About Dr. Pratt
Dr. Shelese Pratt, N.D.Shelese Pratt N.D., decided to become a doctor after years of searching for quality health care. She wanted to serve those patients who were not able to get the health care they sought in a restrictive system. She studied naturopathic medicine, and subsequently shares the treatments she learned with the ultimate goal of improving patients health and quality of life.
Dr. Pratt graduated with a BA in Biology from the University of Colorado. In 2004, she graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) — a nationally recognized, 4-year medical program in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Pratt earned both a doctorate in naturopathic medicine and a certificate in homeopathic medicine, and spent 2 years in the Masters of Classical Chinese Medicine program while at NCNM. Because Colorado does not have licensure guidelines for Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. Pratt attained her medical license and is board certified in Oregon, one of the strongest licensed states. Dr. Pratt has been a member of both the Colorado Association of Naturopathic Physicians (CANP) and the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) since 2004.
In 1998, Dr. Pratt started working with Susan McCrossin, the founder of Brain Integration Technique (BIT). Dr. Pratt joined McCrossin's practice at the Learning Enhancement Center as a Naturopathic Doctor in October 2004 and apprenticed with her before her BIT certification in January 2006. Dr. Pratt is the lead instructor for the BIT pre-requisite course, and continues to assist Susan McCrossin in teaching the BIT training course.
Dr. Shelese Pratt N.D. has a family practice and specializes in classical homeopathy, nutrition (diet and nutritional supplements), botanicals, and hydrotherapy. She also cares for patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), learning difficulties (ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia), sensory processing disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, and mood disorders. In addition to classical naturopathic medical protocols, Dr. Pratt also employs Crossinology's Brain Integration Technique (BIT) in her practice. She believes that each individual is unique and tailors a treatment plan specific to each patient. Dr. Pratt treats the majority of her patients (national and international), at her main clinic in Boulder, Colorado.
About Erica Anderson
Erica Anderson grew up in Boulder, CO and was introduced at a young age to alternative medicine such Naturopathic and Chinese Medicines as well as Kinesiology and muscle testing. In 2005 she graduated from Smith College in Northampton, MA and moved to New York City.
Erica was first introduced to Shelese Pratt and Brain Integration in 2005, after a head injury noticeably altered her brain function. The results of BIT as well as Dr. Pratt’s naturopathic medicine, convinced Erica that this treatment could dramatically improve brain function but also quality of life.
In 2008, after sending her entire family and closest friends to Dr. Pratt and seeing the effects BIT had with learning difficulties, emotional road blocks and head injuries, Erica decided to study at the Learning Enhancement Center with Susan McCrossin, the founder of Brain Integration Technique and Dr. Shelese Pratt. Prior to her BIT and Brain Physiology certification in February 2009, Erica began her intensive apprenticeship under Dr. Pratt and is now practicing out of her Stamford, CT office. Erica also recently opened a practice in New York City.
