I found my way to Providence Wholistic Healthcare a few years ago after too many years of my PCP…read moretelling me I needed to be on one pharmaceutical or another for some malady I was not experiencing. The final straw was when I could not keep any food in - no matter what I ate, it came right back up. After months of visits they finally did an abdominal ultrasound and found I had gallstones. When I asked how to get rid of them they told me 'we can prescribe pills, but we don't treat it: we wait for it to get bad and do surgery'. What!? You can treat it, but you'd rather send me to a surgeon. OK. I'm out. And my search for a real HEALTHcare provider began. That is how I found Providence Wholistic. The state of RI does not accredit Naturopathic Physicians (like other states do) even though they have the same scientific education as an MD plus they study holistic therapy focusing on keeping you well. Therefore, it's out of pocket, and I still need a PCP to order lab tests and so on. (I found a new one of those too) The naturopathic association is working on getting RI up to speed. In the mean time, I am very, very happy to have found Dr. Sheila Frodermann. First up was pesky symptoms that every ageing woman experiences. The PCP had advised me my only option was to 'suffer' (the bedside manner is weak with that one) - Dr. Sheila gave me actual things I could do to reduce and resolve symptoms including introducing me to herbal supplements. No more pesky symptoms. OMG! Why did I wait? Next up, I'm always deficient in Vit D. Well, Vit D is a fat soluble vitamin, if your gallbladder is not working on digesting fat, you are not getting Vit D. So, we add a supplement that helps my gallbladder do what it is supposed to, and voila, Vit D is no longer a problem. My brittle bones thank you. And on, and on and on. All the things I have been dealing with for YEARS, Dr. Frodermann got to the root of at my very first office visit. Holy moley and thank you Universe for finally getting me to someone who actually knows how to keep me healthy! It's a team effort. She has the knowledge, makes recommendations, instructs, and I do the work. I'm all good with being the creator of my own healthy life. Wholistic medicine takes the entire person into account when prescribing a course of treatment. It's not a one pill cures all, kind of place. You may have to change your diet (I did and she explained why), exercise more (stupid triglycerides), take supplements and/or add some kind of body work into your routine (I love a good massage). All of it is worth the effort if you are truly interested in getting HEATLTHY. I am grateful to have found a health advocate. A group of professionals who work with their patients to figure out what it is that each individual body needs to function at it's healthiest. Every body is unique. What works for you may not work for me. You are treated as an individual here. They are supportive and my visits to their office are always a pleasure. Check out their website for more information about naturopathic medicine providencewholistic.com , their providers and offerings. It's too bad insurance doesn't cover it (yet) but for me, feeling good is priceless.

For example, I had historically been low in vitamin D. My 'traditional' MD/ PCP kept telling me to 'take more vitamin D' like I was forgetting to do so. I was not forgetting, and was taking so much vitamin D on a daily basis, one of my family members mentioned you can actually overdose on vitamin D. This comment gave me pause to think about exactly how well, or unwell, my healthcare really was and began my search for a new health care provider. On my very first consultation with Dr. Frodermann, she knew exactly why I was always low on vitamin D, added a natural supplement to assist with absorption to my daily vitamin routine, and I have never been low on vitamin D since! All those years of 'take more!' was never going to fix the issue. I should have come to Dr. Frodermann sooner. This is just one example of how Dr. Frodermann has changed my health, and therefore my life. It is a health journey and she is an advocate helping to figure out what is needed to stay in good health as we age. I'm definitely not one to 'pop a pill' for what ails me. I'd much rather adjust my diet, add an exercise, take Epsom salt baths, make bone broth or use a caster oil pack for example if that is what it takes to feel good. I had searched the internet for years looking for ways to feel better. It's so much easier to meet with Dr. Frodermann, having the benefit of her wisdom and experience to point you in the right direction. The office offers high quality supplements and the prices are very competitive. At present all consultations are via tele-med (Skype for example) in order to keep everyone safe and supplement pick up is no-contact. Office hours are limited, and by appointment only. Give them a call, or send them an email. The staff are very friendly and helpful. In the state of RI, naturopaths are not covered by insurance although they are licensed by the state and the RI association of Naturopathic physicians is trying to arrange insurance coverage (You can check out https://www.rianp.org/ to find out how that process is going). In the mean time, if you wish to see a naturopath in RI, it is out of pocket. If you are not getting results from your PCP, are tired of always being tired, or just not feeling like anything you have tried is working, maybe it's time you add a naturopath to your health care family. I did and I will never look back!

Jake used a combination of techniques on me utilizing various sports stretches, hands on deep tissue massage, used cupping in which I can say i was unaccustomed to, and even got in using a massage gun. I can say I was definitely in less pain and felt much better after. Jake was very professional and evaluated my pain level throughout my massage and after discussed follow up and aftercare. Highly recommend Jake and will be a return customer my next trip to Providence.
