About Carol Lourie
Carol Lourie is a dedicated practitioner with over three decades of clinical experience as a Naturopath, Acupuncturist, and Homeopath. The environmental impact of our society has severely impacted women’s health and hormones, and more than ever, women are suffering from hormonal imbalances such as PMS, PCOS, thyroid disturbances, infertility, peri and menopausal difficulties, and even breast cancer.
Restoring hormonal balance involves taking charge of as many aspects of your environment — internal and external — as possible, and the emotional landscape must always be considered for there to be real healing.
After 30 years and thousands of patients, Carol has witnessed how “Healing is always possible.”
