Dr. Lindsay Chimileski is a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist. Her whole life she has had an enthralled devotion to exploring the natural world. Naturally, this evolved into interests in herbal medicine, mushrooms, real food nutrition and living a more natural lifestyle. When she learned of naturopathic medicine, and that it was a unique specialty that allowed her to combine her love of nature and understanding human behavior and psychology, she knew it was the right path for her. Prior to her start in medicine, she focused on counseling and psychology while studying Human Development and Family Studies at the University of Connecticut. After falling in love with Traditional Chinese Medicine, she completed a Masters of Acupuncture as well. Dr. Chimileski co-leads ecotours through the Jamaican rainforests, celebrating the traditional ethnobotanical uses of local plant medicines. In her spare time, she enjoys all things nature, gardening, hiking, and practicing yoga.
