About

A note from Dr. Gould:

Growing up in Durango, Co I was often immersed in nature. In the quiet, the solitude that only the wildest places provide. I think this is where the seed was planted that our bodies are a part of nature, and thus we have an innate capacity to heal.

Watching my parents struggle within the conventional medical model led me to explore other approaches to health, rooted in a belief that health is our birthright.

This inquiry ultimately led me to yoga which planted the seeds for an integrative approach. When I discovered osteopathic medicine, I knew I was home. Family medicine became a necessary part of my training and all of this, plus my inherent ongoing curiosity, led me to a much broader understanding of what shapes our health.

I know the value of conventional medicine. There are times when we need testing, medication, imaging, specialists, or urgent intervention. And there are times when what we need most is someone willing to slow down, listen deeply, connect the dots, and ask why.

I believe the best medicine lives in the bridge between the two.

That is why I created Durango Integrative Medicine.

I wanted to practice medicine in a way that allows me to truly know the people I care for—not just their diagnoses, but their stories, families, goals, challenges, and the lives they want to be living.

My role isn’t to have every answer or to “fix” you. It is to listen, bring together the best of conventional and integrative medicine, and help you understand your body so we can create a path forward together.

It is a privilege to be invited into someone’s health story, and I don’t take that lightly.
