Where and how it all began…
Soleil was founded in 2020 by Dr. Lyndsey Maher, a Connecticut-licensed naturopathic doctor. It is currently directed by both she and her cousin, nurse practitioner, Christina Lakomski.
As co-directors, they created Soleil to provide holistic, preventative care and empower patients to take charge of their own health.
During the pandemic, Dr. Maher observed a significant gap in preventative and integrative medicine as conventional healthcare systems focused on urgent care. Recognizing that many patients were being overlooked, she envisioned a proactive approach that prioritizes naturopathic medicine, functional health, and personalized care.
Soleil was born out of the desire to address the root causes of health concerns while supporting patients with compassionate empowering care.
It’s a family affair…with flare.
What began as a clinic offering only IV nutrient therapy, acupuncture, and naturopathic medicine, has grown into the ultimate integrative healing center, providing a full spectrum of personalized care. In 2024, Soleil welcomed several talented providers to further expand its services.
