Naturopathic Doctor - Independent Contractor or W2 Employee (depending on experience and fit)

Are you a curious, motivated, and entrepreneurial naturopathic doctor who thrives in a high-achieving environment? Do you bring not only excellent clinical skills but also the desire to grow, contribute, and collaborate in a meaningful way? If so, we’d love to connect.

About Us

Shalva Clinic, under the direction of Dr. Ellen Lewis, is a well-established, cash-based naturopathic clinic located in the heart of economically thriving Westport, Connecticut. Our patients have come to expect a high level of care and we’ve built the systems, support, and standards to deliver it consistently. We are high achievers who value curiosity, groundedness, integrity, and teamwork.

We’re looking for someone bright, reflective, and motivated—someone eager to build a meaningful, long-term career in naturopathic medicine. Whether you're an established doctor seeking a solid, supportive home base, or a newer graduate ready to grow in a mentored environment, we want to hear from you.

Two Pathways Available

• Independent Contractor Agreement – Ideal for experienced NDs with an existing patient base who are looking to join a streamlined, professional, and fully supported clinic
• W2 Employment – Ideal for newer NDs who are seeking mentorship and a structured environment in which to grow their skills and practice

What We Offer

• Fully staffed, systemized clinic
• Comprehensive laboratory supplies, phlebotomy, and vendor relationships
• On-site medicinary for patient convenience
• Integrated EMR and streamlined inventory/lab communication
• Furnished office in a thriving, health-conscious, and affluent community
• A team of dedicated professionals committed to clinical excellence and mutual support
• Opportunity to personalize your practice while receiving the tools to succeed
• A non-insurance, cash-based practice model designed for sustainability
• The infrastructure and support to help you build a practice capable of billing $25K+ per month

This is more than a space—it’s a serious opportunity to build something real.

We’re seeking someone who sees naturopathic medicine not just as a passion—but as a profession. This opportunity is best suited for someone who’s ready to commit to growing a meaningful, sustainable practice. If you’re looking for a part-time role, a short-term stepping stone, or a way to dabble in the field, this likely won’t be the right fit. We’re building something long-term, and we want a doctor who’s in it for the same reason.

This Is For You If

• You are curious, self-motivated, and solutions-oriented
• You love being part of a team and bring a positive, collaborative energy
• You thrive in environments that value integrity, accountability, and heart
• You want a long-term opportunity where your efforts contribute to a shared vision
• You’re not looking for someone to do the work for you—but you’re excited by mentorship and growth

A Note from Your Future Collaborator

You’ll be working with someone who’s committed to balance, fairness, and shared success. I believe in equitable, sustainable professional relationships and have no interest in micromanaging but I do thrive on supporting and mentoring people who bring curiosity, motivation, and initiative to the table. If you’re ready to build something meaningful, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
