GLAMoms is excited to introduce you to Rosetta Kawauchi, a devoted mom of four, longtime Registered Nurse, and Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor who founded Essence of Healing in Okemos. Rosetta’s journey into holistic health began close to home when two of her sons were diagnosed with autism. Searching for ways to support their health and well-being, she discovered the benefits of naturopathic and holistic care. What began as a personal mission to help her family has grown into a full-time passion for helping others discover the body’s natural ability to heal.
At Essence of Healing, Rosetta combines her medical background with holistic, natural therapies to help clients of all ages find balance physically, emotionally, and energetically. From supporting chronic conditions and stress to helping families embrace preventive care, she believes true wellness starts from within.

Thank you for sharing more about you and Essence of Healing, Rosetta!
Tell us a little about yourself and what inspired you to become a naturopath?
I own Essence of Healing LLC in Okemos, Michigan (Est. 2020) Most importantly, I am a mother of 4 and have a loving and dedicated husband of 26 years!! I have been a Registered Nurse since 1994. I just knew that I wanted to serve and help people heal at a very young age. I became an RN at just 20 years old! I worked in various Critical Care Units. I received my BSN through Purdue University in 1999. I was blessed to have the gift of motherhood in 2001 with my first-born son. My husband and I had pregnancies (one baby died through a miscarriage) and 4 children. My 2 middle sons were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at an early age. With both my husband and I being western medicine minded… we followed conventional treatments and recommendations. I didn’t see an improvement with them. They were nonverbal and would just scream in pain and frustration. It was then that I opened my mind and looked for other types of help.
I met a Naturopath in 2011 and my whole world opened to Holistic Healing. My boys stopped screaming in pain and frustration and began to speak. I learned CrainoSacral from the Kalamazoo Center of Healing Arts through their Integrative Massage class. My family continued using Naturopathic Care along with some conventional western medicine practices to care for myself and my family. I became a Reiki Master and a Certified Practitioner of Esoteric Healing. After my beloved naturopath, Dr. Gail, passed away in 2021. I enrolled at Trinity School of Natural Health and became a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. After that I had a 3rd party evaluated and test my knowledge and skills. I met the highest standards to earned the title Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor. I have 12 advanced certifications in naturopathic and holistic care.
I am also a Licensed Ecclesiastical Holistic Practitioner which allows for hands on praying and is protected by law in our constitution under the 1st and 14th amendments under Freedom of Religion.
What are some common health concerns you see in families, and how do you approach them differently than conventional medicine?
Just about everyone that seeks me out has a Chronic Condition needing immune support, inflammation, fatigue, skin rashes, mold exposure, gut dysbiosis, pain, parasites, anxiety, and emotional stress.
Just about everyone has some level of frustration of feeling dismissed or unheard by their current health practitioner. I take the time to hear their story and address them as a whole: physically, emotionally, mentally, functionally, and energetically.
What ages do you typically work with?
I treat all ages. My youngest client is 18 months old and my oldest is 84 years old.
How does working with a naturopath help with preventive care and keeping the whole family healthy?
Working with a naturopath, like myself, can help address and correct symptoms before enough tissue/cellular damage has occurred which would then have a medical diagnosis through a medical provider. Naturopathic care can help remove obstacles so the body and “remember” its innate function of how to heal from within. If someone has a medical diagnosis, I can assist the client to support the body, systems, and organs by advising on lifestyle (food, air, water, sunlight, exercise, rest, emotional stability, and body and energy balance), along with high quality supplements, homeopathics, and regular check-ins to monitor progress.
What can a first-time client expect during their initial visit, and how can someone schedule an appointment?
To schedule an appointment, simply call or reach out to me through my website or email. I do several natural health assessments along with reviewing your health intake form that help me identify which areas of your body, organs and systems, are possibly challenged or strong. The Iridology assessment can show different familial dispositions that help you be proactive with your health before an issue arises. It can also help confirm what you’re already experiencing. The Terrain evaluation (testing pH of saliva and urine) Also gives me a good day to collect as to the functioning of how well your liver is assimilating and detoxifying. The pH of your urine gives me an idea of how well you are excreting waste. Evaluating your face, tongue and fingernails through TCM helps me to identify some challenged areas of your body.
I also use a ZYTO bioresonance/biofeedback that measures your galvanic skin response through scanning the (electrodermal scanning) palm of your hand which takes about five minutes. This measures 300 different foods in 7 categories finding the top 5 best and worst matches for you in 7 categories. I run a comprehensive wellness scan that measures over 200 biomarkers in 4 systems categories and 6 Lifestyle categories. This is nondiagnostic and helps to give me data to make decisions of a personalized plan of care. This measures a circuit of organs, systems, meridians, emotions, vertebrae. This measures responses to your body to virtual stressors and balancers that could help your body go to the root of your health concerns.
I spend a good deal of time hearing and addressing emotions that can cause physical symptoms. We come up with a plan together for you to build for foundations of health,help remove obstacles, such as chemicals, endocrine, blockers, and opening up your pathways of elimination to help your body rid yourself of toxins.All these interventions can help improve managing your cholesterol, improving thyroid and adrenal health, decreasing inflammation, and by doing all of these you may lose some weight. I provide herbal recommendations, lifestyle recommendations, homeopathic remedies, herbal tinctures, and high-quality supplements.
Are there simple, natural strategies you recommend for busy moms to support their energy, stress, and overall wellness?
Absolutely. I myself am a busy mom!! I teach how to “ground” one’s self, breath work, and customized Flower Essence Blends that are very personalized can help to balance out of balance emotions. Every time a client comes in for an appointment, they receive a complementary mood remedy. If a parent is bringing in a child, both will receive a customized mood remedy I blend. It is in a glycerin base and added to natural spring water.
