Dr. Yolanda Rodriguez was born and raised in the Arizona desert. As a Queen Creek native, she learned from an early age how medicinal plants from the desert are used and when they are the most effective. She is able to pull from her rich heritage techniques of healing therapies passed down through many generations. She combines this with modern scientific medical training to provide rich and unique healing therapies designed for each individual.

Her life experiences traveling with the Marine Corps and as a Desert Storm veteran has given her a broad range of life experience to help her understand people coming from different walks of life. As a mother of two and a Girl Scout Leader for 6 years, she understands the need to find the delicate balance between home, career, family and self. She uses an eclectic blend of therapies that includes but is not limited to Custom Herbal Formulations, Acupuncture, Diet and Nutrition, Homeopathy, Therapeutic Injections such as Prolotherapy, Trigger Point Injections, Mesotherapy, Sclerotherapy, Chelation Therapy as well as non-invasive healing techniques such as Energetic and Vibrational Medicine.

Education

After obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Arizona State University, Dr. Rodriguez went on to obtain her medical degree at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. She continued her education while working within a pain management facility to sharpen her skills in working with people with chronic back and neck pain, headaches, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia syndrome. Dr. Rodriguez holds an Associates of Applied Science in Sign Language Interpreting. Knowing the greatest education is the journey to knowing yourself, she constantly challenges herself to learn more about herself and the ways of the world.

Teacher/Healer

Dr. Rodriguez has spent countless hours learning Energetic and Vibrational medicine including continuing education in homeopathy, and with the Bach Flower Institute. She has been under the tutelage of a Shaman for the past 12 years learning healing techniques that are not found in the typical medical setting. As a guardian of the desert, Dr. Rodriguez studies the medicinal plants of the Southwest with some of the best herbalists in the area, sharing her knowledge with others who have the same affinity. Her uncanny ability to understand her patients on a heart to heart level, combined with her scientific training is the key to her success.
