When you'd like someone to look at the bigger picture of your health. Naturopathic doctors are trained to look at the whole person, which means taking the time to understand the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors behind your health. Your first appointment gives us about an hour to talk. It's also the right choice if you want care made for you. No single treatment works for everyone, so you'll leave with a plan built around your health and the way you live.

Both. I prefer to do the first visit in person in Belmont so I can assess you properly. Follow-up appointments can be in person or virtual, so you can keep seeing me from anywhere in Massachusetts.

The first visit is one hour. Follow-ups are 30 or 45 minutes.

I recommend a minimum of three. That gives us time to put your plan in place and adjust it if needed, so you feel clear and comfortable with your long-term plan. After that, I suggest check-ins at six months and at one year to keep you on track. As your symptoms ease, what you need from treatment may change, and the plan can change with it.

It depends on you. Your plan reflects your needs and your short- and long-term health goals. We address your symptoms while working out what's behind them, and I base my recommendations on your medical history, lifestyle, lab results and preferences. Every plan covers the foundations of health: nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management and exposure to environmental toxins. We build it together, and it shifts over time as you do.
