Aimée Gould Shunney, Licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND), was born and raised on the East Coast. She was graduated cum laude from Vanderbilt University with a BA in psychology and minors in theatre and women's studies. After completing her post-graduate pre-med course work, Dr. Shunney attended the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. She received her Naturopathic Medical Degree in 2001. Dr. Shunney specializes in Women's Health and Family Medicine, but consults men and women with many health issues. She enjoys treating children, teens and pregnant women.

Dr. Shunney blends conventional medical diagnosis and treatment with the use of natural therapeutics, including dietary and lifestyle counseling, nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and bio-identical hormones. She also has extensive training in very small but growing group of providers in the Arvigo Techniques (TM) of Maya Abdominal Massage. This gentle yet powerful and effective technique is an exceptional treatment modality for many woman's health, digestive and urinary tract issues.

Before relocating to California in January 2006, Dr. Shunney was in private practice in Brooklyn, NY and Greenwich, CT. In addition, she implemented and directed the Health Education and Wellness Program at Long Island College Hospital, also in Brooklyn, that served over 3000 people during her time there.

A natural and dynamic teacher, Dr. Shunney has lectured extensively to laypeople, medical students and physicians, as well as appearing regularly on local radio and television. She is a featured lecturer, writer and in-store guest for New Leaf Community Markets in Santa Cruz.

Dr. Shunney is currently pursuing postgraduate studies in Women's Health with Dr. Hudson at the Institute for Women's Health and Integrative Medicine in Portland, Oregon.

A new mom, Aimée enjoys spending her time with her delicious son (and his father, too). Despite all odds, she manages to maintain a modest dedication to her yoga practice. She hopes to someday get back to her other passions - dance, theatre and sleep.
