Why We Created Online Classes at Richmond Natural Medicine

At Richmond Natural Medicine, patient education has always been a cornerstone of our whole-person approach to care. We believe that when people understand what’s happening in their bodies, they’re better equipped to make informed decisions, advocate for themselves, and actively participate in their healing journey.

That’s why we created our online classes.

Over the years, we’ve seen a common challenge among both new and established patients: there is often far more information to learn than can fit into a single appointment. Even when patients leave feeling informed and empowered, it’s natural for some of that information to fade over time. We also know that many people are interested in naturopathic medicine and root-cause healthcare, but want to do their homework first, before becoming a patient.

Our online classes were designed to bridge that gap.

These self-paced courses provide evidence-informed education that you can access anytime, from anywhere. They offer a more affordable way to learn about topics we discuss frequently in our practice, while still reflecting the values that guide our clinical care: patient empowerment, root-cause investigation, and a whole-person approach to health.

They’re also a valuable resource for friends and family members who may be curious about naturopathic medicine or looking for trustworthy information.

Learning Beyond the Appointment

While our courses are not a replacement for individualized naturopathic care, they allow us to share foundational concepts and practical tools in greater depth than is often possible during a one-on-one visit. Because you’ll have indefinite access after purchase, you can revisit the material whenever you need a refresher or want to deepen your understanding.

Whether you’re an existing patient looking to reinforce what you’ve learned in the clinic or someone exploring your healthcare options, these courses offer an accessible starting point.

Our Current Course Offerings

Natural Tools for Anxiety

Anxiety is one of the most common concerns we see in practice, yet many people never learn what’s happening physiologically when anxiety arises.

Natural Tools for Anxiety goes beyond symptom management to explore why anxiety occurs and how to work with your body’s natural systems to support greater resilience. Guided by Dr. Leah Hollon and Dr. Chelsea Barranco, this science-backed course provides practical, evidence-informed tools to help regulate stress responses, support the nervous system, and better understand the root causes that may be contributing to anxiety.
