Meet Dr Nina

Simply put, I want you to live optimally.

My daily quest is to help patients find answers to restore their health and not just Band-Aid their symptoms.

I have dedicated my life to functional (naturopathic/integrated) medicine in hopes of finding the balance between conventional and alternative medicine in the prevention and treatment of disease and ailments.

After finishing a bachelor’s degree in biology and biomedical science from Colorado State University, I completed a four year doctorate at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM) graduating as a Naturopathic Doctor.

Focusing my training on complex chronic disease and especially neurologic disease, I have spent over a decade working with a diverse range of people and I truly love my job every day.

I am a ReCODE certified practitioner providing care for those at risk for, or dealing with, dementia. I am continually enhancing my knowledge and currently enrolled in the neurology fellowship training through AARM.

By approaching medicine through a balanced and integrated lens, we can often find improvement in even the most challenging of concerns.

About Naturopathic Medical Education

  • Attend four years of undergraduate studies followed by four years of nationally accredited medical school.
  • Take national licensing exams after two and four years.
  • Classes in the first two years are similar for all trained physicians, consisting of the basics like anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology and others.
  • Training in the last two years consists of more specialized clinical education including integrated and alternative medical treatments.
  • Naturopathic diagnosis is very similar to allopathic doctors (MD’s and DO’s), using physical examination, blood tests, stool tests, EKG’s, and referring to specialists for special diagnostic tests, to name a few, but treatment is where we often greatly differ.
  • We are taught all the same principles as any other family physician: how to prescribe pharmaceuticals, deliver babies, perform minor surgery, and refer out for specialty treatment when appropriate.
  • We have great success utilizing less invasive and less harmful treatments such as nutrition and lifestyle coaching, natural supplementation, botanical medicine, homeopathic remedies, acupuncture, manual body manipulations, IV therapy and hydrotherapy.
