Dr. Emily Maiella
Dr. Emily Maiella practiced primary care medicine for the first few years of her practice before moving into speciality practice of Lyme disease and Tick Borne Illnesses, long standing viral infections, and complex chronic disease in general.
She is a perpetual student of medicine, learning and traveling to expand her scope of knowledge, with the primary goal of bringing it back home to help her patients.
With all health conditions, she begins by reminding her patients that their bodies are wise and capable of healing, given the right environment/opportunity. (The Vis Medicatrix Naturae). Together, Dr. Maiella and her patients create a plan that focuses on balance and restoration the body. This may include using a variety of natural plant-based anti-microbials/immune modulators, hormone regulation, detoxification of heavy metals and toxins, dental health analysis, gastrointestinal healing and psycho-emotional-spiritual work.
She uses a number of modalities to inquire into the body and to help guide treatments. A thorough history and getting to know her patients is a priority, as often times, patients’ already know why they are unwell and what they need to heal. Just a gentle guiding and inquiry is needed.
Dr. Maiella offers this guidance and helps patients to identify and resolve traumas/conflicts using EMDR/EMDR Intensives.
Your self reflection and inner work will synergize and strengthen all of the other suggested physical body treatments.
Dr. Maiella is currently working on opening the Windhorse Woman clinic, which is a clinic dedicated to women in peri and post menopause. The clinic will be a place where women can re-focus on themselves, and reestablish their connection with changing body. The peri/menopausal body has new requirements, and Dr. Maiella helps women to learn about the new dietary goals, and exercise targets. The purpose of this clinic is to keep you (or get you) feeling VIBRANT and strong, while more subtly benefiting from the optimization of internal processes, such as keeping your bones healthy and your mind strong. Windhorse Woman is not an trendy anti-aging clinic, that lures woman into thinking that they will magically become a younger woman (often times by administration of high dose hormones.) Our goal here is to optimize your health span, and when hormone replacement therapy is used, it is in a conscientious and individualized fashion. And its never the only modality.
Dr. Maiella loves living close to nature by growing organic vegetables, fruits and meats, and being a graceful steward of the earth. She loves nurturing all things natural and wild, including (but not limited to) her bees and kids (humans and goats).
