Counseling Naturopaths in Virginia

Naturopaths believe that the body possesses an innate ability to heal itself. We also believe in treating the whole body and we do not focus on the treatment of the symptoms. We reach the causes of diseases, whether that is bioenergetic, emotional, viral, parasitic, heavy metal, chemical, environmental, food related, water intake related, bacteria related, and more. As your naturopath, I become your personal health care advocate reviewing ways and means for you to achieve the health that you deserve. I am dedicated to your success and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that you achieve optimal health.

I enjoy helping people of all ages to achieve their best health ever. I take the time to talk with my patients in order to understand the deeper causes of their symptoms. My treatments and therapies are natural and gentle while still being highly effective. I specialize in the use of integrated and naturopathic medicine for addressing specific complaints as well as improving overall health and well-being. I work with my client to create a treatment plan that will help establish a foundation for lifelong health in addition to relieving symptoms and restoring optimal functioning at all levels.

My passion is mental health. I feel exceedingly privileged to help you heal. I empower you to heal your bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, or whatever it is that is keeping you from being whole. Most of the time I use the gentle, safe, and effective therapy of Homeopathy. If necessary, you continue your conventional medications alongside naturopathic treatment. You are guided towards living a fulfilling and engaging life, again. Email is (by far) the best way to get a hold of me.

With the combination of my four years as consultant on use of bio-identical hormones, eight years in private practice and five years in research, this has given me valuable work and clinical experience in helping me to be a better doctor. Furthermore, it has given me insight into applying both the science and the art of practicing medicine. I feel very privileged to have worked with Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD during my first three years in practice in Seattle, WA in which cutting edge treatments were used for several chronic conditions.

Dr. Ciuha has a unique approach to health and disease. She practices holistic family medicine with emphasis on dermatology, women's and children's health, and digestive disorders/food sensitivities. Dr. Ciuha has a conventional medical approach to diagnosis, and she uses physical examination, clinical labs and imaging tests to identify the cause of the problem. The choice of treatment then is based on the individual patient's needs, and may include dietary and lifestyle modifications, nutritional therapies, botanical therapies, physical medicine, as well as certain prescription medications.

My ideal clients are women who are trying to prepare their bodies for conception. I also work with men who are trying to improve their fertility as well. Some couples are just at the start and trying to balance hormones, and some have been trying to conceive for a while with no success. I help with any condition that may lead to fertility struggles such as PCOS, endometriosis, weight management, hypothyroidism, unexplained infertility.
