“Dr. Melissa Kuser has been a true medical partner, supporting me on my health journey for four years (and
counting)! I’ve always been seen by others as appearing healthy – but I knew my digestive system needed care
and balance, and the mainstream medical response to my PCOS was ‘I’ll just worry about this when you
want to get pregnant’;. Dr. Melissa has supported my whole body health with Mayan Abdominal Massage,
acupuncture, herbal remedies, and sparing Western medicine when needed. At almost 36 years old, I can now
say I'm in the best FULL health of my life. I have no doubt that our work in addressing my SIBO, and then in
supporting pelvic health and hormonal balance, readied me to become a mother. I got pregnant on a fast
timeline – quite unexpected by the mainstream medical folks – and have a wonderful one-year old kiddo.”

“Dr. Jessica Sweet has been my Naturopath for about a year. During the time she has been treating me I have had a positive response to her therapies which include but are not limited to acupuncture and Chinese herb therapy. I have had lasting relief from back pain, symptoms of menopause and fatigue. She is the first doctor I have seen in my 64 years who has listened to my symptoms and has treated me successfully without the use of pharmaceuticals. I recommend her highly. You will not be disappointed!”

Chelesa is a gifted healer who is particularly skilled in helping women return to the wisdom of their bodies. I first visited Chelesa as a new mom struggling to regain a sense of balance in my body. She patiently and kindly listened to my story and helped me see how my body was pointing the way to a new and deeper understanding of myself. She is a brave, grounded, strong and gentle practitioner who has a compassionate heart and a wise intuition. I feel very grateful for her support as I have become a stronger and happier person.

At peak fitness at age 58, I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis at L-3 and L-4 to go along with my bulging disc problems at L-5 and L-6. I could no longer ski, hike, garden or engage in many of my normal activities. Surgery was not an option. I worked with several highly reputable physical therapists for several years only to find an increase in my neuralgia, muscle cramps, foot numbness, back aches and sleep problems. Inactive, I gained at least 25 pounds. I became depressed. Enter Dr. Mayer. She immediately diagnosed that I had a long term posture problem that exacerbated my symptoms and thwarted more traditional therapies. We literarily started at the bottom, the lowest part of my back, and through a series of postures and movements my sway back began to straighten. With time, my symptoms receded; the vertigo, the pins and needles, the numbness, the back pain, and the depression. I treasure my relationship with Dr. Mayer for the way she inspires me keep up with my health practices. Learning together has brought us closer together. I can not recommend a better partner for creating and maintaining a life with good health!

I have been seeing Dr. Sweet regularly for the past two years. Since our first visit her dedication to my health and well-being has been unwavering and I have seen dramatic improvements in my issues. Her care considers all of my life and she takes the time to work with me collaboratively, empowering me as she gives. I count myself as lucky to call her my doctor!

“Dr. Sweet is the embodiment of humanity. I’ve never met a person (let alone a doctor) that truly listens to your every single concern, addresses it, and works with you to resolve it…regardless of how minor or major it may be. This is a person who will never dismiss you or make you feel like you are broken. Finding a doctor that was Lyme literate and also willing to provide non traditional treatment was something I thought was the equivalent of finding a unicorn, and I feel truly blessed to have found these things in Dr. Sweet (maybe she’s a unicorn?!). I’ve joked that if she ever moved out of the country that I would be forced to move too….I stand by my words. Thank you for everything that you do!”

It’s difficult for me to put into words what an important role Dr. Hopkins has played in my life over the past two years. From my very first visit, I knew I had finally found the doctor I had spent years searching for. I came to Dr. Hopkins during a very difficult time in my life. I was physically struggling with chronic conditions, was battling overwhelming anxiety and depression, and felt hopeless. With kindness, compassion, and an unwavering belief in my ability to heal, Dr. Hopkins has helped me to take control of my health and make empowered decisions about my care. I finally feel like I am on the path to true healing and feel supported every step of the way.

“I truly believe Dr. Melissa Kuser is the reason we have a beautiful toddler with us today. 
We had been having fertility issues for a year and a half.  I had been to other
naturopaths, tried teas, supplements, and many other non-invasive methods.  We were
about to start IVF when I started seeing Melissa.  We met for an evaluation and blood
work, and I will never forget her telling my husband and I (with tears in my eyes) at my
follow up appointment, ‘Give me a few months, you can get pregnant.’;  We decided we
would try her advice for 3 months, and then go the course of IVF.  A mix of the right
supplements and a few Mayan abdominal massages later, and we were pregnant in a
month and a half!  She helped me through the pregnancy and post-pregnancy and is
again supporting me during my second.
I love seeing her throughout the pregnancy and post for the Mayan massages… I
always feel more connected with myself and the baby after our visits.  Melissa has great
calm energy – and is always welcoming and non-judgmental.  I will continue to see her
for years to come – and recommend her to any of my friends struggling with fertility!”

I saw Chelesa for chronic shoulder pain that limited my ability to do physical work and athletic activities. She used a unique blend of physical therapy, body-work, and intuitive modalities to guide me to a complete resolution of my shoulder issues. I have never had a more positive experience with a health care practitioner.

I have worked with some amazing doctors over the years, but Sara has been the best. She genuinely cares about her patients, and takes the time to understand their individual needs. Not only does she approach health holistically, but she can provide knowledge from both eastern and western perspectives. She makes herself accessible to her patients, and I have never left her office feeling unheard or misunderstood. I cannot recommend Sara more highly.
