naturopathic medicine.

Hello, I'm Dr. Alena Bochi, a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist.

For the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for hundreds of individuals at the Center for Naturopathic Family Medicine and Functional Nutrition in Connecticut, where I blend the best of modern science and natural therapies. My practice is rooted in compassion, clarity, and results—focusing especially on gut health, hormonal balance, chronic illness, fatigue, skin conditions, autoimmune concerns, and emotional well-being.

I completed a four-year doctoral program in Naturopathic Medicine and a two-year master’s program in Acupuncture at the University of Bridgeport, after earning my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Pace University. During my training, I studied under renowned leaders in the field, including Dr. Peter D’Adamo, author of Eat Right 4 Your Type, and Dr. Eugene Zampieron, author of The Natural Medicine Chest and co-host of The Natural Nurse Podcast.

Naturopathic medicine is a personalized, integrative approach to health care that treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Rather than suppressing symptoms, it works to uncover and address the root causes of illness—blending functional medicine, nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, lifestyle counseling, and advanced diagnostics to support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Whether you're managing a complex condition or simply looking to feel your best, I’m here to support you with thoughtful, individualized care grounded in both science and natural wisdom.

Naturopathic medicine is where science meets holistic healing.
It merges advanced diagnostic tools with time-honored healing traditions—from botanical medicine and acupuncture to nutritional therapy and mind-body care. As a form of functional medicine, it doesn’t just treat symptoms—it uncovers and addresses the root causes of illness, empowering the body to restore balance, build resilience, and thrive.
