Jody Noé, Naturopathic Doctor
Dr. Jody E. Noé is the owner and founder of Natural Family Health & Integrative Medicine, a private practice in Westerly, R.I., where she specializes in family health care, integrative oncology, and the treatment of HIV/Aids and chronic disease.
A graduate of Bastyr University, Dr. Noé has served as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine, Quinnipiac University, Connecticut College of Naturopathic Physicians, Bastyr University, the New England Women’s Herbal Conference, Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NIAOM), and several community colleges and private organizations. She is a founding member of the Botanical Medicine Academy, president emeritus of both the Oklahoma and Vermont Associations of Naturopathic Physicians, and a former senior staff member at Southwestern Memorial Hospital, Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) in Tulsa, Okla. Currently, Dr. Noé is a senior lecturer at UBCNM, where she teaches oncology, gynecology, endocrinology and botanical medicine; she also supervises students in the naturopathic clinic, where she sees numerous oncology patients. When not practicing or teaching, Dr. Noé lectures nationally on naturopathic medicine and phytotherapy.
Dr. Noé practices traditional Cherokee medicine, a method that encompasses mind, body and spirit and requires patients to participate in their own healing processes. The Cherokee Way honors not only the medicine that is used to affect the physical being, but also the Spirit that is in each and every living thing and affects us all concurrently. In 1987, Dr. Noé was accepted as an apprentice by Crosslin F. Smith, high medicine priest of the Keetoowah, the western band of Cherokees in Tahlequah, Okla.
When developing a treatment plan, Dr. Noé assesses all symptoms and causes of a condition – not only the physical aspects, but the spiritual, emotional and psychological facets as well. Her practice is based on a holistic approach that incorporates a patient’s thoughts, feelings, lifestyle, family history, environmental stresses and nutritional status. Using naturopathic medicine, Dr. Noe teaches patients how to restore and maintain their own health through living in harmony with themselves and their environment.
