D 1. Why are you passionate about your specialty?


I am passionate about what I do because of the considerable improve- ment in my patient’s health that I see when using a whole-body para- digm approach to patient care.


2. What sets you apart from other practitioners in the holistic dental fi eld?


Recognizing the physical and energetic relationship of the mouth to the rest of the body and how to incorporate this into patient care. Addressing problems in the mouth and all its related structures are central to achieving optimal health and should be part of every holistic practitioner’s treatment plan.


3. What can patients expect from working with you?


Using a combination of conventional and nonconventional dentistry along with an energetic paradigm, testing, and treatment, patients can expect to see an improvement in overall wellbeing.


4. Do you have any new therapies?


I am excited to have trained in Biomagnetic Pair Therapy. Like many modern medical discoveries and technologies, the space program was the genesis of Biomagnetism. Biomagnetism helps to restore the body’s homeostasis so that the body can begin to heal itself. Another new technology now offered in our practice is a wearable and treatable FDA Class II cleared device for pain. This amazing technology not only provides microcurrent frequencies for pain but provides frequencies of well-being and balance. You can experience both of these unique ser- vices at either our dental or medical divisions.

Dr. Michelle Pouliot, ND D


r. Pouliot has been in practice for 29 years. Therapies often involve botanical medicines, vitamins, minerals, diet and lifestyle strategies. She provides annual physicals gynecological care. Her specialties include cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine and gynecological/hormones/sexual


health, as well as autoimmune conditions. 1. Why are you passionate about your specialty?


I am dedicated to empowering my patients to achieve the good health and vitality they are seeking to live the life they want. Though my specialties include cardiology concerns, digestive issues such as IBS and SIBO, gynecology, hormone balancing, and sexual health; I’ve worked with many patients, women and men, with other health condi- tions. Patients may have the same diagnosis, but 29 years of experience has taught me, the journey to health is unique to each individual.


2. What sets you apart from other practitioners in the holistic fi eld? I’ve designed my solo practice so I always have an hour available


for each patient visit and take the time to review their chart before I see them. I schedule open time every offi ce day to be available for phone calls. I often request past medical records and spend hours of out of offi ce time researching, coordinating with their other physicians, ordering appropriate labs and tests and creating individual achievable treatment plans. Patients always get copies of their reports which we review. Thankfully, my patients want to be informed and involved, which I believe, is self-empowering and therapeutic.


3. Tell us about the best memory you have about being a holistic practitioner.


The most fulfi lling moments with my patients occur when we’ve dis-


covered a cause for their health challenge, and together we create a plan that inspires hope and move them towards healing.

The Center for Holistic Healthcare


he Center for Holistic Healthcare strives to provide the most ef- fective and patient-centered integrative and functional medicine experience for patients. Started by Alina Schneider, a nurse practitio- ner with several years of training with local naturopaths, the practice has quickly grown to include another nurse practitioner, Meghan Chafee, as well as a business manager and health coach, Sara Miller and our team of nurses. Alina, Meghan, and the team work together to uncover the root causes of illness and seek to address mind, body, and psyche in a patient’s path to health and wellness.


T 1. Why are you passionate about your specialty?


Alina and fellow nurse practitioner Meghan Chafee recognize that each individual is unique. Utilizing a combination of con- ventional, integrative, and natural therapies including supple- ments and herbal remedies, Alina and her team aim to serve the entire person. Whether it be menopausal complaints, struggles with depression or anxiety, or concerns with Lyme disease, the team of nurse practitioners and nurses are dedicated to empow- ering patients on their path to health and wellness. Indeed, this mind-body-spirit philosophy is what drew Alina and Meghan to the fi eld of nursing in the fi rst place. “The nursing tradition has always recognized that health is not simply the absence of dis- ease, but rather a complex interplay between several factors in our lives, whether it’s the foods we eat, or our social supports, or our underlying physiology,” says Meghan. “If we only focus on treating a patient’s symptoms, without recognizing the whole person behind the symptoms, we may end up doing more harm than good."


2. What sets you apart from other practitioners in the holistic fi eld?


In addition to offering traditional primary care services for patients of all ages such as annual physical exams and sick vis- its, the Center for Holistic Healthcare provides innovative ser- vices such as IV vitamin therapy, bio-identical hormone therapy, micro-needling, and platelet-rich plasma procedures, including the celebrity favorite, the Vampire Facial. Alina has a special interest in integrative mental health practices, while Meghan’s interests include women’s health. The Center for Holistic Healthcare also provides ketamine and Spravato treatments for patients struggling with treatment-resistant depression and other mental health concerns.


3. Tell us about the best memory you have about being a holistic practitioner.


Starting my own business and opening in the middle of the


COVID-19 pandemic brought with it a certain degree of trepida- tion. However, despite that, or perhaps because if it, the practice grew quickly enough that by October when Meghan joined me, we were able to bring on additional nursing staff, as well as part- ner with other local business to offer our services!


4. What plans do you have for the future for your practice ?


New ventures include offering vitamin shots, peptides and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments in partnership with local salons. As always, we continue to research new and innovative methods to offer our patients the most effective ways to achieve physical and emotional health. We are hoping to open a second location in 2021!
