Dr Tamara Potselueva is a Board certified Naturopathic Physician and Registered Nurse licensed in the State of Connecticut. Naturopathic Physicians use methods of healing that employ various natural means to empower an individual to achieve the highest level of health possible by supporting the body's own healing processes. The relationship between the physician and patient evolves with a patient-empowerment approach. Illness may provide opportunities for positive change and new balance in life towards its meaning and purpose.
