Naturopathic Medicine
Our doctors are licensed physicians who focus on healing the whole person. Dr. Jenna, Dr. Manda, and Dr. Owen have training in environmental medicine, herbal medicine, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, biofeedback, nutrition, and more to help you heal at a root level.
Neurofeedback and Biofeedback
Neurofeedback trains your brain to use healthier thought pathways while biofeedback is a form of mind-body medicine for learning to recognize how your body responds to stress. That information guides exercises and home practices that will eventually allow you to regulate your stress response to become more manageable. These healing modalities can be used on children and adults to improve mood, reduce anxiety, increase focus, and more.
Sound Therapy
Vibrational Sound Therapy (VST) is a modality that provides deep relaxation using hand-hammered therapeutic Himalayan singing bowls placed on or around the body. When gently activated, the singing bowls create a combination of tones and vibrations. The therapeutic sound wave vibrations soothe the body on a cellular level, open energy flow, release muscular and facia tension, produce a state of tranquility, and provide a “massage” for the nervous system.
Functional Lab Testing
We use a combination of conventional and specialty lab tests to assess health from the inside out.
Craniosacral Therapy and Massage Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle type of bodywork that works to unwind tension patterns in bone, muscles, fascia, and other connective tissues which calms the nervous system and relieves pain and tension. Our massage therapists also practice a variety of techniques such as myofascial release, deep tissue, Maya abdominal massage, prenatal massage, lymphatic drainage, scar and injury treatment, and Swedish relaxation massage.
Wellness Coaching
Our wellness coach helps you learn to nourish your unique body, mind, and spirit through personalized diet and lifestyle guidance. We will support you in achieving your wellness goals by providing compassionate accountability and health strategizing support.

LIFE MEDICINE PLAN
Our Life Medicine annual wellness plan offers compassionate care rooted in holistic health and sustainable solutions. We provide monthly health support tailored to you.
the elm framework
Our ELM (Environment, Lifestyle, Mind) framework looks at your whole health, starting at the roots. We work with you to build a foundation of wellness that supports every aspect of your life.
Environment
We look at how environmental factors, both internal (digestion, detoxification, microbiome, and hormones) and external (exposures and physical surroundings), are impacting your wellness.
Lifestyle
How are your nutrition, sleep quality, water intake, pursuit of joy, and daily movement affecting your health? How can we improve them?
The Mind
This mind is beautifully malleable. Our thoughts majorly dictate our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. We work together to bring your mind more ease.
what to expect
We believe the body always gives us hints and signs about where we are struggling or out of balance. If we pay attention to these signs, we can fast-track our way to the root of symptoms or dis-ease. At Northwest Life Medicine Clinic, we do this daily through detailed questioning, scientific lab testing, physical exams, and compassionate listening.
After booking your first appointment, here’s what to look forward to:
We’ll send you an email confirmation that you can add directly to your preferred calendar.
You’ll be invited to set up an account with our patient portal to fill out your consent and new patient intake forms before your visit. This portal also gives you fast and easy communication with your care team, access to labs and imaging, and the ability to order refills of any supplements.
We’ll email and text you a couple of days before your appointment to confirm the date and time.
When you arrive for your appointment, we’ll get you checked in—after that, you get to sit back, enjoy a glass of water or a cup of house-formulated tea, and flip through a magazine while you wait for your practitioner to greet you for your visit.
Symptom Finder Tool
Use our Symptom Finder Tool to see our approach to treating everything from joint pain to hormone issues.
Often, what we find is that the deep, underlying cause of MOST symptoms and disease consists of one or more of the following:
Poor foundations of health (food, water, sleep, movement)
High stress levels (past or present) and the need for compassionate mental/emotional support
Inflammation and imbalance in the gut
Toxin overload (mold, chemicals, heavy metals) and the need to detox
Structural restrictions within the body that prevent proper organ, muscle, bone, or joint function and reduce the flow of essential fluids that carry nutrients to our cells and waste out of our bodies
Chronic infections (viral, fungal, bacterial) that are draining or over-activating the immune system
Kind words from our patients
