Frequently Asked Questions

A naturopathic doctor (ND) is a healthcare professional who specializes in natural, holistic approaches to healing. We focus on treating the root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. Naturopathic doctors use a variety of natural therapies, including nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle changes, and mind-body techniques, to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

As a naturopathic doctor, I work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique health concerns, such as gut health, hormonal imbalances, and chronic conditions like IBS and PCOS. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to take control of your health and achieve long-term wellness.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary healthcare system that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The principles of naturopathic medicine are based on holistic approaches that emphasize the body's inherent ability to heal and maintain itself. Here are some key aspects:

1. Holistic Approach: Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat the whole person, considering the physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and spiritual factors affecting health.

2. Prevention and Education: Emphasis is placed on preventive care and patient education. NDs work with patients to develop healthy lifestyle habits to prevent illness and promote optimal health.

3. Natural Therapies: Treatment methods may include nutritional counseling, botanical medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and, when necessary, prescription medications.

4. Individualized Care: Each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique health needs and circumstances.

5. Root Cause Focus: NDs seek to identify and treat the underlying causes of illness rather than just addressing symptoms.

Naturopathic medicine is suitable for a wide range of health issues, from acute conditions to chronic illnesses. It can be used alongside conventional treatments or as a standalone approach, depending on the patient's needs.

*I work 100% online

I offer 100% virtual consultations, which means I can work with clients from anywhere in the world! Whether you’re in the U.S. or abroad, we can connect and work together to address your health concerns.

However, I am licensed in Arizona, so I can only order labs for patients residing in AZ. For clients outside of Arizona, I can still recommend specific labs and create personalized treatment recommendations based on your health needs, and we’ll work together to ensure you get the support you need wherever you are.

I’m happy to work with clients virtually no matter where you’re located! While I can only order labs for patients in Arizona, I can still provide personalized guidance, recommend labs for you to get locally, and create customized plans to help you reach your health goals. We’ll work together to ensure you get the support you need, wherever you are!

To ensure that you receive the most appropriate care, we offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation. During this consultation, I will be able to assess your needs and recommend the best appointment type for you.

Schedule your free consultation HERE.

We look forward to helping you determine the most suitable appointment to address your concerns.

Unfortunately, I do not accept insurance for our appointments, as many insurance companies do not fully cover naturopathic doctors. However, if you live in Arizona, we can work together to help get your lab costs covered through your insurance.

Alternatively, you are welcome to receive services from us on a self-pay basis. We can provide you with a detailed invoice that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

Due to the nature of our one-on-one appointments and the time required to prepare for each session, we have a specific policy in place.

Cancellation Policy:

1. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment time.

2. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment or do not show up, we are unable to offer a refund.

This policy allows us to manage our schedule effectively and ensure that we can provide the best possible care to all of our patients.

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please contact our office as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

This depends on the complexity and type of follow-up you are doing. Acute homeopathic follow-ups occur 2-3 days after the initial intake, whereas a chronic homeopathic intake follow-up is typically 4-6 weeks. Overall, the follow-ups are tailored to each person and their needs.

Homeopathy is a natural healing system based on the principle that "like cures like." It involves using highly diluted substances derived from plants, minerals, or animals to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The goal of homeopathy is to restore balance to the body and mind by addressing the root cause of illness rather than just treating symptoms.

Homeopathy works well for both chronic conditions and acute issues, such as colds, injuries, and flare-ups. Homeopathic remedies are tailored to the individual, considering their specific symptoms, health history, and emotional state. It’s a gentle and holistic approach that supports the body’s ability to heal itself, whether dealing with long-term health challenges or temporary conditions.
