I have been seeing Dr. Sweet regularly for the past two years. Since our first visit her dedication to my health and well-being has been unwavering and I have seen dramatic improvements in my issues. Her care considers all of my life and she takes the time to work with me collaboratively, empowering me as she gives. I count myself as lucky to call her my doctor!
Sarah C“Dr. Sweet and Dr. Chelesa Mayer are the two most incredible doctors I’ve ever had. The fact that they are now in one clinic is beyond amazing for their patients. Dr. Sweet was the first doctor to help me after five years of chronic pain. She is practical and grounded, a brilliant diagnostician, and just a wonderful person to have in your community. She brings to the table knowledge in so many areas of medicine and physical therapy, from acupuncture to Mayan abdominal massage and back again. It feels like she has always more in her tool belt no matter how perplexing your problem may be because she has studied so many different areas of medicine. After having my son, Dr. Sweet refered me to Dr. Mayer for postpartum hip pain. I have never been able to heal from something so quickly and wholly as I did with Dr. Mayer. I’ve also never been so immediately comfortable with someone and able to trust them completely as I was with Dr. Mayer. After seeing her for one appointment, I already felt fifty percent better in my hip and even more so in my soul. I could not stop talking about the experience because it was so positive and healing. I wish everyone in the world could see Dr. Mayer and Dr. Sweet.”
Laura DAt peak fitness at age 58, I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis at L-3 and L-4 to go along with my bulging disc problems at L-5 and L-6. I could no longer ski, hike, garden or engage in many of my normal activities. Surgery was not an option. I worked with several highly reputable physical therapists for several years only to find an increase in my neuralgia, muscle cramps, foot numbness, back aches and sleep problems. Inactive, I gained at least 25 pounds. I became depressed. Enter Dr. Mayer. She immediately diagnosed that I had a long term posture problem that exacerbated my symptoms and thwarted more traditional therapies. We literarily started at the bottom, the lowest part of my back, and through a series of postures and movements my sway back began to straighten. With time, my symptoms receded; the vertigo, the pins and needles, the numbness, the back pain, and the depression. I treasure my relationship with Dr. Mayer for the way she inspires me keep up with my health practices. Learning together has brought us closer together. I can not recommend a better partner for creating and maintaining a life with good health!

“Dr. Sweet has been an absolute life saver for me. She has been the first doctor in over 25 years to find the answers to my lengthy list of health problems. She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and so pleasant to talk to that I now look forward to going to the doctor! Her supportive and calm nature always puts me at ease and her persistence has brought me the confidence I have needed to conquer the challenges I have faced with my body. I am so thankful for her amazing care!
Dr. Mayer was referred to me by Dr. Sweet and has been such a huge help in my healing process. She has a surprisingly unique and different approach to the physical therapy I have had in the past which has created such a safe and loving space to heal. Her gentle, yet effective techniques have been a pleasant change from the aggressive and painful methods I was used to. Her empathetic nature and kind spirit provide an understanding to sensitive subjects that made me feel sincerely cared for from the first time I saw her. I would recommend her services to anyone!”
Jenny LI saw Chelesa for chronic shoulder pain that limited my ability to do physical work and athletic activities. She used a unique blend of physical therapy, body-work, and intuitive modalities to guide me to a complete resolution of my shoulder issues. I have never had a more positive experience with a health care practitioner.
Matt HI met Dr. Hopkins at a time after I tried everything to improve my digestive health and truly felt hopeless. I had taken expensive tests, seen specialists, was vigilant about self-care yet I was not getting better. From the first time I met with her, I felt an instant trust and sense of relief because of her ability to listen and respect my journey up to that point. This alone created an immediate sense of ease, trust and renewed hope that I would be able to find full vitality again. Dr. Hopkins made the next steps feel clear, easy and manageable to get into action while also relaxing into the process. I am free and clear of SIBO and digestive distress after a long journey only to which I have Dr. Hopkins to thank. I have worked with countless holistic practitioners and her ability to combine proven techniques with a deep sense of empathy and respect for the individual healing journey makes her an extraordinary practitioner who I would recommend to anyone struggling with their health.

“Dr. Melissa Kuser has been a true medical partner, supporting me on my health journey for four years (and
counting)! I’ve always been seen by others as appearing healthy – but I knew my digestive system needed care
and balance, and the mainstream medical response to my PCOS was ‘I’ll just worry about this when you
want to get pregnant’;. Dr. Melissa has supported my whole body health with Mayan Abdominal Massage,
acupuncture, herbal remedies, and sparing Western medicine when needed. At almost 36 years old, I can now
say I'm in the best FULL health of my life. I have no doubt that our work in addressing my SIBO, and then in
supporting pelvic health and hormonal balance, readied me to become a mother. I got pregnant on a fast
timeline – quite unexpected by the mainstream medical folks – and have a wonderful one-year old kiddo.”
“Dr. Sweet has been a tremendous pillar of support in my healing journey. A few years ago, I sleuthed naturopath biographies to find a good doctor who had interest in working with patients struggling with anxiety and digestive issues. Finding a good doctor who approached health by healing the whole body was my priority because I see the body as an interconnected unit. Dr. Sweet’s bio sounded like a good fit, so I mustered up the courage to make an appointment. The first session was fantastic. I didn’t find a good doctor, I found a GREAT doctor. Not only did Dr. Sweet have the experience and interest in working with patients in my situation, but she was genuinely excited to work with me. She made me feel at ease making this leap. Over the course of a few years, she has taught me how to work with my body by sharing nutrition plans and emotional healing advice and alleviating pain by acupuncture and massage. The wisdom of Chinese medicine is very real and Dr. Sweet is an expert as using it by uncovering the root of my issues. Dr. Sweet is like a detective, therapist, and doctor wrapped up into one being. She is a true healer with a big heart.”
Mindy H“Dr. Melissa Kuser was recommended to me by a trusted friend. I find I look forward to my visits with Dr. Kuser.
She is incredibly smart, perceptive and kind. I appreciate how she spends time with me to find out the source
of what is wrong vs. putting a “band-aid” on the symptoms. Trust me, I have given her much to work on
including anti immune, joint, diet, gut, and accident issues. She communicates with me in person and by email
to ensure I am comfortable and knowledgeable about what is going on with my body. I believe under her care, I
have added years to my life by giving my body the care and nutrition it needs. I have and will continue to
recommended Dr. Kuser to anyone who will listen.”
“I truly believe Dr. Melissa Kuser is the reason we have a beautiful toddler with us today.
We had been having fertility issues for a year and a half. I had been to other
naturopaths, tried teas, supplements, and many other non-invasive methods. We were
about to start IVF when I started seeing Melissa. We met for an evaluation and blood
work, and I will never forget her telling my husband and I (with tears in my eyes) at my
follow up appointment, ‘Give me a few months, you can get pregnant.’; We decided we
would try her advice for 3 months, and then go the course of IVF. A mix of the right
supplements and a few Mayan abdominal massages later, and we were pregnant in a
month and a half! She helped me through the pregnancy and post-pregnancy and is
again supporting me during my second.
I love seeing her throughout the pregnancy and post for the Mayan massages… I
always feel more connected with myself and the baby after our visits. Melissa has great
calm energy – and is always welcoming and non-judgmental. I will continue to see her
for years to come – and recommend her to any of my friends struggling with fertility!”
