Marisa Catapano

ND, FABNO Dr. Marisa Catapano is a board-certified, licensed Naturopathic Doctor specializing in holistic healing, emotional wellbeing and integrative cancer care. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Boston University and a Naturopathic Doctorate Degree from the University of Bridgeport.



Dr. Catapano fell in love with Naturopathic medicine as a teenager when she witnessed the profound impacts it had on her mother as she battled stage IV breast cancer. The comprehensive support her mother received from her ND boosted her physical and mental vitality to levels she had not even experienced prior to the diagnosis. Her mother also brought her to her very own initial appointment with an ND who quickly cured the excruciating migraines she had suffered with for most of her life. A deep reverence for the healing power of nature, and of the body as an inextricable part of nature, had been instilled within her.



To honor her mother and give hope to the many others like her, Dr. Catapano completed a 2-year oncology-focused residency in Portsmouth, NH in 2023 and became certified as a Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology in 2025.



The more patients that Dr. Catapano worked with, the more she realized that the root cause of dis-ease runs much deeper than the physical or even the mental level. To learn what she believed would be the missing link in her practice of holistic medicine, she embarked on a training in Neo Emotional Release - a somatic healing modality that allows suppressed emotions that are contributing to dis-ease to finally be expressed and transformed. While she ventured on this path to learn how to help others reconnect with themselves, she wound up rediscovering herself along the way. This emotional alchemy has become the frequency at which she lives her life, as well as the cornerstone of her medical practice.



Dr. Catapano believes that wellness is far more than the absence of disease. It is a feeling of vitality, presence, clarity, connectedness, playfulness and creativity. It is the freedom and confidence to be all that one desires. It is the ability to simply enjoy life. With allies like nutrition, botanical and fungi medicines, lifestyle modifications, mindfulness practices and Neo Emotional Release, Dr. Catapano is committed to providing her patients high quality, individualized health care that harnesses the body’s innate healing intelligence, addresses the root causes of disease and fosters long lasting wellness.
