about Us
Naturally Sue Wellness was born in 2015 when I completed Naturopathic Medical school. With the help of an outstanding office manager, we built this business from the ground up. We have Dr. Sparks, a fellow classmate from SCNM, who has been seeing patients in my virtual practice to serve as an extension of myself. Alongside her ND degree, Dr. Sparks is also an acupuncturist and has a Masters in Chinese Medicine. This brings even more depth to the practice. Another recent addition I am thrilled about is Dr. Singh; an ND and Ayurvedic practitioner. I couldn’t be happier with this team of incredible women who are all working together to bring you the best patient experience, the natural way.
Naturally Sue Wellness hosts corporate wellness events and teaches virtual workshops.
MEET THE team
Dr. Susan Cucchiara N.D.
Do you feel like you are constantly searching? Searching for a better idea of who you are? Searching for what sets your soul on fire? For how to heal; mentally, physically, and spiritually? I understand you, because my journey has been just that.
The search is a lifelong mission and as we follow our intuition, our health and aspects of our lives begin to fall into place. From advertising executive in NYC to now a Naturopathic Doctor in LA, I clearly have never stopped searching for what I can do in this world that allows me to give back to humanity, as well as dig deep within myself to heal myself, and those around me.
Transitioning from NYC to AZ, to pursue an education as a Naturopathic Doctor, from a career in advertising was nothing less than daunting. It was however the best decision I have made in my life and have zero regrets. It has helped me find the root cause of my health issues which I continue to work on each and every day.
It is through my own hardships in health and past trauma, that I have been able to help the patients who end up in my care.
The patients that land on my schedule are those who are truth seekers, know there is a better way to heal than conventional medicine and love that I can relate to them, as a human, just as they are. A human who understands hardship and helps others rise above.

Megan - Office Manager
Hi, my name is Megan and I am the office manager at Naturally Sue Wellness. I have been working for Dr. Susan since September 2016. My introduction to the Naturopathic Medicine field began when I met Dr. Susan in pre-med courses before she attended SCNM, the Naturopathic Medical school in Temple, Arizona. We had an instant connection, which only made my decision in helping run her practice that much easier. I get such joy talking to all of the patients and potential patients and being the “voice” of the practice. I feel it is essential to be working with Naturopathic doctors to keep healthy, especially in the realm of prevention, so the devastating effects of lifestyle diseases can be avoided.
A couple of packages that I would always recommend to the patients of Naturally Sue Wellness are the Basic Supplement starter kit and the Allure Cleanse, because I personally use them and have seen great benefits. The supplements in the basic starter kit give me a boost of energy and keep me stable throughout the day, which is very important to me as I speak to patients. I also loved doing the Allure cleanse, because I noticed a substantial difference in how I felt when I completed the program. It has helped me to keep up positive habits I developed while doing that cleanse. If you call the office, I look forward to chatting with you about how we can help you at Naturally Sue Wellness.
Dr.Singh - Naturopathic Doctor and Ayurvedic Practitioner
Dr.Singh is a Naturopathic Doctor and Ayurvedic Practitioner. She specializes in Women’s Health, Fertility and Pediatrics. She spent the majority of her training in becoming an expert for all things hormones and autism. Allowing her to better help women with fertility, menopause, PCOS and all the other hormone driven diseases that tend to throw curveballs into the lives of beautiful women. She trained to become what she wishes she would have had as a patient when she needed a Doctor who treated the root cause and not just her symptoms.
Dr.Singh found Naturopathic Medicine after leaving her path to become an MD. She was completing her second year of allopathic medical school when she realized that with allopathic medicine, she was not going to truly heal women and children. It was a medicine she would recommend if someone was an accident but never for lifestyle diseases, which nearly 90% of diseases are. She grew up with a grandfather who was an Ayurvedic Doctor. She knew that real curative medicine was more than what she was learning and therefore changed course. Which ultimately helped shape her into the best type of doctor she could have imagined becoming.
Into the type of Doctor, she would want for herself and for her children.
Shortly after leaving allopathic medical school, she managed two pediatric offices in South Carolina, where her husband was stationed as a Marine. She saw an endless amount of children coming in for ADHD and autism and walking out with Ritalin and Adderall prescriptions. And then saw the same children coming back without little to no improvement. She knew she had to do something and go back to school because she was meant to help children. A year later she found Naturopathic Medicine and began on the journey she knew God had always planned for her.
Dr.Singh is a graduate of a top accredited Naturopathic Medical School, Bastyr University. During her medical training, she completed clinical research with botanical medicine at UCSD. She later became a published author on PubMed for her work with Ayurvedic herbs, their effects on the gut microbiota, and the HPA axis. She focuses on treating the entire person by using functional medicine with Ayurvedic wisdom.
