Dr. Elle specializes in Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Microbiome and Nutrition, Autoimmune Diseases, Depression and Anxiety. Now you can overcome chronic health concerns, pain and stress, using safe and effective Naturopathic medicine. The primary goal of our service is to teach people how to take control of their own health with the powerful healing that comes from a healthy microbiome (gut), using nutritious, whole food, as a way to prevent and reverse illness and depression.

Dr. Elle’s services include the use of clean, toxin-free, targeted dietary supplements; herbs; Essential Oils; Homeopathy, Ayurveda; EFT (Tapping), and other holistic remedies. The Hippocratic concepts (written in the 5th Century BCE) of “Food as Medicine” and “First Do No Harm” provide many ideas and suggestions for her approach.

Many of us who grow up in the Western world have been taught antithetical ways of eating. Fad diets, along with manufactured processed ‘Frankenfoods’, have placed corporate profits, convenience, and chemical-laden fast foods over the public’s health. It’s no wonder why we are so sick and tired.

Dr. Elle welcomes you and invites you to explore with her how nutrition and lifestyle can contribute to health and well-being. She makes no promises of any quick fixes or one-size-fits-all miracle cures; instead, her goal is to facilitate the self-healing journey and help you grow happier, healthier and stronger, which is key to living a vital life.

Dr. Elle is a Naturopathic Doctor, Holistic Nutritionist and Wellness Coach specializing in Nutritional Medicine, Microbiome Health, Lyme Disease, Epstein-Barr and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Autoimmune Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, Mental Wellness Care and Brain Health.

Dr. Elle consults with clients nationwide and internationally. She graduated Summa Cum Laude having earned a Ph.D. in Natural Health Sciences, an N.D. (Naturopathic Doctor) Degree, and a Baccalaureate Degree in Holistic Nutrition. She is also certified in Mind-Body Medicine from Whole Health Medicine Institute (Dr. Lissa Rankin, M.D., author of Mind Over Medicine), as well as numerous CME certifications and trainings through various resources in order to stay up-to-date and current with the latest cutting-edge information.

Dr. Elle has always been deeply fascinated by medicine, but not in the traditional way. She knew there had to be more to healing than pharmaceutical drugs and surgery. Of course, conventional medicine is important and responsible for saving lives every day. However, she realized early on that nutrition and lifestyle were the keys to preventing modern-day diseases and chronic health issues.

Dr. Elle informs and empowers her clients to heal themselves through nutrition and by teaching them the necessary steps to prevent dis-ease. The modalities used at Mind Your Body Therapy support the clients’ efforts to peel back the layers of their current symptoms and discover the root cause of their illness, both physical and emotional, rather than using drugs and pills to mask the messages their body is giving them. Symptoms are our body’s way of getting us to pay attention! It is important not to mask or ignore them.

Dr. Elle believes the human body and mind are self-healing and regenerating if given the right fuel: clean, nutritious whole food, in combination with balancing the mind-body system and healing energy medicine.

Inspired by a PBS interview with Joseph Campbell where he says, “Follow your bliss and doors will open for you that were not there before,” Dr. Elle realized that helping people to heal themselves is her bliss. It’s her absolute honor to serve the world in this way.

Nearly a decade ago, I was bitten by a tick while on my regular Sunday morning jog through the woods near my home. I hadn’t noticed a tick climbed inside my sock and latched onto my leg until back at home when I took my shoes off.

In truth, I didn’t know much about Lyme at the time and had no traditional early symptoms, like the “bull’s-eye” rash we all hear so much about. I felt fine and carried on for months, until one day I began to feel the effects of what was later determined to be Lyme Disease: exhaustion, pain, depression, anxiety, confusion, and insomnia. It felt like I was experiencing the worse flu I had ever had. Then came the panic attacks, anxiety and depression. The symptoms slowly progressed until I could no longer walk the dog, work, exercise, or go out with friends. All things I used to love and from which I garnered much energy and vitality.

Lyme is a very difficult condition to understand. Tick-borne diseases like Lyme strike about 300,000 people each year, according to new information released by federal health officials at the CDC. The new estimates suggest the disease is 10x more common than previously thought and becoming worse every year the more we experience Climate Change.

Now more than ever, I’m passionate about guiding people with Lyme disease and other immune system dysfunction to feel their best. I recovered from Lyme and developed my Lyme Recovery Program. Fill out the contact form if you’d like to learn more about how you can work with me.
