Personal Biography
Erin F. Morrissey, N.D. offers affordable naturopathic health care for the whole family. She began her career in holistic medicine here at the Francis Holistic Medical Center, P.C. after graduating from Stonehill College in 1996. She worked as an allergy specialist before attending the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1998 from which she earned her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine degree in 2002. Naturopathic Medicine is used to address a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Dr. Morrissey educates on gentle and safe treatments designed to stimulate the healing process. She specializes in education on biotherapeutic drainage, a form of homeopathy designed to restore health by cleansing the body. She is also trained in classical homeopathy, clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, stress reduction, and lifestyle counseling.
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
As its name suggests, Naturopathic Medicine uses natural therapies to restore health. It was introduced to America in the early 20th century and is practiced by Naturopathic Doctors (N.D.s) who graduate from four-year post-graduate medical colleges. There are four naturopathic medical schools in the United States, which train prospective practitioners. Naturopathic Medicine uses a holistic approach to looking at your health considering all aspects - mental, physical, and emotional - in developing a plan to optimize your health. Consequently, Naturopathic Medicine is a more patient-focused type of health care allowing the patient to be involved in the healing process.
What is biotherapeutic drainage?
Biotherapeutic drainage is the process of detoxifying the body using specific homeopathic remedies to eliminate everyday toxins that accumulate in the body. Drainage compounds can be used to remove blockages that prevent the body from healing itself. They are non-suppressive homepathic formulas derived from both plant and mineral sources. These formulas are "deep acting" and "able to act on a cellular level." This unique ability allows for a slower, more gentle, detoxification process.
What to expect during your first Naturopathic consult:
Your first consult should last about an hour. Dr. Morrissey will take an extensive history; physical examination or laboratory tests may also be used. It is recommended that you bring any supplements that you are taking or any medical records you have on hand that may be of help. After collecting your information, Dr. Morrissey will discuss ways to restore your health.
