Dr. Carlie’s Mission:
While there is a time and place for all health modalities, Dr. Carlie offers solutions to those who are looking for natural and holistic ways to approach their health and lifestyle goals. My brand encompasses all things holistic, including education, products and services.
I am a licensed Naturopathic Physician and Cannabis Educator with expertise in holistic, complementary and plant-based medicine. Born in Dayton, OH and raised in Houston, TX, both cities are near and dear to my heart. My third home is Phoenix, AZ, where I resided for five years and completed my Naturopathic Medical degree. It is said that all great healers spend some time in the desert.
Many people ask me why I decided to go into natural medicine. I always wanted to become a doctor, but when I would visit a conventional physician’s office, I knew I aspired to practice a different kind of medicine. I wanted to be more of healer, working with herbs and spending more time with my patients. I discovered Naturopathic Medicine, and the rest is history.
My motivation to become a natural medicine doctor primarily comes from watching my dad’s failing health over the years. With several chronic illnesses ailing him, from congestive heart failure to prostate cancer, I knew his diet and sedentary lifestyle were to blame. Being a truck driver by day, and couch potato by night, my dad had very little inspiration to move his body, with the exception of walking Toots, his beloved Miniature Pinscher who passed away a few years back. A diet of mostly white and brown foods, sweets, beer and meat lover’s pizza created the perfect storm for a disease body state. My father is 73 years old, and is the most loving and selfless individual you could ever meet. He taught me the definition of unconditional love, and has always been my rock.
I founded Monaco Natural Health Solutions LLC in September of 2018. Monaco Natural Health offers health questionnaires with resulting dietary, lifestyle and supplement recommendations. The Dr. Carlie brand launched in January 2020 and encompasses Monaco Natural Health, Monaco Academy, natural products, the Monaco CBD brand, health coaching services and more.
I am a professional educator presenting on natural health topics including stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine, natural remedies and the medicinal benefits of cannabis. Health coaching is available to individuals as well as medical practices that value the need to incorporate health coaching services for their patients. Monaco Academy offers holistic health and cannabis related courses with an e-learning platform.
