Mission Health focuses on our foundations of heath, functional nutrition integration, mindfulness based practices, mental health counseling, personal fulfillment and direction, herbalism, medication/supplement management, second opinions, and ethical prescribing. Above all else, we prioritize patient education.
We are heavily immersed in the neuro/endo/immune model. Meaning that the effects of chronic illness, autoimmunity, hormone and neurological disease are comprehensive and overlapping, often with psychological ramifications. We see and treat psychological complaints, autoimmunity, hormone dysfunction, neurological disease, and chronic conditions. Our staff is comprised of our naturopathic physician and registered herbalist Dr. Kristen Acesta, ND, RH, naturopathic physician Dr. Olivia Giguere, ND, LMT, licensed mental health counselor and registered art therapist Dr. Courtney Mohr Taylor, PhD, LMHC, REAT, licensed mental health counselor Emily Laughlin LMHC, nutritional therapist Hannah Roeter, FNTP, and our talented bodyworker Loni McKenzie LMP focusing on structural integration, prenatal, and flower essences. |
Better your Equation.
Better your Health. A + B + C = D Health /helTH/ a simple equation Genetics [A]: What we are born with. We can look at our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents and see a long lineage of health patterns due to our genetic makeup. Genetics are what determines what eye color we have all the way to what diseases we may be susceptible to. Lifestyle and Social factors [B]: What we choose to put into and do to our body. This is probably the most versatile and adjustable variable in our quality of health. We work with each individual to modify and optimize their lifestyle habits and choices to best suit their needs. Diet, exercise, sleep, and relationships are our foundations of health and the most influential aspects to this equation. Environmental factors [C]: Our physical environment that surrounds us. Our body is equipped with detoxification and depuration mechanisms, but sometimes our “toxic load” becomes too great and causes a disruption in our balance of health. Consider the environmental impact on your health, such as the containers we eat from, the air we breath, water we drink, pets we snuggle with, etc. Health [D]: The result of the equation. The quality of your health is directly related the variables described above. We can address all aspects of the equation and guide you to your optimal being. Be curious about this adventure. It is an ever rewarding and self fulfilling journey, and it begins now. |
