Born and raised in Durango, Colorado, Dr. Natalie Gould has always been drawn to the outdoors and to understanding what helps people truly heal. Her passion for osteopathic medicine began early, inspired by her mentor, Dr. Paul Lee, whose work revealed the body’s innate ability to restore balance and health.
Dr. Gould earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Parker, Colorado, where she was selected for the competitive pre-doctoral fellowship in Osteopathic Principles and Practices, gaining advanced training in traditional osteopathic techniques. She completed her Family Medicine residency with Peak Vista Community Health Centers in Colorado Springs, providing comprehensive care across inpatient, outpatient, and urgent care settings.
Before medical school, Dr. Gould trained extensively in yoga therapy and taught full-time at YogaDurango under her maiden name, Natalie Brandsma. Her background in yoga and meditation continues to shape her holistic, mind-body approach to medicine.
As an osteopathic and integrative physician, Dr. Gould blends Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), functional medicine, and evidence-based lifestyle medicine to help patients uncover root causes of imbalance. Her care often includes advanced lab testing, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, herbal and supplement recommendations, and OMT. She works with patients of all ages, addressing conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, hormone imbalance, and postpartum recovery.
Dr. Gould’s practice, Durango Integrative Medicine & Osteopathy, offers compassionate, whole-person care that integrates modern science with holistic healing.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Gould enjoys time in the mountains with her husband and two children, continued yoga and meditation practice, and a love of reading and lifelong learning.

What is Osteopathic and Integrative Health Care?
From an integrative approach, osteopathic medicine utilizes all tools to help you remove obstacles blocking you from the natural state of the human organism, which is health. True health is not just the absence of disease but a state of radiance and vitality when all aspects of the body-mind-spirit unit are in harmony.
