Dr. Heather has been practicing since 1995. Prior to this she attended National College of Naturopathic Medicine and achieved a naturopathic physicians (ND) degree. The training for an ND is similar to that of a medical doctor. They have 4 years of biological sciences, clinical and physical diagnostic training, and all of the specialties. They have specialty training in homeopathy, nutrition, herbology, pharmacognacy, and pharmacology. During the last 2 years they serve in an externship role working under practicing physicians. This is similar to a medical doctor’s internship role except it is performed in an outpatient facility. Once they graduate they have state level board exams that must be passed, and they have clinical hours that must be met on a yearly basis.

Absolutely. It’s difficult to put a price on your health. But, regardless, when you embark on a program and see your vitality go up and your true enjoyment of life soar, anything you invest, no matter how big or small becomes worth it.

Absolutely. Dr. Heather regularly refers to appropriate physicians and believes that having a treatment team is the best way to support her patients.

Yes. Dr. Heather orders lab work and radiological tests at the local hospitals and the results are sent to her for interpretation and the formulation of appropriate treatment. If you have had lab work already performed, please bring the results to your initial visit.

Laboratory fees are not included in the cost of the visit. They are performed by the lab and they charge a separate fee for their services. Most health insurance plans cover basic labs ordered by the doctor.

The doctor also has a variety of functional and specialty testing that she can order for you that go beyond your basic lab work.

Yes. We offer telehealth visits for residents of Washington State. For your first initial appointment the doctor does prefer to have an in-person visit at our office in Vancouver, Washington to be able to meet you face to face. However we understand that in-person visits are not always possible and we do offer the telehealth option.

Conventional and Naturopathic medicine have some similarities. Both are searching for risk factors for future disease and yearn to help you with your health condition. Both order blood and radiological tests to identify problems and both refer you to other physicians. But that is where the similarities end.

Dr. Heather operates under a different paradigm. She looks at you as a whole person. She takes time to search your history and assess your laboratory findings in order to identify the underlying cause of your condition. She doesn’t focus on the outward symptoms, attempting to cover them up but seeks to enhance your health so your symptoms naturally go away. She also believes that all of your body systems and your bodily symptoms are in the same body and therefore are connected. Her treatment choices are directed toward natural treatments including supplements and lifestyle coaching and she chooses not to use dangerous chemicals in your prescription. Dr. Heather takes time to ensure you understand the steps you need to embark upon in order to achieve the health you desire.

The majority of our recommended supplements can be picked up in our office in Vancouver, Washington, tax free!

We also have an online supplement pharmacy where you can purchase supplements to be directly shipped to you.

The frequency and duration of care will be different for everyone. After your first initial appointment you will typically be scheduled for a follow up visit sometime in the next couple of months in order to go over any lab or test results with the doctor and further evaluate your health needs and goals. Some patients may need more frequent appointments depending on their treatment plan.

Some factors that will influence the healing process are the severity of your condition, how active of a role you are willing to take in your health, your lifestyle and habits, and your commitment to care.
