With the opening of
Trillium Natural Medicine in
Dormont, Pittsburghers have new options in health care and wellness.
Located at 3043 West Liberty Ave., the 1,000 square-foot practice features treatment and consultation rooms where Dr. Maureen Tighe offers naturopathic medicine consultations, acupuncture, cleanse programs, and natural fertility services.
After earning a Doctorate in Oriental Medicine at the
National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, Tighe returned home to Pittsburgh. “I was fortunate to find a true gem of a space in Dormont and saw that I could create a medical practice in a sanctuary-type setting, which is what I’ve always envisioned,” says Tighe, a
Mt. Lebanon native whose father is from Dormont.
Tighe relocated from a city with 500
naturopathic doctors to a city with only six where she is the only ND who offers acupuncture. “People in Pittsburgh are very supportive of the natural approach to health. It’s exciting to return with a skill set that is unique in this area,” says Tighe.
Trillium is located within a beautifully restored property owned by Mark Johnson, who ran the Daguerreian Gallery. Tighe worked with Mt. Lebanon-based designer Chrissy Senko to decorate and furnish the center. In the practice’s busy first month, Tighe has treated patients from as far away as Gibsonia and Latrobe.
