Naturopathic Care with Dr. Kelly Livingston
Work With Me
Experience the Vital Spirit Method through 1:1 care
What is the Vital Spirit Method?
The Vital Spirit Method™ is my signature whole-person approach to naturopathic medicine, designed to help women understand the patterns connecting their physical health, emotional well-being, and nervous system.
Together, we work across body, mind, and spirit to address root causes, restore resilience, and create an individualized path toward greater health and well-being.
Together we work to heal through the 4 pillars of wellness
01 Recognize & Remove
GUT-BRAIN AXIS HEALTH
We begin by looking for the patterns that may be contributing to how you feel, including digestion, the microbiome, nutrition, inflammation, blood sugar, and the bidirectional relationship between the gut and brain.
02 Regulate & Restore
NERVOUS SYSTEM + STRESS RESPONSE
We support the systems that help you adapt and recover, including your nervous system, HPA axis, sleep, and circadian rhythms. This may include breathwork, mindfulness, holistic counseling, and other individualized regulation practices.
03 Replenish & Rejuvenate
HORMONES + NEUROTRANSMITTERS
We look more deeply at the chemical messengers that influence energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, cognition, and hormonal health, using testing and individualized therapeutics when appropriate.
04 Rebalanced & Resilient
BODY, MIND + SPIRIT
As your physiology becomes more supported, our work expands toward integration: cultivating greater body awareness, exploring emotional patterns, and creating practices that help you feel more connected to yourself and the life you want to live.
As health becomes more deeply rooted, it often begins to show on the outside too.
The goal is not only to feel better, but to become more resilient, more connected, and more radiant from the inside out.

WHY IS THIS SO UNIQUE?
This approach is grounded in Naturopathic Medicine but is actually SO. MUCH. MORE.
Women are often surprised by how expansive my therapeutic toolkit is. Depending on what you need, our work may include both the clinical investigation of your physiology and therapies that support the nervous system, emotional health, and your relationship with your body.

The Vital Spirit Method is for you if you want to live more at peace and on purpose.
It is for you if you envision yourself feeling more and more naturally vibrant and healthy—effortlessly choosing to do more of the things you love (and those things actually being GOOD for you and your soul).
It is for you if you're navigating hormonal changes, digestive concerns, anxiety, depression, ADHD, brain fog, insomnia, or the physical and emotional effects of chronic stress. My approach recognizes that these concerns are often interconnected and that meaningful healing begins with understanding the whole person.
If you want a truly holistic approach to healing your body, mind, and spirit as one, this method is specifically designed for YOU.
Patient Success Stories
“Dr Livingston takes the time to really understand her patients and their history in order to best prescribe treatment and overall health guidance for their future. I have friends who have also worked with her and she came highly recommended. I am thankful for the work she did for me and the care with which she did it"
Patient, KB
“I have had the privilege of receiving care from Dr. Kelly. She helped me deal with some extremely complicated, life-threatening, neurological disorders, as well as some less serious but still very significant stress related health issues. She was patient, sensitive, and extremely insightful in both areas, she handled my questions with grace, patience, and encouraged me through some very dark moments. She still encourages me long after the episodes."
Patient, CD
“Dr. Kelly is just SO knowledgeable, she truly knows the medicine inside and out and how to apply it to the individual. I am so much more aware and see where my habits and routines were impacting my ability to have more balance. I feel equipped with a roadmap for how to transition my lifestyle to better support my needs and toolbox for when things go off track. PRICELESS. Thank you!!!""

WHAT TO EXPECT
Our Process Together
The Vital Spirit Method™ is the framework I use to guide personalized 1:1 naturopathic care. Together, we look beyond individual symptoms to understand the patterns connecting your gut, hormones, metabolism, mood, sleep, stress response, and nervous system, then build a personalized plan to support your health over time.
01
DISCOVERY CALL
Get started by booking your Discovery Call. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your unique health history and lifestyle, and the health goals you’re looking to achieve. We’ll also explore what it could look like to work together and whether my approach to care feels like the right fit for you.
02
NEW PATIENT ESTABLISHMENT OF CARE
Your first visit includes a comprehensive health assessment and an in-depth exploration of your primary concerns, health history, lifestyle, and health goals. Together, we begin connecting the patterns that may be contributing to how you feel and create your initial plan of care. Conventional and functional lab testing may also be ordered to help us understand your health more deeply.
03
REVIEW OF FINDINGS VISIT
At your Review of Findings, we bring the pieces together. We’ll review your lab and functional testing results, connect them with your health history, symptoms, and goals, and identify the patterns that may be influencing your health. From there, I’ll refine your comprehensive treatment plan with clear priorities, personalized recommendations, and next steps to support your progress over time.
Your health awakening journey starts here!
