Where do we go from here? Healing the Terrain

It is vital that we understand and support our own individual terrains and that of our families, communities, and larger world. So much has come to light showing our strengths and the areas that so desperately need our attention in order to live in harmony with one another and our world. Knowing ourselves, meeting our needs, knowing our core values and choosing action every day in alignment with our true nature are keys to thriving!

As I sit gazing out the 8th floor window of San Diego’s downtown library, overlooking construction to the harbor, alight with sail boats, sun sparkling off the blue ocean water, I can feel the imposed silence on the room.

WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING…

LAURA

“Dr. Chadwick was my first experience with the world of Naturopathy. I was driven to seek alternative care for a chronic problem which no one in the world of Western Medicine had been able to offer me any tools for managing. Within six months of my work with Dr. Chadwick my symptoms were well under control. Not only did I regain a sense of agency and trust in my body’s natural healing ability but I found a deeply capable and gifted practitioner in whom I could trust with my life story.

Not only is she meticulous in her line of inquiry and treatment options, she offers a sophisticated point of view and a refined capacity for looking at challenges from many angles. She takes her time and allows for that most golden of all human offerings, the source of healing: a listening heart.”

LESLEY

“I came to Dr. Amy frustrated and a bit on the defense. I had been through years of tests that indicated I had adrenal fatigue, problems with my digestive tract, and other common diagnosis’s in the naturopathic world. No matter what treatment approach I followed, I didn’t improve. I became more and more hopeless and desperate. I felt disconnected from myself, my joy, and my power. I have a strong intuition and Dr. Amy let me bring that to every encounter. Because she saw me as empowered and as my own healer, I became supported by her on the medical side as well as the mental and emotional. Her unique approach to healing was the missing ingredient for me, as she was able to pinpoint all of the missing pieces that the other doctors didn’t see. Honestly, she blew my mind! By working at the most core level of the problem, I have a body that is working better than it has in probably 20 years! I cannot recommend Dr. Amy enough. I not only found a doctor, I found a wise woman of counsel, and a friend.”

“Having just finished one year under Dr. Chadwick's care, I am glad to have been under her professional guidance regarding my health issues. I have been dealing with chronic indigestion, malabsorption, bloating, low energy, low cortisol, fatigue, and thyroid/adrenal issues for a number of years.

Her unique blood analysis and training I found to be rare among past physicians I have visited. I admired her ability to explore the underlying mental/psychological as well as physical roots of my imbalances.

During the year I broke out with Shingles on my face and Dr. Chadwick prescribed a specific protocol that eliminated the problem within the first two weeks. The condition has not returned to date. I was so relieved.”
