What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than simply managing symptoms. Naturopathic doctors recognize that when the body is given the right conditions to function optimally, it has an innate ability to heal and restore balance. We use the Therapeutic Order—a framework that emphasizes the least invasive, most evidence-informed interventions first—to support your body's natural healing processes while creating the foundation for lasting health.

Do you take insurance?

We are a cash-based practice, allowing us to spend the time needed to truly understand your health and create a personalized plan. However, there are opportunities to explore utilizing FSA/HSA funds for visit fees and supplements as. for patients in FL/IL/MA superbill’s can also be generated to submit to insurance for potential reimbursement. Patient’s have had some luck in IL/FL as we bill for medical nutrition therapy.

What kind of education do naturopathic doctors have?

Licensed Naturopathic Doctors (ND) complete a 4+ year graduate-level medical program, over 1,200 hours of supervised clinical training, and must pass two national licensing examinations. Their education includes biomedical sciences alongside clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and other evidence-informed natural therapies.

At this time our offerings are 100% virtual. We have plans to develop an in person space at some point in 2027.
