Hi, I’m Dr. Hailey
I’m a passionate Naturopathic Doctor dedicated to helping women optimize their menstrual cycles and overall health to achieve vitality, longevity, and preconception wellness. My approach to health is grounded in the body’s innate ability to heal, emphasizing the importance of prevention, natural medicine, and whole-body wellness.
My path to becoming a ND was shaped by my desire to find sustainable, natural ways to support the body. I completed my doctorate from one of the most rigorous naturopathic universities in the country, where I was also involved in specialized training in women’s health, gastrointestinal health, pelvic floor therapy, and vitalistic medicine. I believe these areas are critical to women’s health.
I am dedicated to using my expertise to guide women through personalized health journeys that restore balance and vitality. Whether it’s improving hormonal health, resolving digestive issues, or preparing the body for conception, my goal is to empower women to reclaim their health and trust their intuition.
I am deeply committed to authenticity, transparency, and women’s health empowerment. Unlike some in the health industry, I do not believe in pushing supplements, medications, or expensive solutions simply for profit. My approach is simple, natural, and aligned with ancestral wisdom.
Whether you’re looking to optimize your menstrual cycle, prepare for pregnancy, or simply feel better in your body, I’d love to help you on your health journey. Let’s work together to create a vibrant, healthy life that will impact not only you but future generations to come.
What is a Naturopathic Doctor?
Naturopathic Doctors (ND) attend a 4-year graduate-level medical school accredited by the CNME (Council on Naturopathic Medical Education). After rigorous academic and clinic training, NDs must pass a series of board examinations to be licensed to practice medicine. NDs are educated in all of the same basic sciences as MDs, but also study holistic and non-toxic approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis on disease prevention and optimized wellness.
Using clinical nutrition, botanical medicine and homeopathy in addition to conventional western medicine modalities, Naturopaths are able to support and promote the body’s natural healing process and help patients reach their full health potential.

The Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:
1. First, Do No Harm — this one is universal in medicine but it especially rings true in Naturopathic Medicine because it goes to the core of every interaction — not just “don’t hurt someone” but looking at every word and action in and out of the clinic setting. To me this reaches from the patient all the way out to the entire Earth.
2. The Healing Power of Nature — this one is my favorite. To me it’s all about trusting the innate healing power that exists within nature (and self). The results of letting the human body exist in a natural state and allowing space and time for the organism to come back into balance again and again.
3. Treat the Whole Person - To me, it’s obvious that one might look at the entire person (physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, pathological, etc) in order to understand what is truly in the way of healing but unfortunately that’s not typically the case in health care. This means there are doctors out there who will spend 90 minutes with you in an appointment in order to understand, listen, and be with you on your healing journey. Not 5 minutes, not 10, but 90. Treating the whole takes time and you deserve that time. We all do.
4. Treat the Cause - to get to the cause we must keep asking why and how and what and when. What is truly causing pain, suffering, stagnation? Just like treating the whole, treating the cause takes work. It’s an investigation.
5. Doctor as Teacher — to me this is all about truly informed consent between the doctor and patient that includes learning, growing, and empowerment. I believe every human deserves access to health information and to understand WHY a doctor is telling them to “take this” or “do that”.

6. Prevention — prevention is vastly overlooked in the conventional medical system and it’s where Naturopathic Medicine thrives. To me, prevention is consistency, knowledge, and self agency.
With these principles front and center, the therapeutic order, and an education that bridges the gap between science and traditional medicine, you get a Naturopathic Doctor!
The Naturopathic Therapeutic order:
—> Establish the Foundation for Optimum Health: Addressing diet, lifestyle, habits, stress management+reduction, sleep, toxic exposure, socioeconomic factors
—> Stimulate Self-Healing: The body is innately wise and tends toward health and healing. Therapies and treatments include nutrition, botanicals medicine, counseling, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, homeopathy,
—> Support and Restore Weakened Systems: professional grade supplements, endocrine balancing, manual therapies, homeopathy, counseling
—> Address Physical Alignment: physical manipulation, craniosacral therapy, therapeutic movement, electrotherapy
—> Natural Symptom Relief: While the goal is to restore health sometimes symptom relief is necessary to work on all of the other components listed above. This is where natural therapies come in that are proven to address pathology and symptoms.
—> Synthetic Symptom Relief: It’s a fact that a lot of people are currently on prescriptive pharmaceuticals. Naturopathic Physicians acknowledge this and are educated on how to manage these medications in conjunction with a naturopathic treatment plan.
—> High Force Interventions: Sometimes interventions like major surgery are called for. NDs can perform minor-office procedures but not major surgeries. However, NDs can support patients with pre- and post-op healing.
