Sleep isn’t just about rest and recovery. It’s your body’s way of healing, restoring, and protecting you. When it’s disrupted, everything suffers. If you’re tossing and turning, waking up exhausted, or feeling like you’re running on empty no matter how early you go to bed, then you are losing health every day. There’s a reason behind it, and I can help you find it. I consider sleep to be “Job 1” with new patients, no matter what else is going on.
As a holistic doctor with decades of experience, I specialize in uncovering the root causes of sleep disruption and helping you heal deeply and naturally. A good night’s sleep is the minimum you deserve, isn’t it?
Let’s Get You Sleeping Again
Sleep isn’t just about rest — it’s your body’s way of healing, restoring, and protecting you. When it’s disrupted, everything suffers. If you’re tossing and turning, waking up exhausted, or feeling like you’re running on empty no matter how early you go to bed, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. There’s a reason behind it — and I can help you find it.

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
- You lie in bed exhausted but can’t fall asleep.
- You wake up in the middle of the night, wired, anxious and restless.
- You wake too early, and can’t get back to sleep.
- You sleep through the night, but never feel truly rested.
- You’ve been told you may have sleep apnea — or feel like your body just isn’t syncing with sleep.
These aren’t random symptoms. They’re signals your body is out of balance. And they’re treatable. I’ll do more than just suggest you relax a little.
Why You’re Not Sleeping — and What We Can Do About It
Sleep is regulated by a delicate balance of hormones, neurotransmitters, blood sugar rhythms, and even your gut health. When one of these systems is off, your sleep suffers.
Rather than masking symptoms with medication, I dig deeper. I use advanced testing to understand exactly what your body is asking for, then build a personalized path to restore your sleep from the inside out. The physical and physiological body, the emotional body, the mental body and the spiritual body all want sleep. Just sometimes their cries for help can feel like the total opposite of that!
We Start with Answers
I use comprehensive lab testing to identify imbalances that are often missed:
- Cortisol and adrenal rhythm
- Estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones
- Neurotransmitter levels
- Gut microbiome and inflammation
- Blood sugar and insulin dynamics
This gives us a clear map of what’s happening in your body — and how to bring it back into harmony.
Healing That Respects Your Body
My approach is gentle, strategic, and personalized. We may use plant-based support to rebalance sleep cycles, targeted nutrients to repair stress pathways, and practical shifts in diet and routine that truly move the needle.
Everything I recommend is rooted in research, compassion, and a deep respect for your body’s wisdom.
I was experiencing a ton of physical and emotional issues after going through treatment for breast cancer, and Dr. Mayfield was my lifeline during this time. She diagnosed and addressed some issues that I didn’t even realize I was having, and as a result, I’m feeling 90% better. It’s impossible to overemphasize how she has helped me to have a good, happy, productive and satisfying quality of life again — my hormones are beginning to stabilize, my emotional ups and downs are beginning to even out, my sleep is better and my energy is coming back. Thank you SO much, Dr. Mayfield!

After successful treatment for breast cancer (chemotherapy, surgery, radiation) in 2018, my oncologist prescribed Tamoxifen. This is a very difficult drug to take as it causes severe hot flashes and sleeplessness. After a year of suffering through both, I found Dr. Mayfield. As it turns out, she was familiar with the nutritionist I was using. By changing the order of my supplements, adding a few additional ones as well as homeopathic remedies, she calmed and cooled my body. I now sleep through the night and have a few minor hot flashes. This has been absolutely life-changing for me!
Dr. Mayfield is a kind and knowledgeable practitioner who has given me my life and my sanity back! She is amazing.

Your Nervous System Matters, Too
Sleep isn’t just physical — it’s emotional and energetic. Many of the patients I work with carry invisible burdens: anxiety, burnout, unresolved grief, perfectionism, or simply the weight of caring for everyone else and not themselves.
Part of your healing will include calming your nervous system, restoring your sense of safety, and reconnecting to your own rhythms. This might look like breathwork, boundaries, mindfulness — or simply giving yourself permission to rest.
The Art of Healing
Sleep is the most nurturing thing you can do for yourself. Are you putting it at a high priority?
If your mind won’t shut off, you might not be trusting life enough. Do you have strong inner support in order to Trust in the Process of Life?
Consider meditation, prayer, contemplation or deep breathing to find that point of Trust and letting go to still the mind before bedtime.
The Science of Healing
Often a full panel of hormone and adrenal function testing as well as neurotransmitters gives the best overview of physiological sleep issues.
Do not eat or drink anything stimulating such as coffee, soft drinks or chocolate after 3 pm.
Stop all electronics at least 2 hours before your bedtime.
Make your room dark and cool to produce more melatonin.
Check your GI tract. If you aren’t making enough serotonin in the gut, you won’t have enough melatonin to sleep well.
I feel great now thanks to Dr. Robin. She has treated my depression, anxiety, fibro-cystic breast, migraines, fatigue, bloating, restless sleep, etc. After only 4 and a half months of treatment, I am off all prescription medications except a mild allergy pill. Prior to seeing Dr. Robin, I was seeing an OB, a neurologists, a surgeon and an oncologists (for precancerous breast tissue) and their solutions were to give me a prescription, order more tests, or “cut it out and see what that shows us.” Tests revealed nothing, and each medication only addressed symptoms, never the problem. Before accepting the medications I did research and tried alternatives to medications, i.e. exercise, meditation, eating well, but it was never enough. After meeting with Dr. Robin it was clear to her what the problem might be and the tests she ordered only confirmed her suspicions. I am 52 yo and have never had a candida test done before, nor had anyone ever tested my neurotransmitter levels. My goal after seeing Dr. Robin was to achieve an overall sense of well-being and I feel like I now have that. I hate that insurance will not pay for these treatments. Think of the money I am saving my insurance company! But it is worth every penny. So much so that my husband and I are e now paying Dr. Robin to treat my daughter. Thanks Dr. Robin.*
