Naturopathic Primary Care Physician

Carrie is a highly qualified licensed naturopathic primary care physician from the United States. These are well sought after practitioners and only a few practise as Naturopathic Physicians in Australia. Carrie earned her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, Oregon, which is a government regulated and certified educational institution.

NCNM's Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine is a four-year full-time postgraduate program that trains holistic primary care physicians who are then required to take two sets of board exams in order to be licensed to practise. Carrie received her practice license through the Oregon Board of Naturopathic Examiners (OBNE) in Oregon, USA. She also received her bachelors degree in psychology with a concentration in premedical sciences from The George Washington University in Washington DC. In addition to her degrees Carrie has completed advanced training in homeopathy, Core Synchronism (a combination of cranial osteopathy and polarity therapy), women’s health and natural childbirth.
