Our philosophy… it’s all connected
We understand that the body is an interconnected system where symptoms are often widows into deeper imbalances.
We embrace all aspects of medicine and use the modalities that best suit our patients’ needs. Dr. Ghormley’s vast medical experience allows her to pull first-hand knowledge from many modalities to inform her individualized treatment plan

We strive to empower patients through education, investigating the underlying cause of their issue, disease or illness and strongly advocating for preventative measures. We believe the dressing Pediatric issues helps build a strong condition for children to move through their developmental years into adulthood.
Slow Medicine
Slow medicine isn’t just about fixing what’s broken; it’s about nurturing health and resilience so your family can thrive. It’s about cultivating a deeper understanding of your body and mind and empowering you to create a healthier future together.
This philosophy of care emphasizes a deep understanding of the whole person – their physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual health – within the context of their family and community. It’s about slowing down to truly listen, observe, and collaborate with patients to develop personalized, holistic treatment plans.
Through this compassionate and empowering approach we recognize that each family is unique, with its own rhythms, challenges, and strengths. As a naturopathic practice, we partner with families to uncover the root causes of health concerns, rather than just treating symptoms. This might involve exploring lifestyle factors, nutrition, environmental influences, and even family dynamics.
Here’s what slow medicine looks like in our practice:
Unhurried visits
We take the time to get to know your family, your concerns, and your goals. This allows for a thorough assessment and a deeper connection.
Family-centered care
We recognize the interconnectedness of family health. We often involve multiple family members in discussions and treatment plans, understanding that everyone plays a role in each other’s well-being.
Focus on prevention
We emphasize healthy habits, nutrition, and lifestyle choices that support long-term wellness for the whole family.
Integrative therapies
We utilize a wide range of naturopathic and conventional medicine therapies such as naturopathic manipulative adjustments, botanical medicine, nutraceuticals and drug repurposing to name a few to help find balance and address health concerns gently and effectively.
Collaboration
We work with you as a team, empowering you to make informed decisions about your family’s health and actively participate in your healing journey.
We encourage our patients to actively participate in their healthcare.
We’re passionate about including parents in the journey and seeing them as active participants and advocates for their children. Through dedicated time, education and collaboration, we empower parents to act from a place of knowledge and confidence to care for their children.
Our goal is to treat each patient in an individualized manner, empower patients through education, investigate the underlying cause of their issue, disease or illness, and strongly advocate preventive measures.
We believe that addressing pediatric issues helps to build a strong foundation for a child to move through their developmental years and into adulthood.
