Dr. Krystal Tellier, ND

Dr. Tellier earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Arizona State University (ASU). During her time at both ASU and U of A, she delved into alternative medicine while working in a research lab studying the potential of botanical constituents to combat cancer. This experience heightened her curiosity for natural remedies, prompting her to pursue a career in naturopathic medicine. She completed her education at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM), focusing on pediatrics and women’s medicine.

While training at SCNM, Dr. Tellier worked with physicians trained in various naturopathic modDr. Krystal Tellieralities. She discovered her passion for treating the entire family but realized she wanted to further her education in pediatrics and women’s medicine. After graduating from SCNM, Dr. Tellier continued her training in the private office of Dr. Farra Swan, ND, CPM, where she specialized in reproductive health, childbirth, and pediatric care.

Dr. Tellier completed a one-month internship at Casa de Nacimiento (CASA), a birth center in El Paso, Texas. At CASA, she immersed herself in midwifery care, which included prenatal visits, labor and delivery, postpartum care, and pediatric care. Dr. Tellier also sat for her midwifery certification.

In 2009, Dr. Tellier began clinical practice in her private family practice. As a primary care provider, she found that her patients were her best teachers. She also shares with her patients experiences she has gleaned from her own family’s journey with Lyme disease and mold sickness. Dr. Tellier began investigating environmentally caused illnesses like mold, heavy metals, toxic chemicals, Epstein-Barr virus, Lyme disease, bartonella, babesia, and other chronic infections when her family's health began to decline after water damage to their home. She found that many of her patients felt chronically ill and had seen specialist after specialist with no known cause for their disease. Dr. Tellier understands that for many of these patients, it is essential to listen to their lifelong experiences and exposures and investigate further with testing which may seem unconventional to conventional medicine.

Dr. Tellier utilizes botanical medicines, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, homeopathy, physical manipulation, acupuncture, IV therapy, hydrotherapy, nutritional supplements, and bio-identical hormones to help address her patients' needs. To evaluate her patients' individual needs, she may order specialty labs, including hormone level assessments, food allergy testing, environmental toxin levels, advanced cholesterol and cardiac disease profiles, and body nutrient stores. Dr. Tellier has extensive training in women’s health, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine dysfunction, detoxification methods, pediatric wellness, and lifestyle counseling.

Dr. Tellier treats the whole person with therapies that are the least invasive and most cost-effective. She looks for the root cause of a patient’s disease and uses therapies that are curative rather than just providing symptomatic relief. She believes that health must address the mind, body, and spirit. She promotes balance and moderation within her patients and hopes that with proper healing, her patients may return to enjoying their lives. What’s more, Dr. Tellier emphasizes the importance of teaching children healthy eating and lifestyle habits to avoid the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and addiction.

Outside of the office, Dr. Tellier enjoys spending time with her husband, two children, and three dogs. She loves the outdoors, and whenever she can, you'll find her hiking, practicing yoga, camping, boating, swimming, or traveling.

Dr. Michelle Barraza Krueger, NMD has a passion for helping people achieve their optimal state of health and wellness. She personally understands how chronic disease can affect relationships, family and finances. Her father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease when she was in high school.
