In 1998, after a career in PR & journalism – and due to circumstances, Isabelle Grote started on the long path of qualifications to become the naturopathic doctor she is today. It started – and was supposed to finish with – remedial massage and then she found that patients required more and more help. So another qualification was added and then another, until the whole person could be looked at and given the appropriate help. This included going abroad for training (eg. the specialist scoliosis therapy and the neural pain therapy), if it was not available in the UK. Finally in 2009, she qualified as a Doctor of Naturopathy. 

Naturopathy is a distinct system of healing  – a philosophy, science, art and practice, which seeks to promote health by stimulating the body’s inherent powers to regain harmony and balance. It regards as self-evident laws: 

1) only nature heals, providing it is given the opportunity to do so; 

2) let food be your medicine and medicine your food; 

3) disease is an expression of purification; 

4) all disease is one. 

Neural Pain Therapy 

Is a therapy, which makes use of injecting very low doses of a local anaesthetic into certain areas of the body.
