Tantien Integrative Medicine is a specialized, physician-led

Tantien Integrative Medicine

Tantien Integrative Medicine is a specialized, physician-led practice located in Branford, Connecticut, dedicated to providing root-cause care, lifestyle and longevity medicine for adults across the Greater New Haven region and the Connecticut shoreline. Led by Dr. Laura Tavernier, MD, the practice offers a highly personalized approach by limiting its patient base to 100 individuals, ensuring that every client receives the dedicated time and attention required for complex health concerns. With 34 years of clinical experience, Dr. Tavernier is board-certified in integrative medicine and fellowship-trained at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. The practice specializes in managing chronic conditions such as Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, and brain fog. By utilizing advanced 3x4 Genetics testing, the team creates tailored treatment plans that address individual biological needs regarding inflammation, hormones, and stress, rather than relying on standardized, symptom-based prescriptions. Patients can expect a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation designed to uncover the full history of their health rather than just a list of symptoms. This commitment to deep, individualized care ensures that every treatment plan is uniquely built for the patient's specific body, fostering a collaborative and thorough path toward improved wellness. At Tantien Integrative Medicine, I partner with somatic educator and Oxygen Advantage®–certified breathwork instructor Nicole Tavernier, creator of The Functional Living Method™ and the State Flexibility™ framework. Through The Functional Living Method™, Nicole offers somatic movement education, functional breath work, and nervous-system–focused support to help clients build regulation, resilience, and state flexibility — in person at our Branford office and virtually for clients worldwide.

New Sleep Disorder Treatment Now Available at Madison

Waterstone Health

Struggling with poor sleep, chronic fatigue, insomnia, or sleep apnea? Waterstone is expanding care in Madison with a new specialized Sleep Disorders Treatment Program designed to help patients finally get the restorative sleep they need for better overall health. Led by Thomas Abbenante, MD, a board-certified sleep physician, and Amanda Ciampini, APRN, the program provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of sleep conditions. Patients can receive care for sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, circadian rhythm disorders, and other sleep disturbances that affect daily life, mood, and long-term health. Quality sleep is closely connected to mental wellness, energy levels, concentration, and physical health. Through personalized treatment plans, modern diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based therapies—including CPAP management, medical treatment, and behavioral sleep strategies—our goal is to help patients improve sleep quality and restore healthy sleep patterns. The sleep program is available at Waterstone’s Madison and Hamden locations, making specialized sleep care more accessible to individuals throughout shoreline Connecticut and the greater New Haven region. Waterstone has been part of the Madison community since 2015, originally founded to provide compassionate outpatient care for individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges. Over the past decade, our practice has grown into a trusted local resource offering mental health counseling, substance use treatment, and psychiatric medication management. The addition of sleep medicine reflects Waterstone’s commitment to whole-person care—recognizing that sleep, mental health, and recovery are deeply connected. If ongoing sleep problems are affecting your health, relationships, or ability to function at your best, help is available close to home. Better sleep starts here!
