Speaker Bio
Dr. Abbott (Doc Rabbit, to some) has made sleep medicine a growing focus of her practice since 2014, under mentorship of Dr. Catherine Darley, ND (founder of The Institute of Naturopathic Sleep Medicine). She has been a speaker for sleep medicine at both NHAND and NAPCP conferences. In 2021, she moved from Washington State to rejoin her family in central New Hampshire, now operating a sleep-centric practice in Plymouth.
