Areas of Care

Whole-person care,
deeply personalized.

Dr. Ballew works with patients across a wide range of health concerns from the comfort of their home. The four areas below reflect her deepest clinical expertise — where she has the greatest depth of training and years of focused experience. Dr. Ballew offers naturopathic telehealth services throughout California including the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, and all surrounding communities.

Women's Health

Hormonal balance, menstrual concerns, PMS, perimenopause, menopause, and fertility support — including functional hormone testing. Dr. Ballew brings particular depth and warmth to this area and welcomes patients at every stage of a woman's life.

Children's Health

Gentle, non-toxic naturopathic care for infants, children, and teens — immune support, digestive concerns, allergies, and foundational wellness habits that support a lifetime of health.

Digestive Health

Support for IBS, bloating, food sensitivities, dysbiosis, candida overgrowth, and gastrointestinal concerns using targeted nutrition, gut-restoration protocols, and functional testing.

Stress & Whole-Body Wellness

Integrative support for fatigue, adrenal stress, chronic pain, sleep disruption, and the physical toll of a demanding life — botanical adaptogens, lifestyle restructuring, and mind-body strategies.

Therapeutic Modalities

A healing toolkit, tailored to you.

Every care plan draws from a combination of these evidence-informed, non-toxic therapies — always selected and combined based on your unique health picture.

Botanical (Herbal) Medicine — individualized plant-based formulas and preparations
Clinical Nutrition — food as medicine, therapeutic diets, and targeted supplementation
Homeopathy — individualized remedies that support the body's own healing response
Lifestyle Counseling — sleep, stress, movement, and the daily habits that shape your health
Mind-Body Medicine — nervous system support and stress reduction woven into every care plan
Functional Lab Interpretation — standard and specialty bloodwork read through a functional lens
Preventive Care & Health Optimization — proactive wellness planning for long-term vitality

Your First Visit

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Dr. Ballew's first appointments are intentionally unhurried. Plan for 90 minutes via secure video — time for a complete medical intake, review of any existing lab work, and an honest conversation about your diet, daily habits, and health goals.

You'll leave with a clear, customized plan. Subsequent visits are scheduled based on your individual needs. All appointments are conducted via secure video and are available to California residents only.
