“I want healing to begin the moment someone walks into The Healing Gardens. The people, the environment, the energy, the kindness...these things matter when you’re healing the whole person. The best medicine unites these things with science, nature, insight and experience.”
~ Dr. Jacqueline Fields
Jacqueline Fields, MD
A practicing physician since 1993, Jacqueline Fields is board-certified in both Family Practice and Integrative Holistic Medicine, with additional specialization in Functional Medicine. She trained during medical school with Dr. Andrew Weil and has worked extensively with tribal medicine of various cultures around the world.
In her practice, she utilizes allopathic medicine as well as integrative modalities. She frequently serves as a consulting physician for patients struggling with complex, chronic health conditions. Drawn to teach people about the natural aspects of healing and to make functional integrative health care accessible to people in need, Dr. Fields practice of medicine extends well beyond her offices, into the local community and beyond.
In 2003, Dr. Fields founded The Healing Gardens in Fort Collins, Colorado. This holistic integrative medicine center connects a diverse network of collaborating practitioners and resources to meet the health care needs of patients. Overseen by Dr. Fields, The Healing Gardens ecosystem includes the Health Center, Medicinal Store, Living Arts Center, The Foundation, and the Dr. Fields Sacred Skin product line.
In 2003, Dr. Fields developed Sacred Skin based on the latest scientific research and plant medicine.

The Dr. Fields’ Sacred Skin product line continues to grow, with proceeds benefiting the Foundation and, in turn, the Living Arts Center. Through these organizations, Dr. Fields helps finance integrative health care for eligible patients in need and supports a community garden and walking labyrinth, community meeting spaces, health and wellness classes, office space for partner practitioners, and research in functional integrative medicine.
