Biography

Dr. Vassighi has been teaching at the graduate level as both adjunct and full-time faculty at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine from 2012-2015 and running a successful private practice in Tempe, AZ.

Her clinical interests include utilizing homeopathy as the primary treatment for acute and chronic conditions. Dr. Vassighi is one of a few naturopaths in the nation who has completed a specialized residency focused on homeopathic training, making her part of an elite group of highly skilled homeopaths. She treats various conditions but is particularly interested in utilizing homeopathy along with nutritional and lifestyle adjustments to treat digestive disorders, namely GERD, IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, and Ulcerative Colitis.  

Dr. Vassighi believes combining natural medicine and a patient-centered approach is integral to true healing. In using natural therapies designed to stimulate the body's own innate ability to heal, we can gently guide the body to recovery from acute and chronic diseases as well as diminish the predisposition for future illness.
