Louella Woodworth

Owner, L.Ac., RNP, DNM

Louella Woodworth

Owner, L.Ac., RNP, DNM

Louella graduated from the ‘A. J. MacMaster School of Nursing’ in 1985 and enjoyed a 30 year career as an RN working in the area of family medicine and palliative care. An interest in complementary health that accentuates conventional medicine began during a time in her life when serious illness struck someone close to her. This interest lead to a ‘Diploma of Acupuncture’ in 2008. With continued studies encompassing several different modalities she met the criteria to become a ‘Registered Naturopath’ in 2009.

In 2012, Louella completed a ‘Cardiovascular Risk Management Certification’ to further enhance assessment of general wellness. This same year circumstance evoked her passion around “Women’s Health and HRT” (hormone restoration therapy). In recent years (commencing 2011) to present day she has pursued continuing education symposiums throughout North America to stay current on hormone restoration therapy.

She opened the doors of ‘WellNurtureMD‘ in 2012 with a dream to make a difference.

In 2015, with an entrepreneurial leave ending Louella decided to resign from her active role as a nurse making ‘WellNurtureMD’ her full-time focus.

She is passionate about providing a quiet, respectful environment where people can settle in and express general concerns while their right to confidentiality is exercised. Her role these past few months has drawn her to the business management side as she creates new strategies to accommodate the businesses exponential growth.

Dr. Natalie Hogan

MD, CCFP, Medical Director

Dr. Natalie Hogan

MD, CCFP, Medical Director

Dr. Hogan is a practicing family physician with special interest in lifestyle and longevity medicine. Dr. Hogan received her Bachelor of Science at Université Sainte-Anne and her Doctor of Medicine degree in 2010. She completed her family medicine residency program at Université de Sherbrooke (Moncton) in 2012. Since then, she has managed a busy family medicine practice in Dieppe with Vitalité Health Network. She is a member in good standing with the New Brunswick College of Family Physicians and the College of Family Physicians of Canada. She is licensed with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick.

Early in her medical practice, she recognized the limitations of the current healthcare system. In a 15-minute visit, she couldn’t even hear her patient’s entire story, let alone get to the root cause of their issue. When her mother passed away at an early age, this led her to explore other approaches to health and restoring wellness.

Dr Hogan believes in a holistic and personalized approach to healthcare, focusing on the whole person and their unique needs. Her passion for personalized medicine led her to focus solely on hormone and metabolic issues. She has completed an extensive amount of training and conferences on hormones such as through the American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine (A4M), LP3 Network (introductory and advanced training), Harvard Medical School course on Testosterone Therapy and Sexual Dysfunction, Worklink Medical as well as training with Dr Sylvie Demers. She has also completed all modules from Institute for Functional Medicine and is a candidate for certification. Dr Hogan has a special interest in nutrition and has been certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine since 2021. She has been a Menopause Society (previously NAMS) certified menopause practitioner since 2020. She is also a member of the Canadian Menopause Society and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH).

In her free time, she can be found working out, listening to various health related podcasts, reading, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
