Holistic Health.
Naturally.

Welcome!

Is your health feeling stuck? Looking for options beyond conventional healthcare? I’m Dr. Ellerie Naturopathic doctor, intuitive acupuncturist and energy healer, holistic skincare expert,  located in Sebastopol California. Call or text 707-205-3684 to book your first appointment. 

Dr. Ellerie is here to help.

Common complaints she hears from new patients:

  • “My current doctor won’t listen to my whole story.”
  • “My primary care physician won’t run the labs or imaging I need.” 
  • “My doctor dismissed my symptoms.”
  • “My doctor has given me meds and no other options.” 
  • “I have tried everything and nothing is working.” 
  • My doctor said there’s no research in natural medicine but I see lots of info online and its confusing to know what’s factual. 
 

By treating patient holistically using both modern medicine and traditional medicine and using Eastern and Western philosophies in holistic healing, Dr. Ellerie focuses on identifying root causes of health imbalances as well as symptomatically treating. The goal isn’t to suppress the body, but to create an environment in which the body can heal. It’s important that you feel better too!

Intuitive Acupuncture and Energy work:
More than acupuncture needles (needle free options)

More Tools, more effective treatments.

While acupuncture needles are great and effective, they aren’t the only tool in East Asian Medicine. You know the phrase ‘the right tool for the right job’? This is true for treatments too. Many times cupping, moxibustion, teishin tools, gua sha, myofascial release, and hands on energy work are the right tool. If needles are indicated too, no problem! While needles can get specific results, using a broad spectrum of treatments gives you individualized care for a deeper treatment. Treatments    

Your body talks, Dr. Ellerie listens

TCM is taught like a cookbook. The practitioner will use pulse and tongue and your story to find your diagnosis. Your diagnosis will give a recipe of acupuncture points. While that is logical, our bodies don’t always follow the textbooks. Dr. Ellerie was trained in practices that go beyond TCM. By learning how to read the body and its energetic blocks, Dr. Ellerie treats where your individual body is needs attention and where your biggest health blocks are originating. Using multiple lenses, she gets to the root of a problem. Like taking a photograph with an old fashioned camera, when you have the correct lens, the whole picture will be in focus. If you only have one lens, you might not see the whole picture. If you need a new perspective on your health issues, let’s talk. Call or text 707-205-3684 to make an appointment.

Naturopathic medicine: Say hello to patient centered holistic medicine

Dr. Ellerie didn’t want to be a doctor until she learned about Naturopathic medicine.  After working as a Biomedical Engineer in hospitals she became disillusioned with conventional medicine. Believing in a better way for patients to regain health, she wanted to be part of the solution not part of the system. Many people think holistic medicine is ‘alternative’ but in reality holistic medicine looks at the foundations of health (diet, stress management, water intake, sleep) and then goes beyond to understand why the body is in a state of imbalance. Instead of alternative medicine, Naturopathic medicine could be called ‘common sense medicine’.  

Dr. Ellerie actively listens to a patient’s whole story. Having studied multiple systems of medicine means that there’s a lot more options than conventional medicine. Patients are given holistic treatments that include dietary and nutrition advice, stress management techniques, nutraceuticals, herbalism, homeopathy and lifestyle changes. Dr. Ellerie also has other options when it comes to labwork. She can both ordinary labwork but also specialty functional labwork that looks deeper into digestion, hormones, food intolerances, and nutrient status.
