NorthStar Natural is located at the Shoreline Center for Wholistic Health in Guilford, CT where a wide array of wellness practices and programs are offered.. As a licensed acupuncturist and naturopathic physician,I merge Eastern and Western healing traditions to offer you a comprehensive approach to natural medicine. I rely on the wisdom of both ancient and modern healing disciplines to help rebuild health and promote wellness. I believe the body has an innate healing ability that flourishes when we promote a healthy mind set and nurture spiritual,emotional and physical well being. Of course,as an emergency medical technician,I also know that there are times when more aggressive medicine is needed and I am happy to work in an integrative manner with other health care practitioners to ensure that you receive comprehensive care. In addition to acupuncture and naturopathic therapies,I incorporate the most modern of diagnostic testing. This is to assess possible imbalances in the nervous,immune,endocrine,and digestive systems,and utilize professional grade medicinal formulations to help correct imbalances.
