Tulsi Square Naturopathics Medicine and Market (21 Sterlington Commons, Greenport, 631- 268-5818) has leveled up with a recent move to a larger space in Greenport’s Sterlington Square.

Mattituck native Dr. Stephenie Pisacano and partner Dr. Jake Shettell have expanded their hours and their inventory of naturally-made wellness products, from skincare and personal care products to foods and beverages, including herbal teas CBD products and their own botanical formulas.

The pair are both naturopathic doctors trained in both conventional medicine and natural therapies, such as herbal and homeopathic medicine, nutritional counseling, acupuncture and hydrotherapy. Dr. Pisacano is a certified lactation counselor and is a candidate to become a certified functional medicine practitioner, a holistic practice that considers the whole person and how all the body’s systems work together. Dr. Shettell focuses on men’s health, pain, fatigue and mental/emotional health, as well as breast health, and is the creator of HubND, a research platform for doctors and researchers to stay up to date in the field of integrative medicine.

A health journey

While Dr. Pisacano was doing her residency in Manhattan during COVID, “the entire practice went virtual,” she recalls. Cooped up in a small apartment in New York City, she returned to family on the North Fork and worked virtually for two years. Eventually she and Dr. Shettell started their own practice, opening their small office in Feather Hill in Southold in July of 2022.

The doctors offer an individualized, in-depth experience for each patient. Their membership plan model includes a personalized health plan, doctor visits, direct messaging, advanced testing, functional medicine testing and discounts on supplements. Clients can choose to access personalized breast health and fertility care plans or participate on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The practice supports a host of conditions in several categories — pediatric, women’s health, men’s health, autoimmune issues, tick-borne illnesses, gastroenterology, skin/hair, maternity and mind/body — to name a few. A free webinar series, hosted in conjunction with local Dr. Emily Anne McDonald, focuses on perimenopause. More webinars on different topics are slated for the future.

Tulsi Square’s curated market offers a varied selection of wellness products, some from local producers like Sweet Woodland Farms and The Apothecary Girl. Items include natural skin care and dental products, herbal remedies and teas, supplements, books, healthy drinks (including caffeine and alcohol replacement products), toys, castor oil packs, CBD products, and much more. Items can be ordered through their website and picked up at the store.

Dr. Pisacano collaborates with local herbalists to produce her own line of tinctures for a host of conditions — No Sick Days, for example, is made with astragalus, myrrh, osha, echinacea, and holy basil, can be used to boost immunity and counteract stress and fatigue.

Tulsi, or holy basil, is an herb in the mint family that is called “the Queen of the Herbs” in Ayurvedic medicine. It is grown locally and used in many of Dr. Pisacano’s botanical formulas and serves as a fitting name for this holistic business meant to help you optimize your health.

Appointments are available Monday-Wednesday. Check out the market from Monday-Friday 10 a.m.–4 p.m. and Saturday–Sunday 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Learn more at tulsisquare.com and on Instagram @tulsi_naturopathics.
