Many of you have worked with me over the years, and you have seen that I have had students from the college shadow my practice. I love to teach new students to become naturopathic doctors. This year, we have decided to set up an accredited CNME residency here at Living Wellness, and we have our first resident who has come on board. Many of you have probably already met her. Dr. Watkins shadowed me for about a year-and-a-half while she was still a student doing her clinical training. Now she’s come on board as our first resident, and I am thrilled to have her here!

With that, I’ll leave it to Dr. Watkins to introduce herself:

My parents have a running joke that my name should have been Why instead of Olivia because I perpetually asked questions. I was a curious child, and my science encouraged me to continue asking questions. I remember spending hours in discovery with my first microscope and slides, given to me as a gift from my dad (thank you!). I wanted to know more about science and its influence on the world.

Through years of studying the sciences and gaining clarity in my personal beliefs and understanding of health and wellness, I found my path to naturopathic medicine. During my time at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona, a dear mentor recommended I request a clinical shadowing rotation with Dr. Leila Turner, ND. I ended my last year of medical school shadowing Dr. Turner, and it was incredibly enlightening (and fun)! I am proud and humbled to have been selected as the first resident physician at Living Wellness Medical Center.

I love what I do as a naturopathic physician because it challenges me in the realm of science, but it also allows me to educate and inspire my patients as they achieve and maintain their personal health goals. I love that naturopathic medicine allows the time and has the capacity to look at the whole person. Providing care through the fundamental principles of naturopathic medicine places emphasis on treating the root causes of disease while supporting individualized care that utilizes holistic and conventional treatments.

Nutritional counseling, Acupuncture, and Botanical medicine are a few therapeutic modalities I utilize in my approach to patient care. Every patient is unique, and they all come with interesting stories and experiences. Interacting with my patients keeps me excited and engaged to go to work every day.

Dr. Watkins utilizes safe, effective, and natural modalities to treat many conditions, such as:

  • Menstrual Irregularities
  • Uterine Fibroids
  • Abnormal Pap smears/HPV
  • PCOS
  • PMS
  • Menopausal Symptoms
  • Fatigue
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Diabetes (Type 2)
  • Hypertension

  • Metabolic Syndrome
  • SIBO
  • Constipation
