About Us
Dr. Vitaro
Naturopathic Physician
Colon Hydrotherapist
Owner
Dr. Vitaro is a highly ethical and caring professional who believes in the body's innate ability to heal itself. She works with individuals to ultimately determine the root cause of symptoms while swiftly taking care to eliminate discomfort. 
She accomplishes this by utilizing a variety of Naturopathic therapeutics including: Colon Hydrotherapy, Therapeutic Nutrition and Supplementation, Detoxification, Naturopathic Manipulation Technique, Botanical Medicine, Homeopathy and Lifestyle Counseling. Dr. Vitaro believes strongly in creating a hearty and thriving immune system, which in turn renders the body inhospitable to disease. This philosophy combined with attention to one's mental and spiritual well-being contributes to an individualized treatment plan for optimizing your health.
While obtaining her BS in Psychology from Regis University in Denver, Dr. Vitaro realized many of the health promoting benefits Colorado living had to offer. She went on to pursue her doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Arizona, and upon completion returned to Colorado to continue living her life according to naturopathic philosophy. Her combined educational background lends itself well to her partnership with patients in their health care goals. Dr. Vitaro welcomes patients who want to introduce natural medicine to their overall personal and family health care program. She enjoys working with individuals who have concerns regarding women's health, men's health, weight loss, immune system enhancement, sports medicine, detoxification, and general family practice.
Carol Steinheimer
Colon Hydrotherapist
Owner
Carol's exposure to natural health care began while still in the womb in 1957 when her mother was given a book on nutrition and health written by Adelle Davis. Throughout her childhood she was taught the importance of nutrition and eating a natural diet free from preservatives and processed foods, although in those days the term for such a person was "health nut".
Carol's interest, self-study and 
use of natural health modalities continued to increase through her adulthood. Carol received her MBA from the University of Arizona and was a consultant in the technology field for 22 years. With the growing acceptance of naturopathic health care and Carol's strong belief that it can be an integral part of the solution to today's health care crisis, she decided that the time was right time to share her passion with others. So together with Dr. Vitaro she founded Natural Flow. Carol developed her style of treatment based on her clinical training and personal experience as a recipient of colon hydrotherapy. She strives to ensure that her clients are comfortable and relaxed so they obtain the maximum benefits from each session.
Vikki Edwards
Colon Hydrotherapist
Vikki ‘s interest in health began years ago as she was working in the fast-paced hospitality industry. She began to embrace a preventative approach to her health with an emphasis on anti-aging. When Vikki discovered the profound benefits of cleansing she decided to pursue an education in colon hydrotherapy so 
she could enrich the lives of others though this experience. Vikki’s outgoing and compassionate personality puts her clients instantly at ease. She empathizes with others who have started on similar paths to discovering their own health potential and supports them on their journey. Vikki is a strong believer in the importance of educating her clients about the digestive system, cleansing, and the colon hydrotherapy process. Her down-to-earth style allows her to explain these concepts in a manner that is easy to understand and retain.
Dana McDowell
Psychotherapist
Dana McDowell, M.A., has joined Natural Flow to offer psychotherapy services to our clients. She specializes in Nutritional Psychology, utilizing a clinically researched approach to healing addictions, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, weight loss and eating disorders. She works in conjunction with Dr. Vitaro to test for health issues - such as blood sugar, hormone, or brain chemistry imbalances - that can contribute to depression, addictions, weight gain and many other physical and psychological issues.
In 2001, Dana left a successful, but unfulfilling, Bay Area high-tech career to study psychotherapy. 
She completed Naropa University’s Contemplative Psychotherapy Master’s program because she felt it most closely aligned with her personal beliefs about people. Dana believes that we are all intrinsically healthy — but at times we lose sight of that. Her philosophy is based on the notion of “brilliant sanity,” meaning that there is a seed of sanity in all of our neuroses, and that our unhealthy ways of coping come from earlier times in our lives when those coping mechanisms were necessary for survival. They served their purpose at one time; however, they may no longer be of use to us.
Bringing great compassion and understanding to the struggles of the human journey, she strives to meet clients where they are and help them learn to pay attention to habitual patterns with friendliness and curiosity. This leads to insight and the ability to change one’s life. Contemplative psychotherapy is particularly useful for moving from habitual reactions to the ability to respond authentically in the present moment. This can profoundly affect our experience of stress, anxiety, depression, and our relationship with ourselves and others.
Experienced as both a life coach and a psychotherapist, Dana brings a well-rounded and honest perspective to the challenges life presents. She also carries a deep passion for taking a holistic approach to achieving optimal wellness.
Dana works with adults, adolescents and children. Her main focus is helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions, weight loss and eating disorders. Please call our office to schedule an initial consultation or appointment.
