Well hello!

I'm Dr. Christa Lamothe and I can't wait to share with you what I have been fortunate to observe and learn through seeing patients over the past eighteen years in my private practice and for over thirty years in the medical and health industry. With regards to skin conditions, I've seen it all. From simple to complex, from common to obscure. Bottom line, skin conditions can be a challenge for folks to manage. I have found that what is prevalent in the latest medical research and books (both "conventional" and "alternative") is not necessarily consistent with what many people experience! I'd like to provide you with not only medical background and facts concerning your skin and how it relates to your general health, but also what I have personally seen to be clinically relevant. Working with thousands of patients in my practice, Naturopathic Dermatology, has given me unique insight into health patterns. Now, with the platform of Naturopathic Dermatology Online Programs, I can reach more people so that they may benefit from my experience. Join me on your path to healthy skin!

Healthy skin, healthy lifestyle, healthy you!
