Dr. Barrett

All services with Dr. Barrett are conducted virtually. 
I love connecting the dots for patients. Together we work through their concerns and dig in to the root cause. I love the lightbulbs that go off and the empowerment they have knowing they are taking charge of their health.

I believe that effective healthcare is a collaborative partnership between the patient and the provider. I want to break down the hierarchy that often exists in healthcare systems. I strive to build strong relations with my patients and inspire them to make lasting changes in their health. My goal is to dig into the root cause of your conditions and help initiate whole body healing. I am an avid student of holistic healthcare and I constantly bring new information into my practice. No two people are the same, and I create personalized treatment plans that reflect my patients unique health care needs. My naturopathic practice focuses on autoimmune disease, chronic ailments, hormone imbalance, and digestive concerns.  
 
I am also passionate about creating a sustainable, productive and collaborative healthcare model. I co-founded Wellness Minneapolis to create a space for my patients and other holistic care practitioners to thrive. Together we can bring holistic healthcare to the forefront of medicine.

In the Fall of 2022 I added Dr. Aidanne MacDonald-Milewski to my team. For some time I have been searching for a naturopathic doctor to join my practice. I am pleased to announce that I have found the right fit with Dr. Aidanne. She shares my passion for naturopathic medicine, she's dedicated, organized, and is a pleasure to work with. 

Dr. Aidanne and I will be working closely on patient cases to ensure that you receive consistent quality care. 

Dr. Barrett has been in practice since 2012.

Testimonials

All the gratitude: Dr. Barrett has helped me profoundly with some tough health issues: rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and most recently heart arrhythmia. She helps me feel much better physically, and much more hopeful spiritually, than any other healthcare professional I've worked with. I have nothing but gratitude for her and for Wellness Minneapolis. - Gretchen
I liked everything about the process- from the initial intake call to the actual appointment. I felt cared for and listened to. The questions asked on the intake form set us up to have a really productive conversation. 1.5 hours flew right by. -

I appreciate Dr. Barrett's journeying with me through complex issues, doing research to find new ways to address my concerns, and approaching them through means that encourage and support my body's natural ability to heal. She listens well and I feel safe being myself with her, even when that doesn't feel very good. - Linda W.
Dr. Barrett was so present with me through our initial session. She listened carefully and closely to both what I was expressing verbally and what my body was saying as well. She seemed to really care and wasn't afraid to be honest with her thoughts. I felt heard and not judged. I am excited to begin my journey with Wellness Minneapolis! - Jaclyn
Dr Barrett really listens. Her treatment recommendations are based in science not hype or gimmicks. The background knowledge she gives helps me have more productive discussions with my MD. She is a great collaborator to help me manage my chronic illness. -  Wendy B.
In 12 HOURS Dr. Barrett's diet suggestion resolved a sinus condition that had plagued me for years! I had tried multiple things with little, to temporary relief. I've been problem free for 6 months! - Teresa
You need Dr. Barrett on your team. I am so glad to have found her and I'm nothing short of impressed. Her knowledge, patience and warmth are truly rare in this day and age. She took the time to evaluate my condition and history, and to creatively address key areas that have me on the path to wellness. If you're tired of seeing doctors who treat only symptoms and not causes, you've come to the right place here. - JW
Dr. Barrett listened to my health narrative and was able to get me on a plan that first visit with immediate positive results. I had multiple perimenopausal symptoms that varied greatly.
