How does a personalized wellness plan work?

Every plan is tailored specifically to your needs. After an in-depth evaluation, we create a program that focuses on essential wellness principles like hormone balance, gut healing, nutrition, movement, emotional wellness, and mentorship. This collaborative and integrative approach ensures truly personalized care.

What makes naturopathy and functional medicine different?

Unlike conventional medicine, which often targets symptoms, naturopathy and functional medicine aim to uncover the root causes of health issues. These disciplines prioritize holistic healing, blending natural and modern treatments for long-term wellness.

Can we work together remotely?

Absolutely! We serve clients both in-person and virtually. For virtual appointments, we can easily ship lab kits and supplements, and visits can be done via Zoom or phone.

Can you prescribe medications?

Yes, we can prescribe pharmaceuticals if you’re located in Washington. However, our primary focus is on natural and integrative solutions.

Can you be my primary care provider (PCP)?

No, we do not act as primary care providers. While we focus on optimizing your health and building resilience, you’ll still need to partner with a PCP for annual checkups and urgent care.

Fatigue and Low Energy

Why do I always feel so drained of energy?

Chronic fatigue can stem from many factors like nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or adrenal dysfunction. We work to uncover the root causes and develop personalized plans to restore your energy.
