She integrates both a conventional background with homeopathic, naturopathic, herbal, and dietary treatments.

The Family Wellness Centre of Connecticut was created by Drs. Frank Musante and Kendra Becker, who envisioned a setting that would bring together chiropractic, holistic and conventional medicine. At the Centre, disciplines of chiropractic and integrative medicine are combined, to elicit the best possible therapeutic outcomes for their patients. Their mission is to serve families, helping them to maximize their current health status and to keep them that way for a lifetime.

The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing process. Naturopathic physicians manage and seek to prevent acute and chronic illnesses to restore and establish optimal health.
