About Dr Marynowski:

Rachel Marynowski ND is a board-certified and licensed Naturopathic Physician in Atlanta, GA. After working in corporate health for a large hospital system, Dr Marynowski sought a more comprehensive medical model, based upon preventive rather than disease-based care; one that analyzes the whole body and encourages patients to take an active role in their own health. Dr Marynowski found that naturopathy was the perfect fit. She graduated from National University of Health Sciences and is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. She serves as an elected official on the Georgia Association of Naturopathic Physicians executive board and sits on the advisory committee for the naturopathic program at NUHS.

Dr Marynowski holds special interest in women’s health, gastrointestinal dysfunction & disease, environmental medicine, endocrinology/hormonal dysfunction, functional medicine, clinical nutrition and homeopathy. In 2016, she and three colleagues co-founded an integrative medical clinic where she currently practices as the head of primary care. Their clinic, VitalAtlanta, is in downtown Atlanta and includes the Atlanta Birth Center, psychotherapy, acupuncture, massage, craniosacral, chiropractic, lactation support, nutrition, midwifery, obstetrics and gynecology. She is also the co-founder of an online health & wellness initiative called www.kaleblossom.com. Her goal is to increase access to integrative medicine and to nourish practitioner partnerships for the ultimate benefit to each individual patient’s healthcare, and to empower patients to reach their optimal health in mind, body and spirit.
