DR. HOLSTON SINGH

You may have noticed the new name around town in various listings as a result of Dr. Holston's marriage on July 8th. Thank you for the plethora of warm wishes and congratulations you have given since this event. The name change will be official soon, and the office is updating paperwork, handouts, etc. as quickly as possible. As most of you already know, as a result of her husband's new job in Louisiana, Dr. Holston Singh will be taking a multiple year leave from her Cleveland practice. During this time she will do some much needed professional writing on natural medicine, in conjunction with mentoring Dr. Liz Cavin, who will join Options Naturopathic Clinic in September in her place.

DR. LIZ CAVIN

See BIO below! Dr. Cavin has decided to move to Ohio to develop her interest in the European homeopathic method Dr. Holston Singh uses. While Dr. Cavin is here, Dr. Holston Singh will work with her on a case-by-case basis, facilitating the ongoing care of existing patients, as well as training Dr. Cavin in the specifics of Dr. Gerard Gueniot's methods, the master of the French pluralist method of homeopathy and natural medicine Dr. Holston Singh intends to elucidate in her writing. About Dr. Liz Cavin Dr. Liz Cavin comes to Options Naturopathic Clinic with a diverse background in natural health care. Naturopathic medicine, homeopathy, Ayurveda and massage therapy contribute to her growing experience in working with patients from an holistic perspective, all of which she has used to aid the healing process with great success. During her graduate education at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM), Dr. Cavin also studied "Biotherapeutic Drainage", or what may be more familiar as the Unda numbers and the European method of homeopathy Dr. Holston Singh uses with her patients. Dr. Cavin decided to join Dr. Holston Singh's practice to gain more experience in this regard. Prior to her naturopathic medical training, Dr. Cavin practiced as a licensed massage therapist for ten years after studying massage at the Scherer Institute of Natural Healing in Santa Fe, New Mexico. While living in New Mexico, Dr. Cavin studied botanical medicine with Tieraona LowDog, MD. Botanical medicine is one of her passions, and being able to identify medicinal plants while hiking provides immense satisfaction. Ayurvedic medicine, the traditional medicine of India is another interest of Dr. Cavin's. She completed a three hundred hour course at the Ayurvedic Institute and worked there for several years after completing her course work. Dr. Cavin is moving to Cleveland from Portland, Oregon and is excited to work with Dr. Holston Singh. Dr. Cavin is looking forward to living where it snows, riding her bike in the Cleveland area and learning about the birds and medicinal plants of the region.
