Services
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine at New Leaf Natural Medicine focuses on holistic healing using natural therapeutics. We treat chronic and acute conditions by addressing root causes through dietary evaluations, lifestyle counseling, and non-invasive treatments. Our approach emphasizes the body's innate healing capacity, integrating botanical medicine, homeopathy, and nutritional support to restore balance and promote long-term wellness for patients seeking alternatives to conventional care.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture services combine Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and 5 Element Acupuncture to treat physical pain and emotional stress. By stimulating qi flow through fine needles, we alleviate conditions like migraines, anxiety, and digestive issues. This therapy promotes nervous system relaxation, enhances mood-regulating chemicals, and addresses chronic stress or PTSD, offering a holistic approach to pain management and emotional well-being.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy gently releases fascial restrictions to improve nervous system function and reduce chronic pain. Using light pressure, we address conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, and emotional trauma by restoring natural movement patterns in connective tissues. This non-invasive technique promotes deep relaxation, resolves long-standing physical and emotional blocks, and supports recovery from injuries or surgeries.
Food Intolerance Evaluation
This evaluation identifies foods incompatible with your digestive system using a blood sample analysis. By removing 1-2 primary intolerances, patients experience reduced inflammation, improved gut health, and relief from symptoms like bloating, allergies, and fatigue. The process includes personalized guidance to rebuild a nourishing diet while addressing chronic conditions linked to food sensitivities, such as skin issues and hormonal imbalances.
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral manipulation addresses chronic pain and organ dysfunction by releasing fascial restrictions in internal organs. This technique improves mobility and function of the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems, alleviating conditions like acid reflux, endometriosis, and post-surgical adhesions. By restoring natural organ movement patterns, we reduce pain, enhance mobility, and support systemic healing for long-standing health issues.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat chronic health issues like allergies, migraines, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, and mental-emotional concerns through integrated naturopathic care.
What happens during a first visit?
Initial appointments last 90 minutes, including health history review, treatment planning, and integrated therapies like acupuncture and craniosacral therapy to begin healing immediately.
Do you accept insurance?
We are out-of-network providers. We provide superbills for potential insurance reimbursement but do not bill insurance directly to maintain affordable, flexible care options.
How does food intolerance testing work?
A dried blood sample identifies foods your body cannot properly digest. Removing 1-2 primary intolerances reduces inflammation and resolves gut-related chronic symptoms across multiple body systems.
What makes your approach unique?
We combine naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, and craniosacral therapy in each visit, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual health simultaneously for comprehensive, lasting results.
Are services affordable?
We use cost-effective natural therapies and offer a sliding scale to make holistic healthcare accessible, prioritizing sustainable solutions over expensive, temporary fixes.
