
- Lifestyle adjustments and stress management strategies
- Referrals to other services, like acupuncture or rehabilitation therapies
The focus is very much on creating a plan that works with the patient’s lifestyle and their body’s healing power.
Collaborative, Ongoing Support
We recommend follow-up visits because they enable us to make adjustments as your treatment progresses. All our patients receive ongoing support and are encouraged to build healthier habits to improve their well-being.
What to Expect at Your First Naturopathic Visit
A first visit to our naturopathic clinic is more detailed than you may expect.
During the session, the doctor will:
- Review health history, symptoms, and lifestyle factors
- Discuss concerns such as diet, stress, and sleep
- Recommend lab tests if needed
- Provide initial treatment recommendations
The aim is for our patients to leave with a clearer understanding of their health and how they can improve it moving forward.

Posted on Google Veronika Quintana-JamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been seeing Chris since I think 2018! Best in the game. I follow him wherever he goes. Where u live now it takes me an hour and a half to see him but it’s worth it. I saw different massage therapists before but it just isn’t the same!Posted on Google Badhan HoqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience with Christopher! Cannot wait to return.Posted on Google Ricky ChenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I always leave my appointment satisfied with the treatment. Thanks Kevin!Posted on Google Melissa HuangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dealing with chronic back pain for over a decade, I've explored numerous practitioners—chiropractors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, and massage therapists. Without a doubt, Chris has been a game-changer, offering unparalleled relief. I'm not just feeling better, I'm genuinely excited to reclaim my active lifestyle. Chris is phenomenal at what he does, and his outstanding character is the cherry on top. If you're yearning for real improvement and recovery, I enthusiastically rate him 10/10. Give him a shot and witness the transformation for yourself!Posted on Google Leeza YoganathanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris has been so helpful with my chronic neck and shoulder pain. He takes the time to get to the root of the problem and reminds you that massages can be more beneficial when you focus on release rather than just relaxation. If you are struggling with pain, I highly suggest visiting Araya Health. I have faith in my pain being gone soon, and I am looking forward to feeling confident again!Posted on Google Americo RizzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Magnificent place, they treated my chronic pain and heal the injuriesPosted on Google Martin HoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the best place I've gone for a massage! Went in for their 45 min and Chris went straight to work! Asking very torough questions about my background and previous health treatment. Was expecting a full body massage however as he started he realized I needed a targeted massage that day(upper back + neck). Released a lot of tension and slept a lot better that night. Highly recommend this place! - a BC resident
