NESH Alumni Practitioner Directory Listing
My greatest joy comes from empowering patients to find health allowing them to live a full, satisfying life that holds the freedom that awareness brings. I wholeheartedly believe in change — not the superficial, quick fix—but the steady, sustainable transformation that brings peace on all levels. I take my job seriously and see my role to dig deeply into what challenges patients, identify the core areas that need attention, and walk alongside patients as they address the trials and tribulations that affect their well-being. I seek to optimize the innate processes that support, promote and enhance life.
I earned my naturopathic medical degree from The National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in 2008. There I was honored with the Nature Cure Award for embodying the principles of naturopathic medicine. I hold a certificate from the New England School of Homeopathy and have pursued intensive study of homeopathy and craniosacral therapy.
Outside of work, to cultivate my own joy and well being, I enjoy fresh air and nature daily, on walks with the friends and family I cherish so much. I am deeply grateful for my meditation practice and community. I spend my free weekends outside in my garden, hiking, skiing and biking with my husband, Dr. Richard Barrett. We are blessed with two wonderful sons and have a few furry four-legged friends as well. I am eternally thankful for all the love that surrounds me.
