About ThriveWell Pediatrics
ThriveWell Pediatrics represents the vision and dedication of Dr. Valerie Miles, MD, FAAP, DABOIM, a pioneering physician who has transformed pediatric care through her innovative approach to integrative medicine. As a Clemson graduate who earned her medical degree at MUSC and completed her pediatric training at the University of Utah, Dr. Miles has been board-certified in pediatrics since 1995 and became one of the first physicians in the United States to achieve board certification in Integrative Medicine in December 2000.
Dr. Miles' journey into holistic medicine began during her early practice in Durango, Colorado, where she discovered the powerful potential of combining modern medical expertise with traditional healing arts. This revelation sparked a passion that would define her career and ultimately lead her to establish Northeast Florida's first direct care practice for children in August 2000.
For over two decades, Dr. Miles has owned and operated her pediatric practices with an unwavering commitment to helping families not just get well, but stay well through personalized, holistic care. Her practice philosophy centers on creating calm, extended doctor-only visits where every question is truly heard and answered, and where accessibility isn't a luxury but a standard of care.
Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Miles is a respected educator who actively shares her expertise in Integrative Pediatrics and Nutrition with audiences throughout North America, empowering other healthcare providers and families with knowledge that bridges conventional and holistic approaches to children's health.
Thrivewell Pediatrics stands as a testament to what's possible when a woman physician follows her vision to create meaningful change in healthcare—offering families a sanctuary where modern medicine and holistic healing unite to support children's optimal health and well-being.
About the ThriveWell Pediatrician Effect
This comprehensive course bridges the gap between conventional pediatric medicine and evidence-based integrative approaches, designed specifically for busy physicians navigating the growing demand for natural remedies in their practice.
Dr. Valerie Miles delivers expert guidance that cuts through online confusion and overwhelming information, providing healthcare professionals with the confidence to address the holistic questions parents increasingly bring to appointments.
The curriculum transforms how physicians approach common pediatric challenges across four essential domains: foundational health principles, gut health management, immune system support, and mental health interventions. Participants explore practical, evidence-based strategies for conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, eczema, digestive issues, and sleep disorders, while developing a root-cause mindset that enhances traditional treatment protocols.
Rather than overwhelming participants with theory, the content delivers actionable tools and approaches that can be immediately integrated into existing practice workflows. The course addresses the growing gap between what parents research online and what physicians feel equipped to discuss, empowering healthcare providers to confidently guide families toward safe, effective integrative solutions.
Designed for doctors who are "cautious but curious" about natural remedies, this accredited activity provides the evidence-based foundation needed to expand treatment options while maintaining clinical rigor.
