I am Erika Krumbeck – pediatric naturopathic physician, Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Pediatrics, and founder of Naturopathic Pediatrics PRO. Since 2013 I have served families in Missoula, Montana, practicing integrative primary care grounded in both compassion and scientific rigor. I have walked alongside parents, collaborated with a broad spectrum of healthcare professionals, and asked the questions that modern medicine too often forgets to ask: how do we truly support the health of a child – body, mind and spirit?
I built this platform for providers like you – those who want to offer natural, evidence-based therapies with the same confidence and precision as any conventional protocol. Inside you will find clinical tools, treatment guides, and pediatric protocols that are designed not just to educate, but to equip you in real-world practice.
Every resource here is grounded in research. Every guide is made to be used – not just read. This is pediatric integrative medicine, streamlined and strengthened for integrative clinicians who want to do more than keep up – they want to lead.
Welcome to Naturopathic Pediatrics PRO.
