Hi! I’m Dr. Aviva Wertkin, naturopathic doctor and holistic healing expert in Colorado
Why I became a Naturopathic Doctor
From a very young age I developed health issues & they only worsened over time. I went to several specialists and I was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Endometriosis, Daily Persistent Migraines, Hypothyroidism, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I was told that none of these diseases were curable but could be managed with medications. Not only did the prescriptions not help me, they were causing new problems and over time I felt worse and worse. I ended up stopping the medications and feeling hopeless about my health. After seeing a chiropractor for joint pain following a car accident, my eyes were opened to the world of alternative medicine. This began my journey of exploration to find answers for myself and to become the kind of doctor I’d been looking for.
One day, I met a very unique Naturopathic doctor. This doctor wasn’t just chasing symptoms, he was identifying and treating the Causes. Under his guidance, I was able to reverse each one of my diagnoses. While that was extraordinary all on its own, this same doctor also became my supervising physician during my residency. I ultimately spent 7 years training with him, learning how to help others reverse their conditions, which is one of the greatest joys in my life.

Personal Story
Everything in my life changed when I finally found the right healer to work with. I began to experience feeling better in ways I had only dreamed of. I enjoyed years of feeling physically amazing and then slowly new conditions started to arise. While I was doing everything I thought was right for my body, I hadn't yet realized how disconnected I was from myself and our Creator. And I hadn't yet learned how significant this was for sustaining optimal health. I went on to experience severe mold toxicity, lyme disease, SIBO, parasites, traumatic brain injuries and total burn out.
I am so grateful for these challenging experiences because of everything I learned from them. The physician in me loved figuring out all of the natural physical treatments to address each of these concerns. The healer in me loved figuring out all of the emotional, energetic and spiritual components that were impacting my physiology. Not only identifying them but what to do about them! This combination of addressing our needs on the physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual level is the epitome of holistic healing that I love to offer to others. Its an invitation to transform your health & your life.
A Different Approach to Restoring Health
Dr. Aviva Wertkin’s approach to restoring health focuses on identifying the underlying causes of disease. Then she can utilize one or more natural therapies, depending on what each individual person needs. Practicing effective medicine is not a One-Size-Fits-All Approach. The best results come from understanding exactly what Your body needs.
