Services
Naturopathic Medicine
Our naturopathic medicine practice combines clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and traditional therapies to address root causes of health imbalances. We create personalized treatment plans that emphasize natural healing while maintaining compatibility with conventional medical approaches. Our Connecticut-licensed practitioners focus on disease prevention and holistic wellness through evidence-based natural interventions.
Photobiomodulation
This evidence-based therapy uses red and infrared light wavelengths to enhance cellular function and reduce inflammation. Each 20-minute session improves tissue repair, alleviates pain, and supports neurological health through non-invasive mitochondrial stimulation. Backed by over 500 clinical trials, our treatment safely enhances cellular energy production for various health conditions.
NeuFit Therapy
NeuFit technology identifies and corrects neurological limitations affecting healing and performance. Using pulsed electrical stimulation, we restore proper nerve communication to accelerate recovery from injuries and optimize physical capabilities. This approach addresses pain origins rather than symptoms through targeted central nervous system retraining.

I always leave Avena feeling better than when I arrived! I receive frequent acupuncture services and have been for years! The supplement regiment they've prescribed have resulted in my blood work showing that I'm "de-aging"! Avena supports my goal of maintaining optimal health!

The staff at Avena are always kind and patient. Dr.Monette has helped me with stomach issues that no other doctor has been able to do over the past 20 years. She is very encouraging and has been consistent in finding treatments to resolve any medical issues that arise. I would highly recommend Avena medical center.

This place is falling apart. I've been shuffled around to THREE doctors in the last year alone and the third doctor is now leaving as well. At the height of covid I even saw maskless docs and receptionists. The final straw for me was hearing a friend of mine who sees dr. Monette describe how she blamed high cholesterol on too much blue-light. I'm done with this place...A total joke.

The main Dr. always treated me with kindness,
respect and compassion. She is knowledgeable and helped assist me through several skin treatments that made a noticeable difference fighting breakouts. I am also thankful that Avena performed the treatments at a fair price. Thank you Avena Wellness!
