I’m Dr. Rachel Low (she/her), and this is what Commune means to me. This idea of communing is at the core of how I approach health and healing as a naturopathic doctor. Naturopathic medicine is more than just a way to treat disease, but a philosophy that permeates all aspects of life.

My undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina Asheville were largely centered on Biochemistry, Psychology, and Anthropology – subjects which continue to inform my understanding of the body and mind in relation to healing. I received my doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR, where I was trained as a primary care physician. After completing a comprehensive, year long mentorship and training in integrative fertility with Dr. Jaclyn Chasse, I shifted my practice away from primary care, and am now focused primarily on providing powerful, holistic, trauma-informed and inclusive fertility support to folks in and around NW Connecticut, as well as online.

My practice is grounded firmly in the naturopathic principles of addressing the root cause of disease and working to support the natural healing process. I strongly emphasize establishing good foundational health with diet and lifestyle, while using plant and energy medicines to stimulate the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems and gently direct the body towards homeostasis. As an integrative provider, I blend evidence-based medicine with traditional and energetic practices. Modalities that I frequently use include herbal medicine, homeopathy, biotherapeutic drainage, clinical nutrition, flower essences, and hydrotherapy.
