About Dr Bigelow
Naturopathic Physician
I have been a Naturopathic Doctor since 2004 and an herbalist since age 16. I graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM, formerly NCNM) and completed a two-year family practice residency. I was an academic and clinical faculty member at NUNM for over 15 years, teaching Environmental Medicine and IV therapy, as well as being the proprietor of Vital Vinegars, an infused vinegar company.
Growing up in the Mountain West, I first became interested in wild plants as foods and medicine while on a 10-day backpacking trip in the Tetons when I was 15 years old. While on this trip, my food supply became depleted, leading me to supplement my diet with wild edible plants. From this experience, I realized first- hand that food and medicine haven't always come from grocery stores or pharmacies and that the Earth has been providing for us for millennia. Born out of a life-changing experience with edible natural plants, this realization was the seed of what has become a life-long passion and appreciation for natural medicine.

Twenty years of patient care have revealed to me the intimate connection between mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health.
I am dedicated to providing integrative mental health care to those in need using Ketamine and other psychedelic medicine, along with consultations and psychedelic integration.
Integrative Mental Health
Good nutrition, healthy movement and quality rest are the foundations of good health. Mental health is no different. There may be biological reasons why you aren’t feeling your best, such as hypothyroidism or anemia. I can help you find and address the cause and get you back to living your life to the fullest.
Ketamine
Ketamine is increasingly being used in mental health treatment for its rapid-acting antidepressant effects, showing promise for treating depression, anxiety, PTSD and more. Paired with sound healing, I use IV and IM ketamine in a supportive setting where you are never left alone.

Hormonal Health
