I just had my first visit with Dr. Rodriguez. She is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable. I had many questions and she answered all with detailed explanations that you do not get with many doctors today. I am just starting my treatments with her and I am very excited to see what the future holds.

Dr. Marie Rodriguez is an amazing, compassionate and gifted healer. She listens closely, and offers non judgmental support and acutely informed guidance to help her patients journey toward wellness. It’s truly a blessing to find a holistic practitioner, who is grounded in solid science while holding a creative intuitive framework. After several years, and a myriad of diagnosis and doctors, I am finally feeling better. I’m very grateful!

Dr Rodriguez has helped me immensely recover from fatigue and psoriasis that followed my cancer treatment. In addition, she gently led me down the path of quitting smoking which I NEVER thought was possible. Her gentle suggestions and encouragement made it actually easier to quit, along with attention to other aspects of my health has made a huge difference!

Dr. Marie is wonderful. She takes the time to understand how one is feeling and “gets” what other Dr.’s don’t. I have been seeing her for 2 years, and highly recommend her. She has helped me immensely with my thyroid, adrenal fatigue, PMS and stress. She makes tweaks as needed through my journey for better health. Great bedside manner, listening skills, caring approach and knowledge to natural health.

Dr. Marie was great. She adjusted her schedule to see me for an illness despite not having seen me before. There was no sense of needing to rush or hurry. She took the time to listen and find out what the urgent concerns were. Her calm demeanor and willingness to explain things was wonderful.

Dr. Marie has a deep comprehension of a body’s needs and a simple, clear style of communication. She is personable and easy to talk to, and her ability to summarize a ton of helpful info in a single session is such a joy. Her connection to the divine is evident immediately, and her commitment to a practical path for each individual is calming and lovely. I recommend her to anyone interested in a whole body approach to health. She’s fabulous!

I received a Reconnecting session. The effects are profound and foundational, both during and after the session, reverberating across multiple aspects of my state of mental clarity, emotional calm, and freedom to access and direct deeper intentions.

Dr. Marie is without a doubt the best doctor I have seen in ages. After a constant battle with severe fatigue, Dr. Marie has been the only person able to help me. She is extremely knowledgeable and I trust her with all of my health concerns. With her thoughtful, caring and logical approach to healing, I can not recommend her enough!

Dr. Marie Rodriguez is a skilled and compassionate naturopathic doctor. I would like to give my highest endorsement of Dr. Rodriguez. As a professional healer myself, I fully appreciate the top notch care and expertise that she provides to me as my doctor. She is a warm and talented professional who has helped me to improve my overall health and wellness as well as target some specific areas of weakness in order to improve. I highly recommend Dr. Marie Rodriguez.

Dr. Marie Rodriguez is the best! Her knowledge base and skills as a naturopath are exceptional. I see her for a specialized energy medicine treatment and always at the end of a session I am renewed and restored. She is as capable as she is personable. I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez to those interested in receiving good quality, loving, and compassionate care from an alternative medicine practitioner.

Dr. Rodriguez is wonderful! I had never been to a naturopath before, but I will definitely be coming back. Dr. Rodriguez took the time to talk to me about all of my concerns and customized my treatment plan to fit my needs. I think this is the first time I spent more than 10 minutes with a doctor and actually felt heard. I look forward to seeing Dr. Rodriguez again.

Dr. Rodriguez is my go-to person for health and wellness. She has always been able to understand whatever issue I brought in, and make pertinent observations and suggestions. She has helped me with, among other things, menopause concerns, stress-related issues, and Bell’s palsy. Her cranio-sacral treatment are simply powerful. I highly recommend her talents as an energy worker through cranio-sacral therapy.

Dr. Marie is truly the best. I am always impressed with the depth and wide range range of healing methods she uses to heal. She is listens and provide excellent approaches to the problem. I am extremely pleased with the progress and look forward to more healthy improvements.

I was very pleased with Dr. Marie’s approach during my initial appointment. This was also my first introduction to naturopathic healing and I found it to be very helpful and informative. I love Dr. Marie’s approach to treating my health complaints. I felt very “heard” and I found I was telling her much more about my lifestyle than I would normally provide to another physician. I’m very excited to get started on the lifestyle changes and treatments she suggested. Stay tuned for updates!

Hands down, the best healer and doctor I have ever had. Dr. Marie actually listens to you — and my health has dramatically improved. For the first time in 20 years, I’m completely free of allergy medications — not to mention improved digestion, clearer skin, and more peaceful outlook on life.

On the initial consultation, Dr. Rodriguez will listen to your health concerns and evaluate your past medical history. I went to her after suffering from acne for two years and she made a thorough naturopathic prescription that consisted of dietary/lifestyle recommendations and supplements. After following the plan she created for me, my skin has drastically improved and I no longer have severe acne! I would highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and I am looking forward to my follow up visit.

For the first time in 5 months, I was able to sleep through the entire night without waking up because my foot would go numb and cold and start to throb. Craniosacral Therapy is awesome. Also, 5 years ago Dr. Rodriguez taught me how to detox and my Hep C viral load keeps coming down. She really understands how to support health.

I have been seeing Dr. R for almost a year. I was having difficulty with hormone balancing. She prescribed diet changes and natural hormone supplements which have worked wonders. I feel great. She listens to my questions and takes the time to determine what your body needs. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a natural way to healthy living.

I was recommended to Dr Rodriguez through a friend who suggested her after I started looking for other alternatives to dealing with life long allergies, instead of taking shots for the next 5 years. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge and attentiveness. She customized a treatment plan and I began working on it. Through her plan I have been able to uncover the root of many issues, an allergy to corn, that I would have never found. I feel better than I have ever felt.

Dr. Rodriguez is bright, and kind, and she listens carefully! She customized my treatment plan which was for continued issues associated with a craneotomy I had several years ago for a ruptured aneurysm and has been truly helpful. I will absolutely be returning for further tratment and medicine.

When I began seeing Dr. Rodriguez I had my own mini pharmacy of meds for my allergies and asthma and I was a faithful recipient of the annual flu shot. In no time I ‘opted out’ of all the allergists’ meds and ‘opted in’ to the remedies Dr. Rodriguez suggested to support my respiratory system. No inhalers, no shots, no drugs!! I’m not cured but I feel better than ever! Dr. Rodriguez has educated me and I feel I’m well equipped to make better, smarter choices for myself.

I took my 3 year old son to see Dr. Rodriguez. She is great w/ children. Very patient and understanding. She is presently treating my son and we are happy to have found her.She treats the WHOLE person not just the symptoms!

Dr. Rodriguez listens to her patients and asks pertinent questions to understand not just symptoms — but the whole person — diet, stress level, exercise (or lack thereof!), to understand the root cause of the symptoms and craft an effective course of treatment . I haven’t felt this good in a long time!

Visiting Dr. Rodriguez was a great way to start the new year! She is very knowledgable and really listens to you! The best part is she makes full, optimal health achievable without the gimmick or smoke and mirrors. She breaks down what you need to do into easy to follow solutions. Dr. Rodriguez really takes time to understand how your body works and prescribes remedies just for you. She also to I highly recommend the cranio therapy. I walked out excited to start my journey to full health.

I was recommended to Dr Rodriquez through a friend who suggested her after I started looking for other alternatives to dealing with life long allergies, instead of taking shots for the next 5 years. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge and attentiveness. She customized a treatment plan and I began working on it. Through her plan I have been able to uncover the root of many issues, an allergy to corn, that I would have never found. I feel better than I have ever felt.

I first went to see Dr. Rodriguez in July 2009. I had been suffering for nine months with a skin rash. I had seen my nurse practitioner a number of times, consulted with a doctor, and done lots of internet research. I was (am) allergic to latex, and feared a life of living like a hermit, which is how many with severe latex allergy live. Dr. R suggested blood work and a change in my diet, which I agreed to try. My rash is gone now. She does amazing work, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Rodriguez has been an incredible healer and supporter to me over the last five years while I have been coping with a severe hormone imbalance (PMDD). The first time I spoke to her about my health issues and the toll they were taking on my life, I was struck by how much she really listened to me, in a way that none of my other doctors had. My hormone swings used to make me extremely depressed, emotional, anxious, lethargic, bloated and hateful. My other doctors would just prescribe me birth control without testing to determine the cause of the imbalance or giving me any other options. The birth control never really worked to treat the symptoms, and actually worsened the imbalance for me. These health problems were devastating for my very high powered and stressful career and my general happiness, and I needed someone who could help resolve the cause of the hormone imbalance so that I could go on living my life. Fortunately, I learned about naturopathy through a friend of mine, and found Dr. Rodriguez in the D.C. area. ??My health problems are very complicated, but through a variety of tests and natural treatments, Dr. Rodriguez has helped me to improve my health immensely over the years. She truly cares about healing her patients in all aspects, by addressing not only the body, but also the mind and spirit (she often tells me that I need to have more fun!). She has an impressively large network of doctors, acupuncturists and therapists in this town, who she will recommend to supplement her treatment if need be. ??While we are still pursuing some treatments, I can say that through my work with Dr. Rodriguez, my ability to perform in my career has improved immensely, as has the quality of my life. I cannot thank Dr. Rodriguez enough for all that she has done for me, and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs healing.

I started seeing Dr. Marie for treatment of a chronic digestive condition for which traditional Western medicines had provided no sustained relief for years. I was dealing with significant pain and was unable to really function as a person, not to mention work — and was told by numerous doctors that my only choice was invasive and often-dangerous major surgery.

When I came to Dr. Marie, she obviously had either treated patients with my condition before, or had done a great deal of research. Her therapies have been effective, have not caused any side-effects that I’ve noticed, and have left me feeling energized. I’ve been able to start exercising and working again, and no longer feel pressure to undergo that surgery.

Dr. Marie genuinely cares for her patients and takes the time to explain exactly why her treatments work the way they do. She also encouraged me to undertake positive lifestyle changes that I would have once thought impossible. She has literally changed my life.

Finding Dr. Rodriguez was like finding “X marks the spot” on a treasure map. When our daughter was 17 days old, she had a massive stroke. This past winter (at age 4), our little one began to have awful seizures throughout the night, as well as vomiting daily. We went to Dr. Rodriguez desperate to calm our daughter’s nervous and GI systems. Through nutrition, supplementation, homeopathics, and energy work, Dr. Rodriguez helped us get remarkably fast results–two weeks after our appointment, the seizures and vomiting were completely gone and have remained so for months. In addition, Dr. Rodriguez suggested sending in a lab sample and found that our daughter had contracted a staph infection when she was a tiny infant in the hospital (which had been completely overlooked by GI specialists); and she began treatment for that as well. Having no more seizures or seizure medication that would dull her development, our little angel is “exploding” (as her therapists describe the change) in all skill areas. We are so grateful for Dr. Rodriguez–she is compassionate, intuitive, and well versed in science; and has given our daughter new opportunities to heal, opening doors for a much brighter future!!!

I started seeing Marie in the fall of 2006 after moving to the Washington, DC area from New York City. At that time I felt as though my life energy was drained. I was sad, lonely, overweight, and had terrible problems with chronic yeast infections. Marie began working with me on changing my diet to a more holistic, healthy one. We also began craniosacral therapy at that time. At the end of 2008 my husband and I moved to Germany, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to continue the good work that Marie had started with me. She suggested that we do long distance energy healing, as I was anxious to keep working on my health problems. Since that time I have lost over 70 pounds, I have mental and spiritual clarity, and I feel connected to the universe in a way that I never have. In my sessions with Marie I feel enlightened, clear and conscious. My depression has ceased and I feel like I could take on the world. Marie is so compassionate, understanding, and care-giving. She really has changed my life through the practice of long distance energy healing. I continue to “see” Marie on a regular basis, and won’t stop. Long distance energy healing has become an integral part of my good health and well-being. I believe in the work that Marie does, and know from experience that it helps to heal past wounds and promote beautiful, vibrant health.

I was referred to Dr. Marie Rodriguez and could not be happier. In the few months I have been seeing her she has solved several health problems of mine that I have had for years. From the second you step into her office there is a feeling of serenity and the weight of your day is lifted. Dr. Marie is inquisitive and very knowledgeable and treats the whole person. I absolutely recommend her as a health care professional to seek out for anything from a nagging ailment to improving your overall general health and lifestyle.

I’ve seen Dr Rodriguez for ~ 1 yr. She was a true sanity savior for me. Having suffered with horrible menopausal symptoms for years, she diagnosed ( with medical testing) an underlying adrenal issue. I found relief in several weeks and continue to improve.
Her office is very convenient to Metro. Her manner is direct and caring. She is curious and listens well. She takes good notes and sends you home with a copy of them!
If you have only experienced traditional western medicine – and leave feeling like a body part or a diagnosis but not a full human being, Dr Rodriguez is the person for you. She bridges the best of western Rodriguez enough for all that she has done for me, and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs healing.

After seven craniosacral treatments, I am still not sure how Marie does what she does — all I know is that it works. I’ve seen her after injuries and when I am feeling “normal”, and each time I leave feeling extraordinarily better physically and emotionally. It is hard to describe, but my body feels alive and tingling, as if energy is flowing through me like a thousand rivers. My mind is relaxed and my thoughts are light — gone are the concepts of worry and doubt.

I started seeing Dr. Rodriguez again when I was trying to deal with stress from my marital separation. In addition to energy work, she treated me with homeopathy, coached me on diet, and listened to my problems in a way that truly sets her apart from other doctors that I have worked with. The homeopathic remedies were completely tailored to me, and they immediately started to work. I hadn’t realized that the remedies would help with issues that were psychological as well as medical. I started to have more mental clarity, focus, more strength and I started to address problems in my life. Throughout last year, I started to feel stronger and happier. Even co-workers started commenting that “I was so much better than before.” She also advised me to begin eliminating inflammatory foods from my diet, and I started by taking dairy out first – I am now 100% dairy and gluten free. I can’t believe how much healthier and happier I feel due to her loving care, guidance, and wisdom. I am happy to say that my husband and I reconciled in January 2010 and we are expecting our second child- a baby boy in Jan 2011! I feel like a different person now. I am so grateful that I have a doctor like Dr Rodriguez. I have never experienced such care and attention from a doctor. I truly believe that she is a healer.

In my opinion, a naturopathic doctor is also perfect for anyone pregnant. In this pregnancy, she has been able to treat illness like bladder infections, yeast infections, insomnia, sciatica in ways far superior to any western MD. I know this because I had a painful bladder infection when I was 2 months pregnant and my regular MD just said to drink cranberry juice and “hang in there.” That doctor really only seems to know how to prescribe antibiotics and for a pregnancy- thats pretty useless to me. The midwife that I have is fine but her advice and care is very vague in comparison to Dr Rodriguez. Dr R made an herbal tea that was safe for pregnancy and it worked! She also had other remedies that worked as well.

She also has been treating my daughter who is almost 4- for ear infections. She is loving, maternal and has been able to coach us on how to prevent the infections and prevent the use of antibiotics. My daughter loves her and her advice can be unusual, but it works! My family is so lucky to have her as our doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Rodriguez for a couple years now, and from the moment I walked into her office, I knew she’d be different from any other doctor I had been with before. When I sat down with her, I finally felt like I had a physician’s undivided attention. She spent 2 hours with me on my first visit, gathering all of my medical history and taking the time to really figure out what the underlying cause of all my issues were. I look forward to my appointments with her and see it as “me” time where I can relax and receive the care that I deserve. I feel like a million bucks everytime I leave her office. I have started homeopathic remedies and changed my eating patterns and have noticed a HUGE change. My attitude has changed as well. Anyone looking to receive the utmost care and treatment for their underlying issues, and not just the symptoms, should definitely see Dr. Rodriguez. Meeting her was one the of the best decisions I have made.

Dr Rodriguez is a wonderful physician. She is patient even with older clients. It took me several visits to really begin to follow her advice. I have several friends who are “crazy” naturals, so I was resistant – because I did not want to be a “crazy”. She treats all of you not just parts of you, laced with a little humor and persistence.

I was feeling fatigued for over 4 months, and could not get to the bottom of the issue. Fortunately I met Marie at a conference and made an appointment with her. Within 2 weeks of her prescribing a number of natural substances, my normal energy levels returned. I appreciate the blend of study and experience Marie brings to provide services that work! And, I appreciate her kind and patient demeanor.
