Dr. Valerie Phillips, N.D.

This is the website and blog for the holistic medical office of Dr. Valerie Phillips, a Naturopathic physician in southern California.  This site is under construction, so please bear with us as we evolve.

The purpose of this site is to educate and inspire us all with regards to the potential of human body in healing.  If you have ever been told “there is nothing more that we can do for you” or “you will need to take this drug for the rest of your life” don’t be discouraged.  There is always room to feel better and be healthier.

Medicine is at a very exciting point in its history. We have access not only to the stunning array of information that is modern science at our fingertips, we are privy to much of the ancient wisdom that has kept humanity thriving throughout the ages. The mission of modern holistic integrative medicine is to synthesize these powerful systems and help people to live long, healthy and vibrant lives.

It is my favorite thing to see people with chronic disease, discomfort and pain start to shed that burden when they start to make the specific changes that I suggest to them.

Naturopathic Doctors are the wave of the future.  We are rigorously trained in a 4 year long course to address your health on many levels.  We are Primary care physicians, Nutritionists, Massage therapists, Herbalists, Homeopaths and Counselors.  I often describe the profession as similar to what doctors were before HMOs and the Pharmaceutical Industry.  Doctors who take the time to really know you and your family. It takes time work health promoting lifestyle changes into our often chaotic daily lives.
