The brand’s signature health centers offer wellnessor­iented services.

Naturopath­ica, once a hippie spa shack with a cult following in East Hampton, is becoming a full-fledged brand in the mainstream wellness market and its latest stop is Madison Avenue.

The brand has opened a third location of its signature health centers at 667 Madison Avenue. The space is home to Naturopath­ica’s wellness-oriented services, including its signature herbal remedy consultati­ons, massage therapy and facials.

The space consists of two levels, each 1,000-square feet, with treatment rooms downstairs, and space for community
