The Natural Nurse and Dr. Z - 08.09.22

Dr. Tia Trivisonno is a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist. Dr. Tia's passion for naturopathic medicine was born out of love while processing grief from the loss of  her father.  He suffered from complications associated with kidney disease and high blood pressure, and the surgeries and medications he was prescribed failed to deliver a solution.  Dr. Tia remembers when her mother wished someone could intervene who knew how to TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON.  It was at that very moment that Dr Tia became dedicated to the pursuit of better health education for individuals and their families. She is the President of the New York Association of Naturopathic Physicians (NYANP) and is deeply committed to a paradigm shift to more cooperative system of healthcare. She guides patients in two integrative clinical settings on Long Island, New York, Transformational Healing Solutions and Rejuvenation Health.
