Tara Tranguch, ND
Licensed Naturopathic Physician
Hello! I received my doctorate from the nationally accredited Naturopathic Medicine program at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. The Naturopathic Doctorate program is a 4 year full-time medical training program that included 850+ hours of clinical experience.
My undergraduate degree is from Duke University with a BA in English and Chinese. After graduating I moved to China and worked in telecommunications for nine years, and then continued this work in Paris, France for five years. When my contract in France was up, I packed up my Beijing cat Serafina and we moved to the Quiet Corner, CT to learn organic farming.
I was a vegetable, sprout and superfood farmer for 4 years. During this time I also became a certified health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. My farm, Serafina Says Farm, offered a CSA, sprouts, micro greens and wheatgrass, health coaching, juice cleanses, and wellness workshops. During this time I was inspired by Growing Power's urban farmer Will Allen to explore reuniting agriculture and medicine. Through this exploration I discovered Naturopathic Medicine.
​
I was raised in Woodbury, CT and I am thrilled to be home providing naturopathic health care to my local community.
The Value in Working With Me
Vision and Mission
My vision is to change the paradigm of health services from treating disease to delivering wellness.
My mission is to make naturopathic medicine a household name.
