Welcome Dr. Layton!
Dr. Layton a Naturopathic Physcian joins the All That Matters team.

Naturopathic medicine is a system of healing based on the wisdom that the body will heal itself if it is given the support it needs. Naturopaths are trained to recognize and treat all common medical conditions, but focus on prevention and use of alternative treatments. For any medical issue from menstrual pain to fatigue, naturopathic medicine seeks to find and treat the root cause of a person’s illness, in addition to alleviating symptoms. Therapies include detoxification, nutritional supplements, diet modifications, allergy elimination techniques (NAET), herbal medicine and homeopathy
Dr. Layton completed her undergraduate work in Neuroscience and Behavior at Mount Holyoke College in 1999. She earned her doctorate degree in 2006 from Bastyr University, one of only four nationally accredited 4-year schools of naturopathic medicine. After her training, she spent two years working in an integrated clinic in Atlanta, GA along with alternative and conventional doctors. Now back in her native RI, she enjoys working with people of all ages, designing treatments for health issues of all kinds that are based on current scientific evidence as well as ones that are rooted in years of tradition.
She will be seeing patients starting September 08 on Monday and Thursday by appointment.
