- Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.)
Naturopathic Medicine is a unique and comprehensive approach to improving health and addressing illness. Focusing on prevention and using natural approaches, naturopathic doctors (ND's) support and stimulate the body's ability to heal itself. The primary goal of naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of illness, rather than simply treat or suppress symptoms. The patient is seen as a whole person and the ND takes the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions into account when making an assessment and developing strategies for recovery of health.
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) helps people detect and reprogram unconscious patterns of thought and behavior in order to alter psychological responses and enhance the healing process. NLP has provided positive results on people suffering from various conditions, including AIDS, cancer, allergies, arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and migraine headaches.

Nia is an expressive, barefooted, dance/fitness practice developed by Debbie and Carlos Rosas. It addresses fitness as well as the unique and ever-changing needs of your thinking and feeling body. Nia, Neuromuscular Integrative Action, is designed to help you discover the transformational power of body/mind integration through joyful movement. Nia's instructor-led choreography invites individuals to be creative and playful, as well as introspective and centered. Nia draws on aspects of Martial Arts, Aikido, Yoga, T'ai Chi, Dance and other body integration therapies.
- Nutrition
Nutritionists use diet as therapy. They determine a patient's individual nutritional requirements as well as whether he or she has food allergies. Nutritionists then provide specific dietary guidelines and food supplements, such as vitamins and minerals, to be taken at regular intervals over a long period of time in the maintenance of health and treatment of disease. Many common conditions can be treated effectively by dietary measures.
