So part of this trip to Haiti was to be used as a time to be able to move forward with some things in regards to Naturopaths Without Borders (NWB). We have been working on figuring out what our role in the global and public health arena as well as within the Haitian medical world. I think every day we are closer to figuring out where we fit in the grand scheme of it all. I was beyond ecstatic to be able to be here in Haiti with all the other board members of NWB! All of us in one place at one time was A-mazing and worth all the financial sacrifices and the stress of putting together a large student trip and getting all of us down here at the same time. We were able to expose Dr. Geyer to all of the things we have been filling her in about for the last year and she was able to experience what running a clinic day feels like first hand. There is no substitute for the actual hands on learning experience you get when you come down here and I know it has given us all a better understanding of what direction we want to go in.
NWB is an organization invested in working to bring health care to those in need and to also work on the determinants of health and creating a sustainable model of care that includes a co-op style clinic that will work towards empowering the community and creating a better basis for preventative care and overall health. Easier said than done here in Haiti but we are in talks to work with an amazing Haitian Physician who will be able to work on the frontline with support and resources from us while we continue to educate the community, see patients, and hopefully one day train community health workers to be able to bridge the wide gap that is so present between doctors/hospitals/clinics and the community. There is so much hope in my heart for all of these wonderful prospective projects! Stay tuned for more info regarding NWB and our work in Haiti.

Well truly said naturopathy itself is a natural healing medicine which helps to cure the defects of the body by using proper nutrition, body treatments and herbal tonics.

That is what we are doing as we provide Massage near Freshwater to all the people of the world and take their opinion about the treatment given to them.
The sensation depends upon the fear of of a person because some patients are very much sensitive and they want to feel the pain so they always think about the pain and when they think a lot about the prick so they feel pain but some people who have experienced the therapy before just come and Physiotherapy North Ryde with the healthy by and they understand that how much effective the therapy is for them.
