Julie Forbes, N.D., seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than merely eliminate or suppress symptoms. She treats each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social and other factors.

She attended the State University of New York at Oneonta where she studied Chemistry and Business Economics, and the University of New Hampshire where she obtained an MBA. She received her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from National College of Portland, Oregon and also attended the New England School of Homeopathy. Dr. Forbes is a member of the Maine Association of Naturopathic Physicians and the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Dr. Forbes often teaches classes and workshops on Naturopathy and Homeopathy.

Services:

As a Naturopathic Physician I perform physical examinations, laboratory testing, gynecological exams, nutritional and dietary assessments, metabolic analysis and as a referring physician order radiological studies through local hospitals. Homeopathy is my main treatment modality supported by Hydrotherapy, Clinical Nutrition, and Botanical Medicine. Counseling and Stress Management are important elements in the healing process since mental and emotional states can be important factors in healing illnesses.

Acute and chronic illnesses can be treated very successfully with homeopathy and other naturopathic modalities including asthma, allergies, strep throat, candida, cancer, hypertension, ear infections, depression, anxiety, heart disease and many other common ailments that limit peoples lives.

Special Information:

As a classical homeopath I am particularly interested in the treatment of children and their parents as early in their lives as possible to effect the best possible advantage for balance and health. An avid swimmer and polio survivor, I am a proponent of water exercise therapeutically and aerobically. I am also a lucky mother of a beautiful adopted Chinese daughter.
