Meet your retreat host
Dr. Michaela
“There is no better healer than your body, and no better medicine than prayer and fasting.”
Michaela Watts, Naturopathic Physician
Meet Michaela
Hello, I’m Dr. Michaela Watts, naturopathic doctor and founder of Healing Waters Medical Retreat. My journey began at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, where I earned my degree and cultivated a deep understanding of the principles of natural medicine.
Following my graduation, I traveled to Hawaii, where I immersed myself in the study of using raw foods and detoxification methods to treat chronic diseases. This transformative experience solidified my belief in the incredible healing power of whole food nutrition and the body’s innate ability to restore and maintain health when given proper nourishment.
Next, I trained at the renowned True North Health Center in California, specializing in Medically Supervised Water Fasting. This advanced training allowed me to witness firsthand the remarkable benefits of fasting for health, longevity, and disease reversal.
My philosophy centers on the concept of food as medicine. I believe that by embracing whole food nutrition and engaging in therapeutic fasting, we can unlock the body’s natural healing mechanisms. It is my mission to guide and empower you to become your own most potent healer, fostering a deep connection between mind, body, and spirit.
At Healing Waters Medical Retreat, I am committed to helping you achieve optimal health and well-being through personalized, holistic care. Together, we will embark on a journey towards vitality, utilizing the timeless principles of naturopathic medicine to support your body’s inherent wisdom and self-healing capabilities.

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.
“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!!!”
