Empowering Patients to Take Charge of Their Health
As a naturopathic doctor, my practice focuses on empowering patients to take charge of their health through personalized, root-cause-driven care. I specialize in treating autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, and digestive concerns using holistic, functional approaches tailored to each individual's unique needs. With virtual consultations available, I work collaboratively with patients to develop customized treatment plans that align with their lifestyle, budget, and wellness goals. My commitment to advancing holistic healthcare led me to co-found Wellness Minneapolis, a hub for integrative practitioners.I hold a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I graduated first in my class, and maintain active leadership roles in professional organizations including the Minnesota Association of Naturopathic Physicians. New patients receive comprehensive 90-minute initial consultations to establish personalized health strategies, supported by ongoing virtual follow-ups to track progress and refine treatment approaches.

Services
Naturopathic Medicine
Our naturopathic practice combines functional medicine with personalized treatment plans to address chronic health conditions. We focus on identifying root causes rather than managing symptoms, using evidence-based natural therapies. Patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their specific health needs and wellness goals.
Autoimmune Support
Specialized treatment programs address autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn's disease. We implement dietary interventions, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle modifications to reduce inflammation and support immune system regulation. Our approach emphasizes long-term management and symptom relief through natural methods.
Hormonal Balance
We address hormonal imbalances including thyroid disorders, PCOS, and menopause symptoms through comprehensive testing and personalized treatment plans. Our approach combines nutritional support, botanical medicine, and lifestyle modifications to restore hormonal equilibrium and alleviate related symptoms.
Digestive Health
Our digestive health programs treat conditions like IBS, GERD, and food sensitivities through elimination diets, gut microbiome restoration, and targeted supplementation. We focus on healing the digestive tract while addressing systemic impacts of digestive dysfunction to improve overall wellness.
Individual Care
Each patient receives a customized treatment plan developed during an initial 90-minute consultation. We consider genetic factors, lifestyle, and personal health goals to create adaptable wellness strategies. Follow-up appointments ensure ongoing support and treatment adjustments as needed for optimal outcomes.

I am grateful to Dr. Barrett for her ability and skill in identifying health issues that were missed by conventional western medicine/doctors. I strive for a balance between Naturopathic and conventional western medicines - each having tremendous value. Dr. Barrett is patient, kind and straightforward. I have been a patient for several years.
