About Dr. Felty
Dr. Felty's mission is to guide and empower individuals to uncover the root causes of their health issues and promote healing from within.
​
Having personally battled Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease, Dr. Felty sought out various holistic, integrative, and functional practitioners worldwide. Through this journey, she discovered diverse methods to activate self-healing and restore wholeness in the mind, body, and spirit. Initially, she was advised that lifelong medication was necessary and that the disease could be fatal without surgical removal of her colon. Defying these predictions, Dr. Felty has been medicine-free for over 15 years and retained her colon intact.
​
While she acknowledges the crucial role of medications and surgeries in acute emergencies and short-term interventions, Dr. Felty has learned that true healing of chronic issues requires addressing the underlying roots of dis-ease: thoughts, beliefs, emotions, toxins, diet, lifestyle, and trauma.
Dr. Felty believes that health and healing are achievable for everyone when we seek to answer: "why am I sick and what is this teaching me to discover about myself?". She understands that each person's healing journey is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all protocol. In addition to holding a doctorate in naturopathic medicine, Dr. Felty has extensive training in somatic healing, psychoneuroimmunology, shamanism, sound healing, trauma, and psychedelic therapies.
Dr. Felty's personal health experience has led her to establish Natural Advancement Consulting, a personalized consulting practice dedicated to guide and empower individuals to uncover the root causes of their health issues and regain the freedom to live fully.
When Dr. Felty isn't helping clients improve their health and wellbeing, she's enjoying time with her family and friends. She loves to travel, dance, listen to music, workout, and be in nature.
