In our practice, we value:
Your individual journey
We believe in taking our time to get to know our patients rather than just providing quick prescriptions for their skin. We actively work with our patients and value their role in healing as well as respecting their knowledge of their own bodies.
Empowering you with knowledge
We believe every person deserves to feel confident, beautiful, and loved. It is important to us that our patients leave our visits feeling empowered with the knowledge and tools to heal.
A holistic approach for you
We believe in a holistic approach that addresses the connection between our patient’s whole being- mind, body, spirit, and soul, and how nurturing each of these areas can heal the greater whole.
Meet Dr. Ashley Dumont
CEO, Medical Director, and Naturopathic Physician
I started my practice to help people like you because I was someone like you.
I struggled with acne for years that never resolved with the many rounds of antibiotics I underwent. As my skin worsened, so did my confidence as I projected my negative self-image. I knew there had to be a better path, which fortunately led me to naturopathic medicine. It wasn’t until I began to understand and implement the connection between nutrition and my skin’s health that I actually began to heal and truly love myself in my own skin.
I practice naturopathic medicine because I don’t want you to struggle like I did.
I am here to support you and be a constant reminder that you can heal. My goal is to help you heal not only your skin, but your mind-body relationship to create a sense of confidence and self-love that will carry you through every aspect of your life.

More Than Medicine
I am a New England Prep born and raised. I may be biased, but we are blessed to live in the most beautiful area in the country.
Although I have lived in many other places, New England is, and always will be home. The New England coast is my happy place, where I spent almost every weekend with my grandmother and family growing up, where I attended my undergraduate education, where my husband and I tied the knot, and where I have come home to start my own family. You can find me spending the day along the coast, breathing in the salty ocean air with my husband and our 7lb chihuahua, Winnie, and connecting with Mother Nature in the most serene atmosphere.
My Education and Experience
For my undergraduate education, I attended the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine and received my Bachelors of Science in Medical Biology and Minor in Sociology.
I then attended medical school at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon where I received my Nutritional IV Therapy training and worked as a primary intern mostly on Dermatology and Minor Surgery shifts. I then spent some time working alongside two Integrative Dermatologists in Sacramento, CA, leading integrative skin science clinical research studies, buidling out an integrative dermatology clinic, and running the natural medicine unit, but knew I was called to serve my local community at home and practice along the seacoast.

Meet Dr. Yonah Bottrill
Naturopathic Physician
I received my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor of Science from the University of Maryland.
While I always knew I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, it was after my own personal experience with naturopathic medicine that I became passionate about the body’s innate ability to heal and treat the person as a whole.
A native New Yorker, I moved all around the country with my husband and children with the United States Navy. We finally were able to settle down on the Seacoast, and have called it home for the last 14 years.
My clinical interests include Gastrointestinal dysfunction (IBS, SIBO, SIFO), women’s health (hormonal health, peri/menopause, hormone replacement therapy), autoimmune disorders (Celiac, Ehler’s Danlos, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and more.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my husband, our 4 children & 3 dogs. I am an avid gardener, love to cook, run, and be outdoors as much as possible.
I work with patients of all ages, using an integrative approach in my treatments!
Commonly Asked Questions
Naturopathic doctors are trained medical doctors that undergo 4 years of graduate training at an accredited program and require an undergraduate degree and courses in the health sciences. The coursework for naturopathic doctors covers anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and organ-system based medicine along with pharmacology, herbal medicine, lifestyle medicine, IV nutrient therapy, vitamin injections, and more. Naturopathic doctors are trained clinically as Primary Care Physicians, but can, and often do, practice within a particular niche area of medicine. Our area of focus includes holistic skin health, dermatology, digestive, hormone balance, anti-aging, weight loss, and overall wellness. For state licensure, naturopathic doctors have to take and pass two licensing exams as well as up to 4 additional elective exams depending on the state’s requirements.
Although we are trained as Primary Care Doctors, we are considered specialists in New Hampshire, and work adjunctively with a patient’s primary care doctor. We ask all of our patients to have established care with a primary care doctor to undergo yearly health check-ups and other important health maintenance screenings and services.
We do not take insurance which allows us to treat my patients holistically with effective natural medicine modalities, and provide access to a broader range of patients. If your insurance providers grant you access to a HSA or FSA account, those funds can be used towards all visits, specialty tests, and treatments at Coastal Thyme.
Although our practice name is holistic skin + wellness, (and love treating acne, eczema, and other skin concerns, naturally) we treat way more than the skin! Some common health concerns we treat include hair loss and hair thinning, digestive and gut health issues like irritable bowel syndrome, SIBO, gut yeast overgrowth, candida, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, fertility support, anti-aging, hormone imbalances like PCOS and post-menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and weight gain, mensural cycle irregularities, sleep disturbances, insomnia, fatigue, and more!

Absolutely, we love treating kiddos! Commonly, we see rashes like eczema, food sensitivities, and gut issues like diarrhea in our pediatric patients. We recommend that our patients have a Pediatrician as part of their healthcare team when working with us as we are not Primary Care Providers. We see and treat a wide range of patients from pediatrics to teenagers dealing with acne, young adults dealing with mensural cycle issues, and women who are post-menopausal seeking bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Yes, we do!
