Dr. Kate is a naturopathic doctor and hormone specialist who helps women say goodbye to fatigue, mood swings, infertility and more by blending the best of modern medicine and traditional natural approaches.
What I Do
I provide naturopathic women’s wellness telehealth consults.
Naturopathic women’s wellness encompasses hormone and menstrual cycle health – including, but not limited to, PCOS, endometriosis, preconception, fertility optimizations, infertility, perimenopause and menopause.
It’s my mission to help women like you realize optimal health in the menstruating years – whether or not you choose to have children.

You can count on me to draw on my deep wells of scientific training, sage wisdom and next-level intuition.

Why I Do It
I want to lead and support you to nurture yourself – physically, emotionally, and spiritually – so that you have the freedom to be your best self. I believe that healthy women are the hub of a healthy world, and as healthier women we bring forth healthier and happier generations.

"I wanted to thank you directly for all the help you gave me during the year I saw you with my fertility. I know without a doubt I would not have been able to conceive if it wasn’t for you and all the suggestions and tips you gave me. I continue to recommend you to my friends that have any struggles conceiving as I know they would benefit from all your wisdom! I hope everything is going well for you. Thanks again so much"

"I started working with Dr. Naumes to optimize my health in preparation for IVF. It has been a great experience! She considers the whole person and her suggestions are easy to implement in your daily life. She even consulted with another ND to make sure that my wellness plan also addressed my non-fertility health issues. In the past four months, my energy level has increased and my body composition has changed. My FSH previously 18.4 is now 8.4. Not matter the outcome, these are lifelong changes and I feel like I’m better prepared than ever for a healthy pregnancy."
J.D.
"Before I started seeing Dr. Naumes I was pressured into birth control pills to regulate my hormones and for family planning purposes. In addition I battled years of digestive irregularity and vaginal dryness. Thanks to Dr. Naumes I was immediately able to discontinue birth control pills and rely on my own knowledge for family planning purposes. Once I was ready to grow my family, I only had to try for one month before getting pregnant. I now have a beautiful baby girl and enjoy the added benefits of digestive regularity, glowing skin, and balanced hormones."
K.N.
"I’d love to continue to meet with y’all even after we move. We’ve benefitted so much and would love to keep it up. I have nothing but wonderful things to say if any prospective clients want to talk to an existing one…."
K.A.
"THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I slept like a baby last night! [And] thanks for the book recommendations, they really helped me understand that this is what’s best for [my child]! It only takes her 2-3 minutes now to go to sleep on her own!"
N.K.
"Kate Naumes, ND is phenomenal! She nurtures so many families. Love her!"
D.W.
"Everyone needs Kate Naumes in their life, even if they don’t know it yet!"
S.S.
"This process with you has been a life altering experience. I appreciate the intelligence, thought, and caring you have provided to me as my doctor. I have literally never felt better in my entire life (no exaggeration). I think I gave up a while ago thinking I would just have to accept my mediocre health as a way of life, but you have proved me wrong, and I am so grateful for it. You are a wonderful, talented doctor, Kate. With my sincerest appreciation, thank you"
K.D.
"Thank you for my appointment today. I left there feeling rejuvenated and no longer tired. I very much enjoy my appointments with you and do look forward to them each month."
K.C.
"I am happy to report that his birth was 100% natural thanks to the incredible support of our OB, our childbirth counselor Dr. Kate Naumes, and two special neighbors who coached me through a relaxed (and super fast) labor at home and the hospital. It was truly a blessed experience."
