MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR, STEVE SCHECHTER,
N.D., H.H.P.
With heartfelt joy and care, we welcome you to our
college, clinic and health products center—our
community Natural Healing Institute of Naturopathy,
Inc. (NHI).
I grew up wanting to become the best doctor I could.
While in pre-medicine, I passionately dedicated my
life to being a comprehensive Naturopathic Doctor,
holistic health practitioner and renaissance metaphysician.
I have trained thousands of students who are now licensed
and certified therapists and, since 1977, frequently
speak with large audiences across the U.S. and the
world.
NHI is a culmination of my dreams and passions; and,
with everyone’s excellent input, is growing well
beyond expectations. We invite you to become a part
of expanding our mission, services and our community.
Below is our mission statement reflecting our values,
principles and intentions. We are committed to creating
a community of instructors, therapists, staff, clients
and students or learners cultivating the highest standards
of holistic health and healing.
The word doctor comes from the Latin word meaning
to teach. A true doctor is also a teacher—teaching
clients how to heal themselves, prevent disease and
generate optimal health. Healing includes yet goes beyond
curing people’s bodies. It is about empowering
people to heal their lives. Illness and injury can prompt
us to look carefully at ourselves and our lives. They
can also help us to better appreciate the preciousness
of life and health. How have we been using our bodies?
What have we been doing with our lives? What is our
true mission in this world?
A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, ignites a heart,
and inspires a spirit. We commit to helping each other
live, grow, teach, and heal with joy, with appreciation,
and with reverence for life's magnificent and magical
forces.
We enjoy helping you find and do your life's work
- the work of your heart.
Steve
