Emotional Wellbeing Naturopaths near Hartford County, CT

I treat people of all ages who are interested in healing varied health problems through a comprehensive naturopathic approach that includes extensive laboratory testing for metabolic disorders, food allergies and hypersensitivities. Included in my treatment modalities are individualized healthy diet plans, nutritional and supplemental programs, botanical medicine, homeopathy and the use of physical medicine. I also use hypnotherapy for smoking cessation, weight loss programs, life style changes and other issues. I have had a naturopathic practice for the last 29 years.

Mind. Body. Spirit. The three aspects of what makes each of us who we are – all vitally important to consider and address in the journey toward optimal health. Going beyond treating individual diagnoses, my goal is to step back and examine the whole person. Those three components feed into everything we do and everything we are. Each individual is in a unique place and I work with each person toward their own specific wellness goals.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents with autism, ADHD, and special needs, including behavioral, social, and emotional problems. My goal is to help patients achieve and maintain optimal health. I work to find the root cause of illness instead of merely treating symptoms. I perform a detailed patient intake, comprehensive physical exam, and order and evaluate both conventional and specialty laboratory tests. Treatment plans are developed and adapted to each individual patient with an emphasis on treating the whole person. I actively involve my patients in their treatment, empowering them to achieve and maintain optimal health.

In order to help my patients, I need to know their story. Health problems don't start the first time that a person has a pain, or the first night of insomnia. They started well before that first bout. For example, the problem started long before one develops IBS: IBS is a symptom of the problem. That is why it is so important to take a full history--not just current things but things that may have begun in childhood. So what I do is to listen and ask questions and listen. Once we are both satisfied, we can develop a plan--the goal of which is to help you reach YOUR best state of health.

I believe health comes from being able to identify what the obstacles are to your healing. Whether these are internal imbalances, external toxins or a combination of both, identifying the root is the key to taking your health back. My areas of work include women's hormones and children’s health. In addition to my Naturopathic studies I have a masters in acupuncture. I intertwine these two modalities to give the most comprehensive care to bring the body and mind back to balance. We work as a team to uncover your specific needs as we move towards reaching your health goals.
