The first step is to schedule a FREE 15-minute discovery call here. During this brief conversation, you’ll share your main concerns and goals, and we’ll determine if working together is a good fit. Dr. Katy sees patients in person at her Rockland, ME clinic and also offers online/telehealth visits for those who prefer virtual care.

Yes. Elemental Health is deliberately designed as a complete program rather than one-off visits.

Here’s why:

• Consistent Care Leads to Better Results: Research (and experience!) shows that ongoing follow-up is crucial for meaningful, lasting improvements in your health.

• Deep-Dive Approach: Working together in a structured framework allows me to thoroughly understand your unique situation and tailor treatments over time, rather than addressing issues superficially in a single visit.

• Comprehensive Support: The program includes the right mix of lab work, acupuncture, personalized protocols, and consistent check-ins—making it more effective than sporadic visits.

• Maintenance & Follow-Ups: After you complete the initial program, you’re welcome to continue with a customized maintenance plan or occasional check-ins at your discretion.

By committing to the full Elemental Health program, you’re ensuring you get the comprehensive care and consistent follow-up needed for real transformation.

No, I do not bill insurance directly. However, if your plan covers out-of-network services for naturopathic medicine or acupuncture, I can provide you with a superbill for potential reimbursement.

• Superbill for Reimbursement: After each visit, I can issue a detailed receipt (often called a “superbill”) that you may submit to your insurer. Reimbursement depends on whether your policy covers out-of-network services.

• Why I Don’t Bill Insurance Directly: I believe in a direct, patient-focused relationship without third-party restrictions. Insurance companies often dictate which treatments they will or won’t cover, which can limit the options we explore together.

• Personalized Care Matters: By working outside the insurance model, I’m free to tailor every aspect of your healthcare to your unique needs—ensuring we can explore the treatments that best serve your goals.

If you’re unsure about your coverage, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider and ask about out-of-network benefits for naturopathic medicine and acupuncture.

I have a special focus on the following areas:

Women's and hormonal health issues including fertility and preconception care, perimenopause and menopause, painful periods (PMS/PMDD), irregular periods, PCOS, thyroid issues, prenatal adjunctive care, and postpartum care for mothers.

Digestive issues including constipation, diarrhea, GERD, IBS/IBD, and gas/bloating.

Mental health issues including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout.

Absolutely. In many cases, laboratory testing is part of your personalized care plan. I most commonly work with a phlebotomist right in our office, making it easy for you to complete necessary tests. We also partner with several cash-based labs that offer competitive pricing. Depending on your coverage or personal preferences, we can choose the option that best fits your needs. If you’d like price quotes before ordering labs, I’m always happy to provide those so there are no surprises.

I provide adjunctive, integrative healthcare meant to supplement—not replace—primary care services.

I encourage all my patients to establish and maintain a relationship with a primary care provider for routine checkups and urgent concerns. My role is to collaborate and support you in achieving holistic well-being alongside your regular medical care.

Regular Follow-Ups: We’ll schedule follow-up appointments as part of your treatment plan so I can track your progress, adjust therapies, and ensure you’re on the right path.

Messaging via Practice Better: For quick questions or clarifications, you can message me directly in our secure patient portal. I typically respond within 1–2 business days.

Complex or New Concerns: If your question involves a new or more complex issue, I may recommend booking an additional visit. This ensures we have enough time to thoroughly evaluate and address your concerns.

Emergency Situations: For urgent medical needs, please contact your primary care provider, visit an urgent care clinic, or call 911.

Absolutely! The Elemental Health Program lays a strong foundation for our ongoing partnership. Many patients choose to continue with regular or as-needed follow-up visits once the initial program ends.
