Naturopathic Physician
I have been practicing naturopathic medicine here in Tucson for several years, and before that I had a full scope practice in Prescott for some 14 years. My main focus now is "chronic" illness, or a state of "dis ease". I work as a "Wellness Coach", helping you to enhance the quality of your life. The difference between a Naturopathic physician and a conventional Physician, is that the Naturopathic physician treats the person, not their symptoms. I look for the underlying cause of your symptoms, and offer you natural relief for what is ailing you. I use a holistic approach implementing alternative therapies, allowing your body to heal.
If you have worked with medical professionals in diverse arenas, then you have likely arrived at your present state after exhausting personal work trying to balance conflicting opinions from changing ideas and doctors. I will begin a treatment plan by reviewing with you the best needs and treatments you have had in the past and add a balanced overview and inspiration to those modalities that you probably still need.
There are some conditions that respond well to conventional therapies. As needed, I will refer you to appropriately skilled professionals. There are situations that require prescribed medications. My scope of practice includes full prescription rights.
I will be happy to share my expertise in group settings and training seminars. Single event speechs and ongoing scheduled lectures may require four months advance notice. I have served on the Arizona Naturopathic Board of Medical Examiners (presently as the Chairman) by appointment and at the pleasure of the Governor for the last 5 years, reducing my availability for retreats and extended events. Please feel confident in approaching me about any special group events or situations.
Life is about service, especially to those in need. Your health is enhanced by helping others, just like mine is. Dance like no-one is watching.

The care the Dr. Chelson gave to me was like no other experience that I have ever had with a medical professional. She looks to solve the problems that are negatively effecting your life instead of treating the problem momentarily with the latest drug. I have suffered from chronic urinary tract infections for the last 15 years. Since meeting with Dr. Chelson I have not had any occurrences. I feel like a new person! I would highly recommend Dr. Chelson to anyone who is looking for a lifelong solution for good health.

Once again, Dr. Chelson took care of my health problems and 'cured' me! I began having constant heart palpitations and my lab reports said my cholesterol was very high. I went to my medical doctor and she told me I would need to start on both a beta blocker for the heart palpitations and a statin drug for my high cholesterol. I didn’t want to deal with the negative side effects of either drug so I called Dr. Chelson looking for alternatives. After analyzing both my symptoms and lab work she started me on a regimen of medication and supplements, with no side effects. Within a week, the palpitations started to subside and after two weeks they totally stopped. It has been over a month and a half and still no problems. What a relief! I will have my labs done again in a few weeks to check my cholesterol and the effectiveness of treatment. I have no doubt that things will be looking up! Thank you Dr. Chelson!
