I help my patients find the root cause of their disease or symptoms, and provide an individualized approach to treatment based on their unique needs. I specifically work with a lot of hormonal issues including menstrual pain or irregularities, PCOS, and fertility issues as well as digestive issues including bloating, constipation, diarrhea, Irritable Bowel, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, food sensitivities, and more. With the right tools, testing, and proper evaluation, it is possible to get the answers that we need so you can feel good, have more energy, and live a pain-free life.

I want to help you get better. Through my own health struggles I found the value of integrative medicine. I suffered for a long time with Crohn's Disease, an autoimmune disease, and improved greatly with the help of a naturopathic doctor. My approach to patient care comes from this unique perspective. When we work together you'll be listened to and be given the time to ask any questions you may have.

I am a naturopathic doctor (ND) here to help you address the root cause(s) of your health concerns and improve your health through education, partnership, support and natural, drug-free therapies. Our health is affected by many factors. I am here to educate & empower you towards the health promoting actions, thoughts, & choices within your control so you are free to be the most healthy, vibrant, beautiful & balanced YOU possible.

Are you suffering from severe and chronic gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea? Are you exhausted? Are you frustrated with not getting the help you need from your GP or Gastroenterologist? Have you been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or SIBO, but not given any real, lasting solutions? Are you sick of taking medications that make you feel worse? You have come to the right place. We offer a comprehensive, all natural, holistic solution to resolve IBS for good, so you can stop chasing symptoms, normalize your digestion, and have a worry-free happy life again!

As a classical Naturopath, I specialize in healing. My use of natural remedies is designed to support the body's innate wisdom and natural tendencies toward renewal and replenishment to achieve optimal health. Your health reflects your unique life history, including your beliefs, habits and emotional style. The path to wellness is as personal as the circumstances that contributed to your life. I focus on identifying the root causes of your symptoms then tailor a protocol specifically for you, to enable you to work with your body's own innate self-healing intelligence, ultimately leading to wellness.

I believe that your body has the innate ability to heal itself. My healthcare approach, founded on the principles of naturopathic medicine, is to support and restore these inherent systems of healing when they have broken down - allowing your body to return to "true health." Patient-centered care is the cornerstone of any comprehensive and holistic health program. When your body works the way nature intended, your spirit soars--and so do you. As a Naturopath I blend knowledge of conventional medical techniques and clinical training with natural, non-invasive systems of medicine to bring about body balance and wellness.

We are experts in empowering you to better health. By focusing on the real issues causing your health conditions, we take the time to educate and guide you through a program, for you to have the health you want and deserve. Imagine waking up feeling refreshed, getting dressed and feeling confident because of how well your clothes fit, having a clear mind, knowing how to feed and fuel your body in a way that you enjoy and keeps you healthy, having your hormonal levels in balance, being able to physically move your body to enjoy travel, time with kids/grandkids, and being able to get a solid night sleep, every night, without drugs.

I help patients whose lives are gripped by anxiety and stress. I know first hand what it feels like to have life ruled by anxiety and stress, as this was my experience for the first couple of decades of my life. I also know the freedom that comes with learning to navigate these experiences in ways that release the hold they have. I frequently write about this in my blog: https://dremilycolwell.com/blog/.
