“True healing begins when we honor the body’s wisdom, nourish it with nature’s gifts, and trust in its ability to restore balance from within.”
Michaela Watts, Naturopathic Physician
Meet Michaela
Dr. Michaela Watts, a naturopathic doctor and founder of Healing Waters Medical Retreat, is passionate about the power of natural medicine and holistic healing. Her journey began with earning her degree from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, where she developed a profound understanding of the principles of nature cure and the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
Following graduation, Dr. Watts traveled to Hawaii to explore the therapeutic use of raw foods and detoxification for chronic disease management. This transformative experience deepened her belief in the healing potential of whole food nutrition. She later trained at the renowned True North Health Center in California, specializing in Medically Supervised Water Fasting. Here, she witnessed the remarkable benefits of fasting for longevity, health restoration, and disease reversal.
Dr. Watts’ approach centers on empowering individuals to harness their own natural healing capacity through food as medicine, therapeutic fasting, and holistic care. At Healing Waters Medical Retreat, her mission is to guide clients toward vibrant health and well-being, reconnecting mind, body, and spirit through the principles of naturopathic medicine.

Services
naturopathic consultation
During the initial consultation, Dr. Michaela will do a deep dive into your current health concerns, review your health history, perform physical exams, order labs, and strategize next steps. Follow-up visits are an opportunity to review test results, ask questions, and fine tune the treatment plan.
Functional Testing
There is only so much information you can get from routine blood panels. When previous treatments have failed or a condition is not improving, functional testing can provide more information to help direct treatment. Don’t guess – Test!
IV Therapy
Intravenous (IV) therapy applies nutrients directly to the blood stream, bypassing digestion and liver metabolism. IV formulations are designed to enhance your overall health and well-being. Benefits range from improved sleep, immune support, weight loss, stress support, anti-aging, and can be customized for each individual.
Constitutional Hydrotherapy
Constitutional hydrotherapy combines alternating hot and cold towels to the front and back of the torso with physiotherapy devices in order to directly effect various organs or tissue states as well as systemically treat pathways of digestion and detoxification.
Detoxification and Fasting Programs
Experience the profound healing potential of detoxification and fasting. These programs are designed to support your body’s natural ability to eliminate toxins, restore balance, and optimize vitality. By combining whole food nutrition, therapeutic fasting, and individualized guidance, these approaches allow your body to reset, rejuvenate, and unlock its innate healing capabilities. Whether you’re seeking improved energy, better digestion, or enhanced overall health, these tailored programs empower you to achieve lasting transformation.
“I met MJ at a retreat she co-facilitated. Michaela is a delight! She has a wealth of knowledge beyond her years. I thoroughly enjoyed her calming presence as well as her gentle and creative approach. I highly recommend Dr. MJ to anyone wishing to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally.”
“MJ is a wonder. After less than a year of working together, I have completely changed my diet, stopped taking several daily medications, finally out of chronic pain and able to do all my favorite activities, and the icing on the cake…I lost 25 lbs. She helped me gain confidence and knowledge to take my wellness journey to the next level. MJ is hugely generous with her kindness, energy, and wisdom. She radiates healing energy, making her patients feel seen and held every step of the way. Even with some of the less comfortable treatments, I always felt safe and knew I would come out feeling stronger. She continues to be my trusted guide, and I’m so grateful I found her. ”
“Michaela techniques are unique, holistic, and nothing short of miraculous. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I can’t believe how amazing my body and mind feels. Activity is imperative to my well-being, both my physical and mental state have improved beyond words. Thank you for everything!!!”
