Naturopathic Doctor

"True healing happens when the whole person is considered, not just limiting their wellness to the collection of their symptoms. Each person deserves to have a doctor who listens fully to them."
Dr. Bottrill's journey to integrative medicine

The Path to Integrative Medicine

My journey into integrative medicine was very personal. I was misdiagnosed for years with what turned out to be an autoimmune condition. While I was on the path to becoming a conventional physician, it was naturopathic doctors who truly helped me heal.

I knew something was wrong with my body, but since my labs were all "within normal limits", conventional doctors were unable and unwilling to help. Too many people, like me, are receiving prescriptions without addressing the underlying causes of their illness—and I knew there had to be a better way.

My personal experience inspired me to learn complementary and alternative therapies, utilizing nutrition, herbal medicine, and mind-body work, along with conventional approaches.

With a passion in women's health, I also pursued additional training and certifications in peri and menopausal health, determined to offer my patients a more comprehensive approach to overall health and aging.

Philosophy of Care

Dr. Bottrill's philosophy of care

Having experienced first hand the limitations of treating patients with a purely symptom-focused approach, my goal is to make sure every patient is heard, validated, and feel their symptoms are taken seriously, regardless of what their test results may be.

I aim to make a real, lasting difference in people's lives by addressing root causes and empowering them with knowledge and tools for optimal health. Today, I'm honored to practice medicine that treats the whole person.

My Core Principles:

  • Listen First: Every symptom tells a story. I take time to understand your complete health history, lifestyle, and goals before recommending treatment.
  • Treat the Root Cause: Rather than masking symptoms, I investigate and address the underlying imbalances causing your health concerns.
  • Integrate the Best of All Worlds: I combine evidence-based conventional medicine with proven complementary therapies for optimal outcomes.
  • Empower Through Education: Knowledge is healing. It is my goal for you to understand your body, your condition, and your treatment options. To truly become in-tuned with what your body is telling you.
  • Support the Whole Person: True wellness encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Beyond the Clinic

I take to heart the quote by Hippocrates, "Physician, heal thyself", and practice what I preach when it comes to wellness. My own health journey has taught me the importance of balance, mindfulness, and staying connected to nature—lessons I share with my patients every day.

When I'm not seeing patients, you'll find me:

  • Anywhere Outside: I am a HUGE lover of the outdoors. Whether it be at the beach, running, or sitting in my backyard with friends and family. Outside is my "happy place."
  • Gardening: Not only does this allow me to be outside, but provides the gratification of planting seeds and watching them grow! I love to plant all types of flowers, herbs and vegetables. I am excited to expand my vegetable garden this summer!
  • Reading and learning: I'm constantly studying new research in integrative medicine, nutrition, and holistic healing modalities. I truly enjoy learning, and then sharing my knowledge with my family, friends and patients.
  • Spending time with family: This is my most favorite thing to do. I am a mom to 4 boys, and wife to my wonderful husband. We were a prior military family and have learned to truly appreciate and value our time together.
  • Giving back: I'm actively involved in our local community, a member of our town's Women's Club, as well as on the board of our school's PTO.
