In this episode I interview Dr. Louise Edwards. Dr. Lou is a graduate of National College of Naturopathic Medicine, 1988 and the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, 1989. She had a full time private practice in Durango, CO until 2005 when she chose to primarily focus on teaching and writing.
Dr. Edwards was an adjunct faculty member at National University of Health Sciences (since 2006) and Bastyr University (since 2000). She teaches Naturopathic Philosophy, Case Analysis and Case Management, Intro to Counseling, as well as Cell Salts, Oriental Medicine and Practice Management. She also taught in the clinic at NUHS.
Dr. Edwards has presented at the AANP annual conference 3 times, twice for the Beaumont Hospital Integrative Medicine conference, several times at the Chicago Medical student Integrative conferences and most recently at the opening conference for NUNM Spirituality and Healing Institute. She has been a frequent speaker at The Naturopathic Gatherings and Revitalization/Revival Retreats.
She had a full time private practice at Namaste Health Center, in Durango, CO from 1990 until 2005. Dr. Edwards’ practice is a general, family practice which is rooted in traditional naturopathic and Oriental principles of re-establishing the basis for health by correcting the underlying imbalances. In addition, the modalities that she uses most often are nutrition, homeopathy, Western and Chinese herbs manipulation, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, counseling, compassion and education.
She has had a life long interest in spirituality and the capacities of human consciousness, has studied many spiritual traditions and has integrated that interest into her medical practice and classes. She has twice presented on “Spirituality, the Science and Clinical Application” at the annual AANP conventions and several times as a guest lecturer at San Francisco State University.
Dr. Edwards in a founding member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP), served on the AANP board for 3 years as Chair for unlicensed states and for 15 years in the House of Delegates. She received the AANP’s “Vis Award” in 2011 and in 2021 was given the “Benedict and Louisa Lust Award” for lifetime achievement.
