Midcoast Lyme Disease Support & Education (MLDSE) is pleased to have Dr. Carrie Werner as the guest speaker at its upcoming Lyme Support meeting on Tuesday, July 26 at the Wiscasset Community Center at 242 Gardiner Road from 6 to 8 p.m.

Dr. Werner is a licensed naturopathic doctor, midwife and educator who practices at Northern Sun Family Healthcare in Topsham. She grew up in Connecticut and completed her bachelor of science degree in psychology in Washington, D.C. After 2.5 years in Honduras as public health volunteer in the Peace Corps, and having always felt a call to medicine and to helping people, she went on to attend the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon where she earned her naturopathic medical degree and completed an apprenticeship in naturopathic midwifery. After completing her medical studies, she moved to Melbourne, Australia and opened her practice while teaching at the natural therapies college.

Carrie and her associate, Dr. Sarah Ackerly, take a well-educated and integrative natural approach to treating Lyme and tickborne diseases in a manner that fully supports the patient back into wellness. She is currently taking new patients (women, men and children).

This meeting is free and open to the public. Childcare is not provided so please plan accordingly.
