Naturopaths Beginning With F in Washington

I love working with patients via telemedicine (or globally via tele-education) and in-person in Los Angeles and Seattle. While I am trained and capable as a Primary Care doctor, I have expertise in the following areas: neurodegenerative conditions (Parkinson’s, MS, Alzheimer's), Environmental Medicine (Heavy metals, molds), digestive wellness (SIBO, IBS, etc.), men’s health and hormones, chronic infections, inflammation and fatigue (long COVID, allergies, autoimmune).

My ideal client is ready to explore all treatment options, conventional and holistic. They are open, curious, and motivated. They are ready to build a therapeutic alliance.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life with a variety of health concerns. Our goal is to identify the root of dysfunction and empower the individual to take ownership of their health moving toward wellness. It is exciting to work with people who have questions, have done personal research, and are curious about how best to establish a foundation of health in their lives.

A 1992 Bastyr University grad, Dr Forwell offers a wealth of experience from her 29 years in naturopathic primary care. She is a pioneer of Regenerative Injection Therapies employed to treat pain from injury & overuse. Chronic sprains & strains, osteoarthritis etc are treated with these needling techniques referred to as Prolotherapy, PRP and embryonic Stem Cells as well as Mesotherapy & Neural Therapy. She was a founding board member & instructor at the Naturopathic Academy of Therapeutic Injections, has advanced training from the American Association of Orthopaedic Medicine & conducts doctor training courses around the country.

Part of the joy I receive from being a physician is meeting people where they are in their health-care journey. Working with you as an individual with a unique history, getting to know your story and what your goals are for yourself is incredibly important. This is treating the whole person. You are not your symptoms or your diagnosis. I view our work together as a partnership: whether you need a cheerleader, someone to hold you accountable or hold space for you to process, I trust the inherent wisdom of your body and your lived experience.
