Dr. Castleman’s goal is to empower women with evidence-based knowledge to help them thrive for as long as possible, in the best health possible. By offering holistic, comprehensive care, she ensures that no aspect of your health is overlooked. In addition to her naturopathic medicine degree, Dr. Castleman obtained her MSCP designation from The Menopause Society (formerly known as The North American Menopause Society) in 2022.
