As a Vermont licensed naturopathic doctor, I provide primary care services for patients, including annual adult and well woman exams, lab testing, and referrals. My approach to treatment is holistic, addressing the whole person and the underlying cause of presenting health concerns. Although I work with a variety of common diagnoses like hypertension and hypothyroidism, my niche is in chronic disease and mental health. I believe the body produces symptoms for a reason. I strive to identify the underlying causes of those symptoms and guide the body back into an environment where it can heal itself.

Nutrition Naturopaths
Do naturopaths offer nutrition counseling?
Many naturopaths do offer nutrition counseling. In fact, those credentialed as naturopathic doctors (NDs) receive specialized training in nutrition as part of their 4-year training curriculum in naturopathic medicine. Traditional naturopaths with less formal training may vary substantially in their knowledge of nutrition. However, in general, naturopathy encourages the use of lifestyle interventions, such as diet, as an alternative to medication intervention, thus rendering many naturopaths particularly interested in the topic of nutrition. Some naturopaths may adhere to a specific nutritional philosophy, such as only consuming unprocessed foods, while others may see food as an adjunct to other lifestyle interventions, such as physical exercise and herbal supplementation. When searching for a naturopath, therefore, clients should consider their own therapeutic goals and comfort level with various nutrition interventions, as well as the credentials of the specific naturopathic practitioner.
