Rebecca R. Word, ND is originally from eastern Tennessee and received her BA in fine
arts and humanities from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1997.  She
moved to Toronto, Ontario in 2001 and it was there that she attended the four year
naturopathic medical program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine
graduating in 2007 with the distinction of the Governor’s Award.  After practicing for
several years in Canada she has returned to the south and the beautiful Appalachian
Mountains.  She now practices in Black Mountain, NC at Source For Well-Being, a
multidisciplinary clinic.  She and her husband have two small children and love to hike,
bike and generally breathe in the fresh mountain air.

Rebecca has a general practice and treats all ages and conditions.  She has a special
interest in pediatrics, digestive complaints, women’s health, and detoxification.  Her
approach leans heavily on naturopathic principles of education, individualized
treatment, prevention, safety and treating the underlying cause of disease rather than
symptom management.  

Rebecca uses an eclectic style of treatment drawing upon one or several modalities for
each client.  Each person may be instructed in the use of herbs, nutrition and diet
modification, homeopathic remedies, hydrotherapy techniques and lifestyle
counseling.  In addition, exploration of mental, emotional and spiritual health is always
a part of a holistic investigation into an individual’s state of wellness.
