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.

Craniosacral Therapy Naturopaths
What is craniosacral therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is an alternative therapy modality that utilizes gentle touch and massage to the skull, spine, and pelvis to promote healing. It is often used as a modality to treat conditions like migraines, chronic pain, and stress. It differs from traditional massage therapy due to its focus on the head and spine, specifically, and is thought to work through the rebalancing of cerebral spinalfluid—which bathes the brain and spinal cord—rather than in the alleviation of tight muscles and joints. While there is limited clinical data on the efficacy of craniosacral therapy in eliminating neurologic conditions on its own, its generally gentle and noninvasive approach makes it an attractive adjunct treatment option for individuals looking for potential additional treatment options and/or those who have not found success with other interventions for their pain.
