Naturopathic doctor heals patients through holistic practices
NEW HAVEN, CT (WFSB) – A New Haven naturopathic doctor has been recognized this Black History Month for exploring healing bodies using holistic methods.
Dr. Jennifer Pierre, ND, MPH, Naturopathic Physician & Public Health Professional, learned about natural remedies through her Haitian background.
She uses some of these methods through her business, Jenteel Nature Health.
“In terms of representation, you learn very quickly not only do you have to be the best, but you recognize that your presence is going to be inspiring to someone else,” said Dr. Pierre.
Dr. Pierre started her journey with medicine in public health and had a career change to Naturopathic medicine after coming across herbal remedies during research.
Although Acupuncture is included in her offerings, ninety-five percent of her patients visit her through telemedicine.
During the pandemic, Pierre made the switch primarily servicing patients virtually, but her mission remains the same, to bridge the gap between natural medicine and western medicine, but also increase acceptance for Black, female naturopaths.
After twenty years in the field, Dr. Pierre said representation and healing patients like Victoria Majewski are what keeps her going.
