Naturopathic Medicine
Our naturopathic medicine practice combines scientific rigor with traditional healing principles. We address chronic conditions through personalized treatment plans focusing on nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and natural therapies. With specialized expertise in hormone balance and digestive health, we help patients achieve lasting wellness through the body's innate healing capacity. This approach emphasizes prevention and root-cause resolution rather than symptom suppression.
Acupuncture Therapy
Our acupuncture treatments utilize fine needles to stimulate specific meridians and restore qi flow. This traditional Chinese medicine technique effectively addresses pain management, stress reduction, and various health conditions. We integrate modern understanding of anatomy with centuries-old practices to optimize treatment outcomes. Sessions often include complementary therapies like cupping or moxibustion for enhanced therapeutic effects.
Hormone Replacement
Specialized hormone balancing programs address symptoms of menopause, thyroid dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome. We utilize bio-identical hormones combined with nutritional support to restore physiological balance. Treatment plans consider individual biochemistry and lifestyle factors for optimal effectiveness. Regular monitoring ensures safe and sustained symptom relief through natural hormone optimization.
GI Disorder Treatment
Comprehensive digestive health programs target conditions like IBS, SIBO, and inflammatory bowel disease. Through specialized testing and elimination diets, we identify food sensitivities and gut imbalances. Treatment combines herbal medicine, probiotics, and dietary modifications to restore intestinal health. Our approach addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term gut microbiome balance.
Autoimmune Support
Personalized autoimmune protocols address underlying triggers through environmental detoxification and nutritional support. We employ functional testing to identify contributing factors like heavy metal toxicity or chronic infections. Treatment focuses on restoring immune tolerance while supporting organ-specific health through targeted supplementation and lifestyle modifications.

I saw Dr. Han for a few months in early 2021 in an attempt to get to the root of a weird, chronic issue I was having. In emails, Dr. Han was very compassionate, empathetic, and detailed. Though, in person, she acted quite differently with me. Of course not every specialist has the same range and or level of expertise, but I feel like Dr. Han wasn't honest with me about her uncertainty as to my situation. Ultimately, I stopped seeing Dr. Han because I didn't feel confident under her care. Additionally, on multiple occasions she made untrue and disparaging remarks about another condition

Dr. Han changed my life. For 7 years I have been trying to figure out whats wrong with me by listening to drs who participate in western medicine. I have had the weirdest symptoms and have been told I have a bunch of disorders and they gave me no treatment plan.
Dr. Han takes the time to listen to you at every appointment and trys to figure out the root cause of all your symptoms. The natural supplements and herbal regiments she has me on has changed my life. She also suggested I meditate, work out 5 days a week, and drink a ton of water. I have been following all of her advice, I use to be dizzy

After having my first appointment with Dr. Han I feel empowered. I have so much more clarity about my health, something I've been seeking for a long time. She covered every health concern and question I could have had in my 90 minute intake appointment such that I feel completely understood and well-taken care of. She is doing amazing work, I would highly recommend to any and everyone!

Dr Han is a gem in this industry. I have suffered from digestion/gut issues, IBS, SIBO, Gerd problems for the last 5 years. After seeing conventional doctors I was given no relief nor did any of them truly care about me and all the meds only worsened things for me and then I had them tell me it was all in my head and suggested anti-anxiety meds. I knew what was going on was definitely not in my head and thus began my journey into natural alternative medicine. However this was just the beginning of more challenges. I found that it was not easy to find a trusted ND without knowing or having
