Meet Dr. Nelson

Whole-Person Naturopathic Care for Women & Children

Owner/Founder

I’m Dr. Jameelah Nelson, naturopathic doctor, mom of three, and founder of Healthy Lifestyle Wellness Center. I help women and children get to the root cause of their health concerns without band-aid fixes or dismissive care.

If you've been told "your labs are normal" but still feel off…
If your child is struggling with recurring tummy issues, rashes, or sleep troubles…
If you’re craving real answers, compassionate care, and a holistic plan that actually works

You're in the right place.

My work is deeply personal—because I’ve lived it.

After the birth of my second son, I found myself drowning in postpartum depression and anxiety. But it wasn’t just my mood I was also dealing with painful, heavy periods that made it hard to function, energy crashes that left me barely making it through the day, and hormonal shifts that felt like a stranger had taken over my body. And like many women, I was told it was “normal” or “just part of being a mom.”

But I knew something wasn’t right. And I refused to stay stuck in survival mode.

Turning to natural medicine changed my life. I found answers, real healing, and most importantly hope. That journey lit a fire in me to help other women and children break free from the cycles of hormonal chaos, exhaustion, and confusion.

Now I serve as your doctor, guide, and cheerleader bringing together science and soul to support your healing journey.

My Credentials:

  • Bachelor of Science in Biology – Spelman College
  • Master of Science in Biology – Clark Atlanta University
  • Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine – Sonoran University of Health Sciences (formally Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine)

Before launching my private practice, I:

  • Worked as a biologist at the CDC
  • Participated in medical missions to Costa Rica & Nicaragua, serving underserved communities
  • Trained in holistic tools like herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, mineral therapy, and lifestyle medicine

How I Work: I Treat the Whole You

I don’t believe in 7-minute appointments or “just take this and see how you feel.”

I offer a personalized, naturopathic approach that blends:

  • Comprehensive labs and full-body assessments
  • Natural therapies to restore balance (herbs, nutrition, homeopathy, and more)
  • Support for both women and children—because family health is foundational
  • A safe space where you can be fully heard, understood, and validated

Whether you're navigating painful periods, hormonal mood swings, fatigue that won’t budge, or your child is struggling with chronic symptoms, we dig deep not just treat the surface.

Motherhood, Medicine & Mission

When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me:

  • Soaking up life with my husband and three energetic boys
  • Reading something nourishing (or watching a good rom-com)
  • Cooking up vegetarian meals and dreaming up new ways to help my patients thrive

I believe that when women heal, we heal generations and that ripple starts with you.

You deserve a doctor who listens.
A plan that’s made just for you.
And a healing journey that feels hopeful not overwhelming.

I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
