Bringing Naturopathic Care to Everyone

Collaborative Natural Health Partners is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Bastyr University, one of the most prestigious naturopathic medical institutions in the United States.

From January 12th through June 2026, CNHP will host Connecticut’s only Community Teaching Clinic for Integrative Medicine, dedicated to making natural healthcare more accessible, affordable, and community-centered.

Here, both new and existing patients can receive care from a fully licensed naturopathic or osteopathic physician working collaboratively with 4th-year Bastyr medical students.

Exceptional Care. Expanded Access.

This program allows us to deliver evidence-based, patient-centered care while helping train the next generation of naturopathic doctors.

What’s included:

  • Visits with a physician and student clinician together
  • Significantly discounted appointment fees
  • Medicaid participation
  • A strong focus on lifestyle medicine, prevention, and whole-person health

We believe that your health shouldn’t depend on your finances. Our Community Clinic is designed to ensure that everyone has access to the supportive, integrative care they deserve.

Meet Our Academic Team

Six of our naturopathic physicians have been appointed Adjunct Faculty with Bastyr University, providing clinical education right here in Connecticut.

We are also welcoming our first student clinicians — Danielle and Jacqueline — who will join our medical team as they complete their final year of naturopathic medical training.

Jacqueline Reilly

Jackie Reilly is a retired designer turned aspiring naturopathic physician, dedicated to serving those impacted by gender-based violence. Her early career in user experience design and her long-standing involvement in anti-sexual assault advocacy deeply shaped her belief that healing must be accessible, trauma-informed, and grounded in each person’s lived experience. Those values ultimately led her to pursue naturopathic medicine.

Now in her fourth and final year at Bastyr University, Jackie is completing her training to become a Naturopathic Doctor focused on reproductive health, autoimmune disease, and complex, chronic illness. Instead of designing software, she now designs wellness — approaching each case with an eye for patterns, context, and the human story behind the symptoms.

At Bastyr, Jackie integrates evidence-informed nutraceuticals, nutrition, pelvic floor therapy, and botanical medicine into her care. She is also pursuing advanced training toward her functional medicine certification, deepening her expertise in the interactions between hormones, immunity, and the nervous system. 

Outside of her clinical training, Jackie remains active in anti–sexual assault advocacy, speaking at events throughout New England. And in her spare time, you’ll find her skiing in Vermont in the winter, discovering new coffee shops, or spending time with her husband and family in Cape Cod.

Danielle Futerman

Danielle Futerman is an aspiring naturopathic doctor in her fourth year of naturopathic medical school at Bastyr University San Diego. She is dedicated to helping patients restore balance and vitality through individualized, root-cause medicine. Her clinical interests include women’s health, mind-body medicine, dermatology, fertility, and gastrointestinal health.

She works to restore the foundations of health while supporting the body’s natural self-regulating processes. Danielle is committed to listening deeply, honoring each patient’s story, and understanding the whole person to support meaningful and lasting healing. Her care also includes NeuroEmotional Technique and Craniosacral Therapy to address emotional contributors and nervous system patterns that may be affecting overall wellness.

Danielle holds a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry and a Certificate in Integrative Healthcare from the University of Vermont. Originally from New York, she serves as the student representative for the New York Association of Naturopathic Physicians (NYANP), where she supports licensure advocacy, fundraising, and student integration within the profession across the state. In her free time, she enjoys cooking nutritious meals at home, practicing yoga, and spending time in nature.

This collaboration represents a major step forward for integrative healthcare in Connecticut — and we’re excited to lead the way.

You may be seen jointly by senior students and specialized collaborative naturopathic physicians. We will refer to higher-level care when appropriate.

Yes. We can either use your insurance or offer cash discounted rates.

Naturopathic physicians and the student clinicians do not prescribe medications. We will coordinate care with other community clinics if we feel medication is necessary.

Yes. Our main office charges a no-show fee for appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice. Because Medicaid does not allow no-show fees, the Community Clinic will not charge patients for missed appointments.

However, we reserve each appointment specifically for you and do not double-book. If you miss appointments without providing adequate notice, we may no longer be able to schedule you in the teaching clinic. This ensures fairness to other patients and protects our students’ learning experience.

The Community Clinic operates from January through June 2026 as part of our pilot program. At the end of this period, the teaching clinic will temporarily close while we evaluate scheduling and plan for future student clinics.

Because there may be a gap before the next teaching clinic cycle begins, patients will not automatically transition into Collaborative’s main clinic. Instead, we will provide referrals to local primary care, community resources, and integrative providers to ensure continuity of care.

Our goal is to offer additional teaching clinic sessions in the future, but timing will depend on faculty availability, student rotations, and program structure.
