Dr. Colleen Gagliardi, naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist, has recently opened her Naturopathic and Acupuncture Center located within Notaro Chiropractic, at 4754 North French Road, East Amherst.
Gagliardi is also seeing clients within the Notaro Chiropractic offices in Niagara Falls and Grand Island.
Gagliardi, who originally grew up in Middleport, New York, has practiced naturopathy and acupuncture in the Seattle, Washington, and Denver, Colorado, areas.
She currently provides naturopathic approaches, Chinese medicine and acupuncture therapy to the Western New York community.
Gagliardi graduated from Bastyr University in Seattle in 2004 with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and graduated from CSTCM with a master’s degree in traditional Chinese medicine in 2011.
More recently, Gagliardi was part of the integrative health team at the Montana Center for Wellness and Pain Management (part of the Kalispell Regional Medical Center) in Kalispell, Montana.
Gagliardi specializes in natural approaches to recurrent headaches, chronic pain, anxiety, hormonal/thyroid imbalances and IBS.
Gagliardi reminds her clients that “something” is causing their recurrent issues — and that what is needed is to figure out what the underlying cause is and address it, so that it is addressed for the long run.
“People are always surprised at how frequently the foods they eat, as well as exposures to environmental toxicities, or that nutrient deficiencies actually are the underlying ‘something’ that is contributing to their recurrent issues,” Gagliardi said.
She also reminds her clients of the common sense basics that individuals’ parents used to tell them: “Eat all your vegetables, be nice to others, sit up straight, and — her favorite — go outside and play.”
