Dr. Nicole Kearney is a Naturopathic Doctor licensed in the state of Vermont.

She went on to obtain her Doctorate in Natural Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in 2016. Following medical school, Dr. Kearney was awarded a 2-year residency in naturopathic primary care at Mountain View Natural Medicine in South Burlington, Vermont. She continued working at the clinic full-time following her residency, managing a wide variety of health conditions for both pediatric and adult patients. In 2020, she started her own practice.
Dr. Kearney takes a holistic approach to look at the whole person and identify the root cause of their symptoms. Her goal is to use the least invasive but most effective treatments to help her patients achieve wellness. She has a passion for treating hormonal imbalance and infertility and has completed several specialized trainings and ultimately, a year long integrative fertility mentorship with Dr. Jaclyn Chasse, one of the top experts in the field. She also excels at treatment of mental health and gastrointestinal concerns. Dr. Kearney has a unique vantage point of the bridge between naturopathic and conventional approaches to mental health due to her extensive experience practicing in a primary care setting, enabling her to balance holistic and root cause approaches alongside a patient’s current prescriptions if desired. When she’s not practicing medicine, Dr. Kearney enjoys live music, hiking, camping, yoga and spending time with family, friends, her husband and son. https://www.drnicolekearney.com/ |
Meredith Kinsel-Ziter, NTP, is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and a Lead Instructor for the Nutritional Therapy Association.

She began her nutrition practice in the scenic Burlington, Vermont area in 2013. It quickly evolved to focus on chronic conditions, drawing from a passion ignited by her own long history of health struggles. She went on become Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition and to further train in the fields of nutrigenomics {the study of how our genetics affect our nutrition needs} & methylation therapies, herbalism, and natural movement practices.
