Dr. Shah’s Background

Dr. Shah was brought to Naturopathic Medicine through love for homeopathy. Dr. Shah specializes in Homeopathy, Ayurveda, and Clinical Nutrition. For her, health is a re-balancing of energy patterns in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. A physical symptom, no matter how seemingly menial, is most often a reflection of a deeper underlying issue—which through the body, the mind is trying to bring one’s attention to. A physical symptom is a sign of an energetic imbalance or a block of free energy flow in the body. In this space, healing does not equal curing. Curing is generally a superficial, physical level response of disappearing symptoms (or in a lot of cases, suppression of symptoms). On the other hand, healing is a process in which the patient’s commitment and motivation, along with help from a competent life coach/ doctor/ healer, allow the patient to realize a state of body-mind-spirit balance. On this level, although the ‘physical’ symptoms disappear in time, the patient feels healthier, livelier, and more in balance. Also, the patient will have gained knowledge about maintaining this balance through listening to one’s body-mind-spirit rather than finding a new pill to pop for every ‘new’ symptom that manifests in one’s life.
