Waterleaf Naturopathic Medicine Team

Dr. Leslie Meyers, ND

Dr. Leslie Meyers is a licensed and board-certified Naturopathic Doctor. After completing her doctorate degree from Bastyr University in 2008 and a specialty degree in homeopathy from the New England School of Homeopathy, Dr. Meyers practiced general medicine in Seattle, focusing on women’s health, fertility, gastrointestinal issues, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and insomnia. She performed annual gynecological exams, wrote both conventional and natural medicine prescriptions, and provided true holistic care.

When Dr. Meyers relocated her thriving practice from Seattle to Asheville, North Carolina in 2014, the scope of her practice shifted in accordance with statewide regulations (Naturopathic Doctors are trained as primary care providers and are currently licensed to act as such in 18 states, most of which are in the Northeast and the Western U.S.). She treats patients using herbal medicine, homeopathy, nutrient therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle counseling in private practice at WaterLeaf Naturopathic Medicine. She is passionate about changing lives and changing healthcare by bringing empowerment to her practice members. 

Dr. Emily Colwell, MSSW, ND

Dr. Colwell is our stress and anxiety expert. She is a licensed and board-certified naturopathic doctor and clinical social worker. She blends three decades of expertise in these areas to address emotional health—because, let’s face it, emotional and physical health are more connected than we realize. She graduated with her Master's degree from Columbia University’s School of Social Work in 1994, then earned a doctorate in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle in 2006.

 
Through her own lived experience and clinical expertise in areas such as anxiety, childhood trauma, family addiction, chronic illness, and cancer, Dr. Colwell has seen firsthand how possible it is to find relief and healing, no matter what life throws our way. With her down-to-earth, relatable style, she guides others in transforming their relationships with themselves so they can heal and grow through any challenge they face. Her book, What If You’re Right? Discover How Right You Are in a World That Makes You Feel So Wrong, was released in May 2024. Learn more here.
