About

Dr. Maddy Joseph, ND
Naturopathy is a philosophy based on the belief that the body has the innate ability to heal itself. We look at more than symptoms; seeking instead to identify the underlying cause. Taking a holistic approach, we assess the whole person, considering the physical, mental, emotional expression of wellness and disease.
Maddy R. Joseph has a Doctorate of Naturopathy, with highest honors, from Trinity College of Natural Medicine. Her previous education includes; Master in Herbalogy & Board Certified Naturopath
At Natural Health Options my goal is to help my clients reach their personal health and wellness goals. Through education, commitment and focus, I empower clients to make choices for optimal health. In partnership I develop a plan to meet these goals utilizing natural approaches of proper nourishment and natural support, managing stress and emotional well-being, and participating in a model of a wellness lifestyle. The naturopathic model of health begins with doctor as teacher, and provides exceptional techniques and opportunity to improve one’s health and well-being. I now have a private practice in Bethlehem, PA, changing healthcare one patient at a time. And also a Certified Lumia Science Color Therapist, applying colored light in the form of a medical device “Bioptron”, to balance energy in the concerned areas of the body.

What Can I Expect During an Appointment?
During your initial appointment, you will be given ample time to discuss your health history and health concerns. Dr. Maddy will review your current medications and supplements, and clarify your health goals. Together, you will discuss natural methods for restoring health based on your individual needs. If necessary, she will suggest that you see your primary care physician for diagnosis and treatment.*
* Note that naturopaths do not diagnose or treat disease in Pennsylvania. The diagnosis and treatment of disease is the privilege of medical doctors, osteopathic doctors, and other health care practitioners who are licensed in Pennsylvania.
You are an individual and your needs and sensitivities may differ significantly from other individuals. On our first meeting, we will spend between 45 minutes to an hour together. I will be educating and guiding you rather than “treating,” as that word is reserved for licensed medical doctors, which I am not. Depending on your health condition, we may check your heart rate, blood pressure, bodyweight and/or body fat percentage.
In order to understand your specific health condition, weaknesses and requirements, I will need some information about you prior to your full subsequent consultation (second visit). I may perform several additional tests, some of which may include:
Acute Conditions
Colds, flues, ear infections, and other routine illnesses can be helped with naturopathy. Potentially serious problems such as kidney infections, chest pain, pelvic pain, pneumonia, undiagnosed abdominal pain, and others will be referred to your primary care physician for diagnosis and management. Maddy is available to assist stable, unhospitalized patients. Emergency care is NOT available.
