Naturophoria's Core Values

At Naturophoria, the primary goal is to identify and address the root causes and influences behind skin conditions rather than just treating the symptoms.  With a naturopathic perspective, the emphasis is placed on prioritizing bio-individuality and acknowledging that each client presents unique skin concerns.

Comprehensive consultations and evaluation methods are necessary to realize the biological dynamics in preparation for a personalized program tailored to each individual's needs. Adopting a functional approach creates a pathway to achieve progressive benchmarks while monitoring and re-evaluating the products, home care, and services provided.  Advanced technologies, techniques, innovative cosmetic formulations, and lifestyle coaching are fundamental pillars of sustainable skincare.

The Skin Wellness Model

Do No Harm

Our lifestyle choices and actions play a significant role in our health and well-being. Health is a vital dynamic state that allows a person to thrive and adapt to various environments and stresses. It is much more than just the absence of disease. Proactively avoiding harmful health determinants such as chemicals, processed foods, smoking, and alcohol can greatly benefit your health.

Lifestyle Investments

Invest in your personal wellness plan by following sound health principles and prioritizing self-care. Self-care is a natural decision-making process that involves both the prevention and management aspects of wellness. Key components include healthy eating, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, emotional well-being, and support from your healthcare providers. These elements are crucial for making long-term health investments.

Listen to Your Body

Healthy Skin Factors

Healthy Skin Factors

The saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" reflects a philosophy commonly embraced by naturopaths. It emphasizes the importance of taking proactive steps to improve your lifestyle rather than waiting for a minor condition to develop into a more serious illness. Subtle symptoms can often serve as signals from the body indicating that a need for balance is present.

CORNEOTHERAPY

  • Corneotherapy is a philosophy and skin treatment methodology with its core principle being the repair and maintenance of the skin barrier defense systems.
  • It is now widely understood that the outer layer of corneocytes of the stratum corneum is a biologically active cellular tissue. 
  • U.S. dermatologist Dr. Albert Kligman and his partners discovered that the stratum corneum, and the lipid barrier that keeps it intact, play a significant role in skin health; it can send many signals to the underlying living epidermis and influences the regenerative processes in deeper layers of the skin.
  • This understanding of skin health, along with appropriate interventions and topical treatments is an ensemble of therapies that Dr. Kligman labelled "Corneotherapy".

  • The principles of Corneotherapy can also be applied not just for the correction of skin conditions but for the supportive prevention of skin problems; the prevention of premature skin aging is an inherent outcome of this approach.
  • A key principle of Corneotherapy is to keep the epidermis intact at all times, with the therapeutic actions working inward from the outer layers of the epidermis. 
  • This approach of retaining the integrity of the epidermis ensures the skin's defense and immune systems are not stimulated unnecessarily.
  • The correct application of Corneotherapeutic principles has been shown to restore homeostasis and improve the function of the skin, protecting against harmful substances and microorganisms that can trigger skin conditions.

  • There are many skin conditions that initially present with a compromised or defective stratum corneum and all have the ability to trigger continual inflammatory responses of the innate and adaptive immune systems.  
  • This inflammation is the precursor to premature skin aging and many of the more serious skin conditions prevalent today.
  • Unfortunately, many of the more popular but rudimentary skin treatment philosophies remove the first two lines of skin barrier defenses by chemical or mechanical methods and often trigger already depleted defense systems in the skin that are not in optimal health, compounding the anomalous conditions.

A key principle of Corneotherapy is to keep the epidermis intact at all times, with the therapeutic actions working from the outer layers of the epidermis inward. This approach of retaining the integrity of the epidermis ensures the skin's defense and immune systems are not stimulated unnecessarily.

  • The methodology of Corneotherapy requires a greater understanding of the skin than established esthetics and beauty therapy training provides. Its focus is repairing and maintaining the skin barrier defense systems rather than simply applying moisturizers.  
  • The goal of the Corneotherapist is to address the cause of the skin conditions, not merely treat the symptoms. For treatments to be successful with corneotherapy, a precise diagnosis of the skin must be made, and an investigation of the contributing factors to the prevailing conditions must be conducted.

THE OBSERV™- ADVANCED SKIN ANALYSIS

SKIN ASSESSMENT IN HIGH DEFINITION


  • This advanced skin analysis system offers in-depth diagnosis of the skin at both the epidermal and dermal layers using skin fluorescence technology. 
  • It plays a crucial role in developing skin treatments, confirming product recommendations, and educating clients about their skin concerns. 
  • As human skin cells emit visible light, the OBSERV device leverages a specialized light format combined with digital photography to reveal the surface and subsurface characteristics and patterns of the skin.

A JOURNEY BEYOND THE SURFACE

  • The OBSERV™ device provides integral details regarding pigmentation, vasculatory, keratinization disorders, sebaceous gland activity, defining an impaired skin barrier, disrupted pore health or areas of inflammation. 
  • Additionally,  different signs of skin aging ranging from the formation of wrinkles, the increase of skin surface roughness, loss of radiance and the loss of skinintegrity amy be interpreted.

Our Genes Tell A Story

Our Genes Tell A Story

Our Genes Tell A Story

 Recent advancements in genomics (genetic testing) and bioinformatics have led to the discovery of links between specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and skin properties. SNPs are naturally occurring variations in a person's DNA, and an individual typically has about 4 to 5 million SNPs in their genome. Some variations may be unique to individuals, while others can be found in many people. Researchers have identified over 100 million SNPs across global populations. As modern genetics is a rapidly advancing field, our understanding of genetics has led to the remarkable discovery that all humans share over 99% of their DNA. It is the less than 1% variation that makes each of us unique from one another. 

DNA Skin Testing

Our Genes Tell A Story

Our Genes Tell A Story

Skin DNA testing analyzes specific genetic markers related to various skin conditions, allergies, nutritional needs, susceptibility to aging, moisture levels, texture, and more. 

By understanding your skin's genetic makeup, a skin DNA test helps you anticipate how your skin will react in different situations, allowing you to adjust your skincare routine accordingly.

Connecting the Data

While human genetics is often associated with hereditary disorders and disease predisposition, this discovery emphasizes that no single skincare approach will be practical for everyone. This evaluation aims to clarify these commonly held beliefs and provide insights into important questions regarding your skin’s health and appearance.

HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis

Providing a mineral blueprint of one's biochemistry, a hair tissue mineral analysis can provide pertinent information about one's metabolic rate, energy levels, and stage of stress.

A hair tissue mineral analysis is considered a standard test used around the world for the biological monitoring of trace elements and toxic metals in humans and animals species. 

Test results are printed on an easy-to-read graph. We order the booklet format of the HTMA results that provides a great deal of educational information based on your profile.  This is a great benefit for both the practitioner and the client. The printed graph includes the mineral results, major mineral ratios and the oxidation type.

The Synergy & Balance

A hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) simply stated, is a screening test that measures the mineral content of your hair. However, a hair tissue mineral analysis is much more than a test for minerals. The balance and ratios of minerals in the body are a just a part of balancing wellness and healthy lifestyle.

Precious Minerals

Why Amethyst?

  •  Amethyst is the only substance which clearly changes the spectrum of infrared light. 


  • The refraction of the amethyst crystal actually elongates the infrared light wave, transforming it into a long wave infra-red or far infrared wave.


  • Recently it has been discovered that the violet color is attributed to certain iron constituents in connection with a naturally occurring ability to store and radiate light over time.


  • Amethyst is a strong emit-ter of Far Infrared Rays (FIR). The long wave lengths of the FIR give amethyst the ability to penetrate deep into organic materials, including human tissues. 


What are Negative Ions?

What are Negative Ions?

  • An ion is a particle containing an electrical charge. An ion with a negative electrical charge is called a negative ion. Negative ions play a crucial role in everything from how our bodies function to how the universe is structured. 


  • This type of ion is now considered to be integral to healthy cellular function. If there are enough negative ions inside and outside the cell, the cell is able to absorb nutrients and eliminate waste product more effectively.  


  • Flooding the body with negative ions enriches it at the cellular level and encourages the elimination of toxins and oxidants.
