ABOUT DR. CRESENCIA FELTY
Dr. Felty's mission is to guide and empower individuals to reclaim power and freedom back from stressful health issues. Her goal is to reduce suffering, one person at a time.
Dr. Felty had Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory stomach disease, off and on for 20 years. She has worked with various holistic, integrative, and functional practitioners from all over the world, learning different methods to activate self healing and restore wholeness in the mind, body, and spirit. Before searching for alternative ways to heal, she was told that she would be on medications for life and it could be fatal if she didn't surgically remove her colon. She has been medicine free for more than 15 years and never removed her colon.
She understands that medications and surgery can be life saving and helpful in acute emergencies and for short term interventions. However, she has learned that to TRULY heal chronic issues you must work on the roots of dis-ease: thoughts, beliefs, emotions, toxins, diet, lifestyle, and trauma.
Cresencia is a trained primary care naturopathic and functional medicine physician and has studied additional fields to create a holistic approach to healing such as psychoneuroimmunology, mind-body healing, consciousness coaching, shamanism, trauma healing, energy healing, mindset coaching, spiritual counseling, and psychedelic therapies.
She knows that health and healing is possible for everyone when blocks to wellness are removed and released. She gets that this is a unique process for each person and there is not a one size fits all protocol or algorithm.
This is why she created Natural Advancement Consulting, a personalized consulting practice dedicated to help people heal their health problems and regain freedom to live life fully. Her role is not a doctor, but as a guide, teacher, and fellow human to support you on this journey.
When Dr. Felty isn't helping clients improve their health/life/biz, she's enjoying life with her dog Ruby. She loves to travel, dance, listen to music, workout, worship God, hang with friends/family, and be in nature.
