Why I became a naturopathic doctor:
- My personal struggle with Hashimoto's thyroiditis as a teenager led to me feeling confused and hopeless as I navigated conventional medical treatments without much improvement or feeling supported. I decided I wanted to become a doctor who combined medicine and nutrition; naturopathic medicine provides that perfect merger. I love that I have plenty of time to spend with my patients, and the opportunity to understand and validate how they are feeling. Naturopathic medicine is so rewarding for me because I get to work closely with people to help them achieve their goals and integrate effective progress into their lives.
What conditions I love to treat:
- PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, menopause, cervical dysplasia, and hormone imbalances
- Hashimoto's, hypo/hyperthyroidism, and subclinical thyroid conditions
- Chronic fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and depression
- IBS/IBD, SIBO, and intestinal permeability (leaky gut)

"If I could give Dr. Lieb 100 stars, I would. She’s the doctor I’ve spent years looking for: thorough, smart, patient, and extremely versed in the functional medicine approach to hormones. I’ve had a diagnosis of PCOS since I was a teenager and no doctor was really ever able to explain it to me, no less fix it. I was always recommended birth control and that’s it. Dr. Lieb not only listened to my story and my symptoms but then ran a series of extremely helpful functional labs for hormones (and other things!) so that she could see the full picture. She rebalanced my hormones using a series of herbs, supplements, diet and lifestyle changes that I would never have been able to do myself or reading stuff on the internet, which I had been doing up until that point. I’m thrilled to say that my PCOS is totally under control - regular periods, no more acne, no more hair loss, my weight is normal. Such a satisfied customer of the Dr. Maura Practice and the wonderful, supportive staff, I recommend them to everyone and am with Dr. Lieb for life."
