Naturopaths near Seattle, WA

My ideal patient is anyone who is looking to optimize their overall health, slow their aging and live up to their full potential. My goal as a practitioner is to treat each individual as a whole person, and not just a list of symptoms. As a society, medicine has broken up people into different parts and systems, all treated by doctors with different specialities. In practice, I truly work to see the whole picture and how all of these systems are interconnected producing an individual's current health concerns. I work with each patient to find the root cause of their illness and treat this cause.

Have you struggled with health issues, sought treatment, and still aren't any better? Have you been told, "Sorry, you're labs are normal there's nothing else we can do for you"? Do you wish your doctor would actually listen to what you have to say and that they'd offer you treatments that would address the underlying cause of the problem rather than just 'band-aids'? Well, you're in luck! I pride myself in listening to what YOU have to say, treating the root cause of the problem, and providing exceptional healthcare.

A Naturopathic Physician and Licensed Acupuncturist, Dr. Nina listens to your story to gain deep understanding of the whole picture of your health and focus on your priorities.

Each patient is an individual and as such, requires treatments that are customized for them. Especially in chronic disease, which is where naturopathic medicine and acupuncture help greatly, taking one magic pill or supplement will not resolve symptoms. Success depends greatly on recognizing what dietary changes, behavioral therapies, and lifestyle modifications the patient is willing to try in order to achieve overall health. I work collaboratively with people to not only identify what is causing their symptoms, but more importantly, identify what roadblocks are preventing them from achieving wellness and explore what treatments they want to try.
