About

Welcome to Heart Body Glow Wellness. I am Maame-Mensima Horne, Naturopathic Doctor and Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist. My mission is support you on your  journey to cultivate your health and vitality by providing a heart-centered approach to mind, body and spirit healing. 

My Journey

I began her medical journey as a Kids Yoga Instructor teaching yoga and mindfulness in New York City after school programs. After deepening my practice and becoming certified to teach adults, I was inspired to study medicine after recognizing that my interest in traditional medicines including Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Herbalism could help others. 

In 2014, I traveled internationally and experienced first hand a Chikkungunya outbreak and relied on natural medicine to support my health. Upon returning to the US, I began having new symptoms which I later learned were due to neuroinflammation caused the mosquito-borne virus. My experience navigating the conventional health system to find answers lead to frustrations that became my fuel to become a doctor who would go beyond the protocols and algorithms to rebuild health. 

As a Naturopathic Doctor, my passion is providing holistic family medicine and mind body medicine to provide whole person care. I hope to support patients to restore and maintain health utilizing non-invasive techniques including Botanical Medicine, Mind Body Medicine, Hypnotherapy, Physical medicine, Homeopathy and Therapeutic Nutrition. To expand my understanding of pathophysiology beyond the western medical lens, I am studying Traditional East Asian Medicine to expand my paradigm to incorporate how health can be disturbed in a multi-factoral manner. 

I am also passionate about mental health and suicide prevention as I have been directly affected and understand the impact on family and the community.  My goal is to guide patients to strengthen their will to live, explore purpose, and to be empowered in their choices which is why Mind Body Medicine is a fulcrum in my practice. 

I understand that healing takes time and is an individual process. My intention is to be a guide and support to patients along their way as they work to restore and maintain their health.  

Understanding the delicate connection between the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health has been my motivation to support patients to alleviate suffering and pain.  In Naturopathic Medicine, one of our principles is to identify and treat the root cause of disease in order to support the body’s intrinsic ability to re-establish health. Supporting patients to uncover how stress, trauma and their emotions can affect health and wellbeing has propelled me to a heart-centered, holistic approach.
