WHOLE-SYSTEM CARE FOR REAL LIFE • ROCKLAND, MAINE • SERVING MAINE STATEWIDE •
Let me tell you something most practitioners won't
You don't need to fix everything at once. In fact, trying to is probably making things worse.
Your body isn't a broken machine that needs 47 different interventions yesterday. It's an intelligent, interconnected system that's been sending you messages—messages you haven't had the space, energy, or support to decode.
And somewhere deep down, you already know this.
You know your body is on your side, even when it feels like it's betraying you. There's wisdom in these symptoms. You just need someone to help you decode what they're saying.
But instead, you've been handed dismissals ("This is normal for your age"), band-aid solutions that don't stick, or overwhelming protocols that assume you have infinite time and energy to implement them.
You don't.
Because right now, you're stretched so thin you're practically transparent.
The needs of everyone around you: your kids, your aging parents, your partner, your work - are piling up like an avalanche you can't outrun. You're the one holding it all together, which means there's no one holding YOU.
The exhaustion lives in your bones. Sleep doesn't touch it. Rest feels impossible when everyone needs something from you.
And the worst part? The shame spiral that comes when you can't maintain the green smoothies, the morning routine, the exercise plan you KNOW would help… if only your life looked different. If only you had more willpower. If only you weren't so…tired.
Here's the truth you haven't been told:
You don't need more willpower.
You need a different starting place.
One that doesn't add to the overwhelm. One that actually works with your real life, not some imaginary version where you have three extra hours a day and no responsibilities.
You need someone who can help you identify the one or two highest-leverage places to begin—the places that will create a ripple effect through your entire system without burying you under another mountain of to-dos.
It's probably not the elimination diet right now. Not the supplement protocol or the exercise plan. It's creating one small pocket of space for your nervous system to finally rest. Or putting a little gas in your tank with hormone support so you actually HAVE the energy to make the changes you've been wanting to make.
Maybe it's finally having someone help you hear what your body has been trying to tell you all along.
That's what Elemental Health is for.
Elemental Health is my answer to the overwhelm, the dismissals, and the one-size-fits-all protocols that don't fit your real life.
You'll do the RIGHT thing first—not more things—and learn to trust that your body has been guiding you toward healing this entire time.
Over four months, we work together to find YOUR starting place. The one that makes sense for your body, your circumstances, and this season of your life.
We'll transform your relationship with your body from one of antagonism to one of alliance. From outsourcing your power to practitioners and Google searches, to reclaiming the intuition that's been there all along. From white-knuckling lifestyle changes you "should" be doing, to understanding what your body actually needs right now.
You'll stop managing symptoms and start listening to the messages underneath them.
And you'll finally have someone in your corner who sees the whole picture—someone who understands that one or two strategic shifts can create a cascade of healing, without burying you under another avalanche of to-dos.
Maybe you're here because you're struggling with...
Energy crisis: Chronic fatigue, thyroid issues, burnout, adrenal exhaustion—you're running on fumes, and sleep doesn't fix it.
Hormonal chaos: Perimenopause, menopause, PMS, PMDD, fertility challenges, postpartum recovery—your body feels hijacked.
Digestive rebellion: Bloating, pain, food sensitivities, IBS—eating has become stressful instead of nourishing.
A nervous system that won't settle: Anxiety, insomnia, overwhelm—you're wired and tired, and can't remember the last time you felt truly calm.
A body that feels like it's working against you: Whatever the diagnosis or symptom, you're exhausted from fighting your own system.
Here's what makes my approach different
I'm a licensed naturopathic doctor (ND) and acupuncturist (LAc)—one of the very few practitioners with deep training in both traditions and the skill to blend them seamlessly.
Why does this matter for you?
Because when I look at your body, I'm seeing it through two complementary lenses at once. The naturopathic lens gives me the modern science—your lab work, biochemistry, evidence-based natural interventions. The Chinese medicine lens shows me the patterns, the energetic connections, how one system is influencing another.
Together, they reveal YOUR complete picture.
This dual perspective is what allows me to identify those one or two highest-leverage places to start. I can see connections others miss. I can offer you acupuncture to regulate your nervous system while we're addressing your hormones with herbs and targeted nutrition. I can prescribe pharmaceuticals when they're truly needed, while relying on natural therapies wherever possible.
You won't be dismissed because your labs look "normal." You won't get a cookie-cutter protocol. And you won't have to choose between science and ancient wisdom.
Ready to see how this works?
Elemental Health creates three fundamental shifts:
FROM OVERWHELM TO CLARITY No more drowning in conflicting information or impossible protocols. We identify YOUR starting place—the one or two strategic interventions that make sense for your body and your life right now. You'll understand what's happening physiologically and have a clear roadmap forward.
FROM FIGHTING TO LISTENING Your symptoms aren't the enemy—they're messengers. We'll help you decode what your body has been trying to tell you, so you can stop battling your system and start working with its natural intelligence. Curiosity replaces criticism.
FROM DEPLETION TO EMBODIMENT We'll find the highest-leverage support for your system right now—whether that's nervous system rest, hormone rebalancing, or something else—so you actually have the resources to make aligned decisions and care for yourself. Sustainable change comes when you have enough in your tank to make it.

The 3 Phases of Care
Elemental Health follows a systematic process that honors both the roots and branches of what's happening in your body. You'll learn to work WITH your body's natural healing ability, not against it.
The journey from depletion to embodiment unfolds in three phases:
PHASE ONE | GATHER
We start by truly seeing you.
This is where we slow down and listen - to your story, your symptoms, your life. We'll explore not just what's wrong, but how it's impacting your ability to live the life you want.
I'll review your complete health history with fresh eyes, looking for patterns that conventional care often misses. We'll define what "thriving" actually looks like for YOU - not some generic wellness ideal, but your specific vision.
Through comprehensive lab testing, we'll uncover what's happening beneath the surface. Not just "are your labs normal," but what is your body actually doing, and where does it need support?
By the end of this phase, you'll have clarity. A personalized blueprint based on science, rooted in your unique system, and built for your real life.
PHASE TWO | ALIGN
This is where the transformation begins.
With a clear understanding of your body's needs, we implement your customized plan—the one designed specifically for you, not pulled from a template.
You'll receive targeted acupuncture to help your body recalibrate and find balance. Herbal formulas and supplements chosen for YOUR biochemistry, not just your diagnosis. Practical lifestyle guidance that works with your current capacity, not some fantasy version of your life.
This phase is alive—we track how your body responds and refine as we go. Because healing isn't linear, and your plan shouldn't be rigid.
What to expect: Changes show up differently for everyone. Some notice better sleep or clearer thinking within the first few weeks. Others feel shifts in energy or pain levels first. We'll track what matters most to YOU and adjust as we go, inviting small shifts that compound.
PHASE THREE | FLOURISH
This is where it all comes together.
As your body finds its balance, we focus on integration and resilience. The practices that have been supporting you become part of your natural rhythm—not another thing you "should" do, but extensions of how you care for yourself.
You'll know how to maintain your progress independently. The tools to recognize what your body needs. The confidence to trust your own intuition.
We'll celebrate how far you've come and create a plan for continued vitality. You're reclaiming your power to thrive.
Wellness stops being a destination you're striving toward. It becomes an embodied way of being.
You don't have to take my word for it.
These patients came to me feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, and exhausted from trying to figure it out alone. Here's what became possible when they found the right starting place:

**How It Works**
**In-person** (Rockland, Maine): All visits include acupuncture and hands-on care. Ideal for the full Elemental Health experience.
**Virtual (anywhere in Maine):** Available for follow-up visits and lab reviews. Initial visit works best in-person, but we can discuss what makes sense for your situation.
**Hybrid:** Many patients throughout Maine do their first visit in Rockland, then alternate between in-person and virtual based on what their body needs and their schedule allows. Note: Due to licensing requirements, I can only serve patients residing in Maine.
The Investment
Elemental Health: $2,500 for four months of comprehensive care
$2,250 when paid in full (save $250)
This addresses what's actually happening in your body - not just surface symptoms. Four months of personalized visits, acupuncture, comprehensive lab panel (included) lab insights, direct access, and a roadmap built for your life.

**My Commitment to You**
Finding the right healthcare partnership is essential for meaningful healing. I'm committed to providing:

Clear guidance after each visit so you know exactly what to do next

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The first step is to schedule a FREE 15-minute discovery call here. During this brief conversation, you’ll share your main concerns and goals, and we’ll determine if working together is a good fit. Dr. Katy sees patients in person at her Rockland, ME clinic and also offers online/telehealth visits for those who prefer virtual care.
-
Yes. Elemental Health is deliberately designed as a complete program rather than one-off visits.
Here’s why:
Consistent Care Leads to Better Results: Research (and experience!) shows that ongoing follow-up is crucial for meaningful, lasting improvements in your health.
Deep-Dive Approach: Working together in a structured framework allows me to thoroughly understand your unique situation and tailor treatments over time, rather than addressing issues superficially in a single visit.
Comprehensive Support: The program includes the right mix of lab work, acupuncture, personalized protocols, and consistent check-ins—making it more effective than sporadic visits.
Maintenance & Follow-Ups: After you complete the initial program, you’re welcome to continue with a customized maintenance plan or occasional check-ins at your discretion.
By committing to the full Elemental Health program, you’re ensuring you get the comprehensive care and consistent follow-up needed for real transformation.
-
No, I do not bill insurance directly. However, if your plan covers out-of-network services for naturopathic medicine or acupuncture, I can provide you with a superbill for potential reimbursement.
Superbill for Reimbursement: After each visit, I can issue a detailed receipt (often called a “superbill”) that you may submit to your insurer. Reimbursement depends on whether your policy covers out-of-network services.
Why I Don’t Bill Insurance Directly: I believe in a direct, patient-focused relationship without third-party restrictions. Insurance companies often dictate which treatments they will or won’t cover, which can limit the options we explore together.
Personalized Care Matters: By working outside the insurance model, I’m free to tailor every aspect of your healthcare to your unique needs—ensuring we can explore the treatments that best serve your goals.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider and ask about out-of-network benefits for naturopathic medicine and acupuncture.
-
I have a special focus on the following areas:
Women's and hormonal health issues including fertility and preconception care, perimenopause and menopause, painful periods (PMS/PMDD), irregular periods, PCOS, thyroid issues, prenatal adjunctive care, and postpartum care for mothers.
Digestive issues including constipation, diarrhea, GERD, IBS/IBD, and gas/bloating.
Mental health issues including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout.
-
Absolutely. In many cases, laboratory testing is part of your personalized care plan. I most commonly work with a phlebotomist right in our office, making it easy for you to complete necessary tests. We also partner with several cash-based labs that offer competitive pricing. Depending on your coverage or personal preferences, we can choose the option that best fits your needs. If you’d like price quotes before ordering labs, I’m always happy to provide those so there are no surprises.
-
I provide adjunctive, integrative healthcare meant to supplement—not replace—primary care services.
I encourage all my patients to establish and maintain a relationship with a primary care provider for routine checkups and urgent concerns. My role is to collaborate and support you in achieving holistic well-being alongside your regular medical care.
-
Regular Follow-Ups: We’ll schedule follow-up appointments as part of your treatment plan so I can track your progress, adjust therapies, and ensure you’re on the right path.
Messaging via Practice Better: For quick questions or clarifications, you can message me directly in our secure patient portal. I typically respond within 1–2 business days.
Complex or New Concerns: If your question involves a new or more complex issue, I may recommend booking an additional visit. This ensures we have enough time to thoroughly evaluate and address your concerns.
Emergency Situations: For urgent medical needs, please contact your primary care provider, visit an urgent care clinic, or call 911.
-
Absolutely! The Elemental Health Program lays a strong foundation for our ongoing partnership. Many patients choose to continue with regular or as-needed follow-up visits once the initial program ends.

You've been managing this alone for long enough. You've cycled through the quick fixes, the conflicting advice, the practitioners who didn't quite see you. It's time to stop coping and start thriving. To finally have someone in your corner who sees the intelligence in your symptoms and knows how to work with it. The exhaustion, the symptoms, the constant needs - they don't have to be your norm. There's another way forward.
It starts with one conversation.
“Truly integrative medicine encourages both healer and patient to embrace the complexity of life, to see the interconnectedness of all things. It helps us understand that the body is not a machine, but a living, breathing ecosystem, a microcosm of the natural world. True healing must address not only the symptoms but also the subtle imbalances and disharmonies that lie beneath the surface.”
