their wellness goals by addressing the whole per- son—the body, mind and spirit. Disease begins in the spirit, then moves to the mind, and finally to the body. Every physical illness has a cause, and it can be related to a habit, a relationship, one's environment, one's thoughts and feelings, one’s heredity and role models growing up, one's lack of connection to others, to God, to life. Exploring the whole person is essential to learning how to help a per- son improve his/her life and become more peaceful and at ease, thus removing his/ her dis-ease. When the spirit is damaged, often when we are in a vulnerable place (such as when we are children or when we suffer a trauma), the mind tries to ex- plain it and creates a story. We then modify our behavior to accommodate the story, in order to survive. Years later, we don't need the story anymore, but we are creatures of habit. We keep it, and it no longer serves us. In fact, our old stories can lead us down the path to ruin! Natural coaching refers to using only

as powerful drugs or chemicals, surgeries or other similarly harsh treatments. Rather, the treatments that provide the most help with the least amount of harmful side ef- fects are gently and frequently applied and help us heal gradually. These include a healthy diet and nutrition, clean air and water, access to sunlight, exercise and rest, healthy relationships, positive thinking, meaningful work, a life's purpose, a con- nected spirituality. Just as it takes us a long time to develop disease, it takes time to undo it. Patience and acceptance of our hurting, damaged selves is part of the heal- ing process.
This Sounds a Bit Like Naturopathy Naturopathy refers to the way humans actually heal
best...gently, naturally, and holistically, from the inside out, addressing the body, mind, and spirit. Traditional naturopathy focuses on a careful and thor- ough consideration of the causes of illness and how to remove them. Traditional na-
turopathy advocates sim- ple, natural, and safe methods such as changes to diet and nutrition, ex- ercise and rest, relation- ships, and stress manage- ment, and incorporates auxiliary methods such as
herbs, bodywork, fasting, and meditation.
What are Some of Naturopathy’s Guiding Principles? 1. The Healing Power of Nature - Trust in the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself.
2. Identify and Treat the Causes - Look beyond the symptoms to the underlying cause. 3. First Do No Harm - Utilize the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies. 4. Doctor as Teacher - Educate patients in the steps to achieving and maintaining health. 5. Treat the Whole Person - View the body as an integrated whole in all its physical and spiritual dimensions. 6. Prevention - Focus on overall health, wellness and disease prevention.
