An interest in naturopathic medicine and natural healing runs deep in Amrit Devgun’s family. As a child, she remembers her father helping and healing others with homeopathy. “Watching Dad help others was an inspiration and made it easy for me to choose a career in noninvasive, safe and effective natural therapies. I knew that this was exactly what I wanted to do.” Her father in turn was inspired by her great-grandparents who were known as the local community healers back in India.

Amrit moved to Minnesota in 1995, having graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. She had her own practice before joining the Natural Care Center at Woodwinds. Amrit holds a license from the Board of Drugless Therapy-Naturopathy, Ontario, Canada. She is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors and the Minnesota Association of Naturopathic Physicians. As a naturopathic practitioner at the Natural Care Center at Woodwinds, her goal is to empower her patients to take responsibility for their health. “Improvements in health are possible if patients commit to making long-term changes in their lifestyle. In order to do that, they need to take ownership of their lifestyle choices.” She considers herself a health and wellness coach at the Natural Care Center and enjoys practicing in an integrative environment.

Amrit's focus is on ayurvedic medicine, traditional eastern medicine, which she routinely incorporates into her patient consultations. Her other professional interests include women’s health, chronic ailments and endocrine imbalances using ayurvedic medicine, detoxification, homeopathy, botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation, dietary and lifestyle counseling and iridology. Over the last 13 years, she has spoken and written extensively on topics relating to complementary alternative medicine.

Amrit lives in Woodbury with her husband and two daughters. She enjoys dancing, being with nature, traveling, experimental cooking and learning about cultures around the world. As part of her mission towards wellness, she is on the nutrition task force committee at her daughter’s school, hoping to change what we see in our children’s lunchboxes today. When seen at school, some children are heard asking, “Isn’t that the food doctor?”!
