Meet Dr. Catalina
Dr. Giselle Catalina is a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor who graduated from Bastyr University in San Diego. Originally from Maine, she holds a B.A. from Georgetown University and she is fluent in Spanish.
She treats a wide variety of conditions, with an emphasis on digestive, autoimmune, hormonal, and cardiometabolic concerns. She looks at all aspects of a person's mental, emotional, and physical health, along with environment, genetics, and lifestyle, to create a personalized and dynamic treatment plan.

The right therapy for you
Whether you've tried everything or don't even know where to begin, we will collaborate on treatment goals and a realistic roadmap for how to get there.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I use a wide range of modalities. I don't use one-size-fits-all protocols; I tailor the plan to you. Many naturopathic treatments offer multiple benefits at once, unlike prescription drugs used for a single action.
If it doesn't work as well as expected, or life gets in the way of sticking to the plan, we will try something else. You always have a voice — and a choice — when it comes to treatment.
