New to Naturopathic Medicine?
If you’re tired of feeling unheard by conventional medicine, or you’re looking for an approach that treats the whole person rather than just the symptoms, you’re in the right place. At Natural Integrative Healthcare, your first appointment lasts 90 to 120 minutes because your health story deserves that kind of attention.
Dr. Diefenbach will listen, ask the right questions, and begin building a personalized plan rooted in your unique biochemistry.
Meet Dr. Patricia Diefenbach, ND
Dr. Diefenbach is a licensed naturopathic physician with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, a Master of Science in Integrative Health Science, and certifications as both a Nutrition Specialist and a Personal Trainer.
She brings a global perspective to her practice, having lived across Europe before settling in the U.S., and is a former President of the Virginia Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
Her approach is personal. Dr. Diefenbach’s own wellness journey led her to discover the transformative power of naturopathic medicine, and that experience drives everything she does. She takes the time to understand what makes your body unique, examining the interconnected factors behind your symptoms rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.
I view health as more than just the absence of disease. When you are healthy, your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life is optimal. My goal is to help you achieve your optimum state of health.
I look forward to working with you!
