A Naturopathic doctor attempts to investigate the underlying cause of disease and tailors an individual treatment toward this, rather than a treatment which suppresses symptoms. Naturopathic doctors also focus on disease prevention, self-care and strive to guide their patients towards optimal wellness. Naturopathic doctors will use a blend of centuries-old, natural, and safe therapies along with modern medicine to achieve this goal. Naturopathic doctors are primary care physicians who order labs, perform physical exams, diagnose and treat disease. They consult, interact and refer to all branches of medicine when appropriate.

Office Manager

Originally from Maine, I made the move to Arizona in 2018 and quickly found Nourish to be my home away from home. I’m passionate about supporting small, woman-owned businesses and love being part of a team where growth, connection, and care really matter. When I’m not at work, I enjoy walking and hiking, diving into audiobooks and podcasts, and spending quality time with my husband, two sons, and our three dogs.

Front Desk Admin

As front desk administrator, I enjoy interacting with our wonderful patients daily, and creating an inviting atmosphere for everyone who comes to Nourish. I have a personal interest in herbal medicine and natural healing, so being part of the Nourish team is a perfect fit. Contact me for any existing patient needs or questions! Outside of Nourish, I enjoy being outdoors, identifying native plants, hiking, and exploring all the Southwest has to offer, but equally love spending time at home with my partner and 2 dogs.

Naturopathic Education

Naturopathic education is overseen by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education which has accredited four schools to provide this education in the United States. These schools are:

The medical profession requires that all graduates pass board exams to become licensed in their state to practice medicine. Naturopathic doctors are held to national standards of practice, peer review and continuing education.

All Naturopathic doctors receive education similar to traditional doctors in the diagnosis of disease. It is the investigation of the cause and the treatment of diseases that differ. Although each Naturopathic Doctor will be unique in how they focus their individual therapies, all are educated in: clinical nutrition, homeopathy, physical manipulation, environmental medicine, herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, natural childbirth, pharmacology and minor surgical procedures.
