Nathan Horek, ND
Thoughtful, empathic support for people living with chronic illness, pain or long-term overwhelm.
The Heart of Quiet Medicine
I help people whose bodies have been through a lot — when symptoms linger, shift, or leave you feeling drained and worn down.
Sometimes this comes from illness or medical care; other times it’s the result of carrying too much for too long, in a life that hasn’t given you space to rest.
Quiet Medicine is built on the idea that healing doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from doing what matters.
I help you sort through the noise, slow down the pace, and focus on the pieces that are truly supportive—one step at a time.
If you’re looking for steadiness, safety, and a place where your system can begin to reset, you’re in the right spot.
I offer calming, mindfulness-based hands-on treatments and integrative medicine support for people carrying the weight of chronic illness, medical experiences, long-term stress, or trauma that the body hasn’t been able to fully process.
My work is slow, focused, and intentional — a space where your body can settle, soften, and be heard without the pressure of explaining, deciding, or pushing through.
This is how we heal.
Calm the Body, Quiet the Noise
Quiet Medicine centers on gentle, hands-on craniosacral therapy — a quiet, restorative way of supporting the nervous system when it’s been through too much for too long. The work is slow, focused, and unhurried, giving your system space to soften, unwind tension, and find steadiness again. When it’s helpful, I offer simple, strategic naturopathic guidance — nothing rushed or overwhelming, only what feels supportive for where you are.
What I Offer
I offer calming, hands-on craniosacral therapy in spacious 60-, 75-, or 90-minute sessions. Most of our time together is spent on the table, with a brief check-in at the start of each visit.
Over time, when it feels supportive, I may offer simple, strategic naturopathic guidance — never a long protocol or anything overwhelming. This work stays slow, gentle, and paced with what your body can genuinely hold.
In a world full of noise—information, opinions, endless things to try—I offer something different: clarity over quantity, focus over overwhelm, and guidance that arrives only when it’s truly helpful. You won’t leave with long lists or complicated plans. We choose what matters, and we choose it slowly.
Who I Work With
I work with people whose bodies have been carrying a lot — chronic illness, lingering or confusing symptoms, difficult medical experiences, long-term stress, or trauma the body hasn’t had room to process. Many come to me overwhelmed — by symptoms, by the medical system, or simply needing a place where their nerves can settle down. Quiet Medicine offers a calm place to land — one that meets you where you are and moves at a gentle, sustainable pace.
About Nathan Horek, ND
I am a naturopathic doctor in Saint Paul, MN with a practice centered on slow, hands-on craniosacral therapy. I’m trained in naturopathic medicine, chronic illness support, mindfulness-based therapies, and gentle, trauma-informed approaches that honor the pace of sensitive nervous systems.
My background includes private clinical practice and research in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Minnesota, as well as additional training in Craniosacral Therapy, the Perrin Technique, Hakomi, Motivational Interviewing, massage, and homeopathy. I also volunteer at Sholom Hospice, providing bereavement and end-of-life support — work that continues to shape my commitment to presence, patience, and deep listening.
Alongside my clinical training, I have lived with complex chronic illness for over a decade. This experience profoundly informs how I practice: with spaciousness, respect for pacing, and an understanding that healing requires safety, clarity, and time. It’s why Quiet Medicine unfolds at a slower rhythm — one that allows care to remain attuned, grounded, and sustainable for both of us.
I offer care that is steady, intentional, and centered on what your system can truly hold. Whether you’re navigating chronic symptoms, autonomic imbalance, or the long-term effects of stress or medical treatment, you’ll be met with gentleness, honesty, and support that grows at your body’s pace.
