German New Medicine (GNM) is a set of healing principles discovered by German medical doctor Geerd Hamer between the late 1970s until his death in 2017.

The core idea of GNM is that traumas cause the body to respond in primal ways to help us survive. In other words, symptoms that we think of as disease are often attempts by the body to help us, including joint pain, headaches, autoimmune disorders, infections and even cancer. Each symptom relates to a particular trauma.

Dr. Katherine Willow ND. has been practicing since 1983 as a fourth-generation naturopathic doctor via her family in Europe. Her focus is the integration of German New Medicine (GNM) into her practice. In this new paradigm, one can connect biological shocks with conditions and determine whether a person’s symptoms are in the stress or healing phase of the shock.

Another favourite of Dr. Willow’s is old-style naturopathic medicine, which approaches disease with the simplicity of nature cure therapies: sun, air, water, earth and plants. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing complicated cases resolve as a person’s body and mind receive what they need to heal.

Dr. Willow ND. enjoys helping people with: • Aging well and prevention of disease • Allergies • Cancer • Children’s conditions, especially ADHD • Fatigue • Fibromyalgia • Inflammatory conditions • Lyme disease • Weight loss or gain and detoxification • Women’s health

Dr. Willow ND. graduated from National College (now University) of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, in 1983 and is registered with the Canadian College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO).
