Our Approach
Dr. Cool is Fort Collins' only doctor who is both a Naturopathic Doctor and a Chiropractor. She has specialized in connecting the brain and body to process emotions and physical pain. She is on a mission to improve the experience of being a human in the modern world. Our families depend on us, which means the world needs to heal.
Who We Are
Formerly Dr. Shaw of Shaw Family Practice.
Shaw Family Practice was founded in 2018 and it quickly became well known locally and won many awards before the name of the practice became The Cool Clinic in 2023. It continues to serve people who are ready to change their life with natural medicine and chiropractic care.
Dr. Cool is a highly qualified doctor who has dedicated her professional career to improving the health of those around her. She utilizes two doctorates of natural medicine and her clinical experience to educate and motivate people to care for the function of their bodies to reclaim their lives.
The clinic breaks the norm for healthcare by working for their patients and surpassing their expectations with heartfelt care, personalized visits, and advocating for every person they serve. Dr. Cool says this is the result of how they do things differently, “In listening to people who have been hurt by medical care and our broken health care system, I see the importance of what I do,” she said. “I provide a caring environment where people can come tell their story, finally have their doctor be their advocate, and get to the root of the problems that have been ignored, minimized or dismissed. People are suffering, and I provide gentle natural health care along side hope and healing”.
Why we do things differently
All of us live in a world that is dysregulated and sick because so many people today are not getting their health concerns adequately addressed. Visits with a doctor need to be longer, they need to make you feel safe, seen, and understood.
Going to the doctor should not be something you hate. People struggle to get results and find themselves left in the dark by healthcare providers, running out of options. Avoiding doctors does not help. Leaving health issues untreated makes things worse.
Unless something changes, people will burn out, feel shame about their health, snap at their loved ones, fail to meet expectations, and cry alone from the guilt.
You are not alone, your doctor should show you they care in how they talk to you and how they treat you.
People of all ages see Dr. Cool because she teaches them how to take care of their health, and feel like their truest selves. It's time to see a doctor who believes in you, who values your experiences, and who can be there with you so you can heal.
"The greatest medicine of all is to teach people how not to need it."
