Let’s make healthcare work for you
Many health problems are rooted across multiple factors and the causes might not be so obvious. I take an approach that offers a wider view with more time together, so that we can take a deeper look into what your body needs to achieve balance.

What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic Medicine is an approach that takes a holistic view of what are the root causes of symptoms. In this type of medicine, symptoms are information our body is giving us to understand the root cause of a problem. The body naturally can (and wants to!) heal itself. We provide the support your body needs to get back to a natural, healthy state.
Why does Naturopathic Medicine work?
There are three principles to why naturopathic medicine works: listening, removing obstacles, and restoring balance. First, we listen to our patients to understand what obstacles are preventing their body having a healthy balance. From there, we work to remove the obstacles together with natural solutions.
What I Can Help With
Chronic Pain
Does pain keep you from doing things that you want? Is the pain getting worse and you don’t know what to do about it?
Auto-Immunity
Do you have autoimmune flares that you can’t figure out? Do the flares come more often and are hard to get rid of?
Headaches
Are headaches keeping you from doing your best because you cannot think? Is brain fog affecting your ability to work?
Digestive Issues
Do you have to worry about traveling or going places because you’re not sure what your gut will do? Have you tried ‘everything’ and your gut still an issue?
Fatigue
Are you tired of being tired?! Does being tired limit what you can do? Does it take you days to recover from a ‘normal’ activity?
Sensitivities
Are you becoming more and more sensitive to foods, noises, scents or stress? Get nauseous or headaches for no reason? Are you unsure why you are sensitive?
Nutrition Support
Are you confused about what foods to eat or what supplements to take? Confused because health influencers contradict each other?
Drug Alternatives
Are you taking drugs that don’t seem to be working correctly?
Your detective in health
Often times patients have multiple health issues but are unsure what the underlying problem is. Or they have tried multiple treatments but haven’t found an adequate solution.
This is what I specialize in – being your detective in health. I find the root cause by analyzing a myriad of factors and then facilitate making a change together.

How We Work Together
Each person’s treatment is made specifically to them, but it all follows this general structure.
Consult
Everything I do starts with listening and continues through a comprehensive approach that touches many aspects of body, mind, and spirituality.
Treatment
Depending on what you need, I will recommend treatments that could include:
Acupuncture, Massage, Hydrotherapy, Botanical & Nutritional Supplements, and others
On-Going Support
This is what my patients love the most – I’ll be there for you for as long as you need.
Regular check-ins together help us understand what is working and what is not.
What are the benefits of working with you?
- You will receive a plethora of tools and treatment suggestions
- You can take advantage of my expertise in natural medicine, herbs and collagen disorders
- You will get critical thinking to assess your situation and come up with new solutions
- You will get a balanced second opinion
- You will receive lots of support to help you achieve your health goals
- You will feel heard
- You will feel nourished by therapies that work with your body, not against it
- You will feel confident in your healing as your therapies are natural and have few adverse effects
What do I miss if we don’t work together?
- You will get ‘stay in your lane’ care
- Your care won’t incorporate all body systems and may miss important clues
- You will be referred out to specialists who may not see the whole picture
- You will spend lots of time explaining the same thing over and over to different doctors
- You will receive symptom-based care, not holistic care
- You may spend more time and money over time, as the treatments don’t address the root cause

I sought Nadene’s help with neck and back pain. I felt improvement after my first acupuncture experience and it just improved from there. I’ve experienced so many positive benefits from my treatments; better sleep, less pain, and I’ve even seen improved A1c (diabetic indicator) numbers.
Nadene is skilled, intuitive, and kind. She genuinely wants to use her skills to help you in any way possible. I can’t say thank you enough!
