The goal of my clinic is to restore a person's body to balance and optimal health. This is accomplished by using the constituents of the body, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and neurotransmitters as well as addressing physical and energetic mis-alignments. Success is also achieved by considering as many aspects of a person as possible, or treating the whole person, and not just relieving a set of isolated ailments; the premise behind Naturopathic medicine is to find the root cause of illness and to address health concerns at their very core, rather than focusing solely on symptoms.

Often times people wait until they are diagnosed with a chronic disease before implementing change into their daily routine. I work one-on-one with clients with the intention of preventing chronic disease states, such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other other life-altering diseases through lifestyle. Achieving a healthy weight and a supportive gut are how we can eat to beat disease. An optimal gut plays a major role in preventing disease, regulating hormones, boosting immunity, and more. It's never too late to start living well.

Combining my experience of over 20 years as an Occupational Therapist, along with eleven years now as an Acupuncturist, I bring a compassionate, trauma informed study and hands on body wisdom to your treatment. The utilization of this palpatory approach provides diagnosis as well as an instant measure of treatment effectiveness, which you will realize in real time. Both Western and Traditional Eastern medicine have their respective strengths and weaknesses. It is my belief, when they are appropriately combined, the patient is well served.

I am a non-diet Registered Dietitian and a gut health expert practicing from a weight-inclusive approach. I help my clients find relief from digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Disease (IBS), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Gastroparesis, Colitis, and GERD. I have also designed techniques and programs to empower chronic dieters, disordered eaters, and those in eating disorder recovery to mend their relationship with food and their bodies. My goal is to empower you to choose dietary interventions for the pursuit of health and wellness instead of using diets to manipulate your body for thinness.

In order to help my patients, I need to know their story. Health problems don't start the first time that a person has a pain, or the first night of insomnia. They started well before that first bout. For example, the problem started long before one develops IBS: IBS is a symptom of the problem. That is why it is so important to take a full history--not just current things but things that may have begun in childhood. So what I do is to listen and ask questions and listen. Once we are both satisfied, we can develop a plan--the goal of which is to help you reach YOUR best state of health.

Nicknamed as "The Magic Hands" by my patients, I am a Christian acupuncturist who has been blessed by the LORD with healing talents. I was trained by both Chinese masters in Hong Kong and the United States. I am the only practitioner who combines acupuncture, stress management, meridians body work, floral tea, and oriental diet in each patient visit. Chinese physical medicine from my grandmother allows me to enjoy great success rates in treating pain. I discharged a patient with neck pain after only one visit, and another patient experiences no more back pain and restless legs after 3 treatments.

With over 40 years of practice experience, I have the expertise to help patients with a wide variety of complex nutritional problems. In addition to being a R.D., C.D.N, with a Ph.D. and M.P.H., I am a Board Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (IFMCP) through the Institute for Functional Medicine. I look at the total person when doing the patient's nutritional assessment and evaluation. At our center, our highly respected team of health practitioners works closely together with each patient to develop the most effective individualized/personalized treatment plan.

Dr. Peter Zilahy has been practicing complementary medicine for the past 30 years. He has an extensive knowledge in functional neurology and medicine along with acupuncture and clinical nutrition. Dr. Zilahy prides himself in being “ahead of the curve” when it comes to natural methods. For example, in the early eighties he was advising patients to stay away from transfatty acids and lowering cholesterol when a cholesterol reading of 300 was normal. In 1989 he was one of the first practioners in the state to implement an exercise center for spinal conditions when the standard of care was bedrest.

Have you been there, done that, tried everything and still not feeling better? Perhaps you went on a diet, lost significant weight, only to stagnate, and watch in disbelief as it all crept back with a little more. Maybe you are at your ideal weight, look great on the outside, but struggle with digestive, endocrine, and mental health challenges that defy conventional interventions when you are lucky enough to receive a proper diagnosis. Do you struggle maintaining a healthy cholesterol or blood sugar balance? Are you tired of trying to navigate through conflicting and continually changing guidelines?

Dr. Robin Russell has been specializing in Pediatrics and Women's Health for over 13 years. Dr. Russell's experience in Primary Care Pediatrics while practicing in Washington state provides a great background for the acute and chronic disease she currently specializes in. Dr. Russell's treatment approach centers around identifying the cause of her patients symptoms/disease. Her approach in identifying the cause of a patient's symptoms includes a comprehensive history intake and may also include blood work, food allergy testing, or other specialized testing depending on the symptoms/disease.

As a dietitian, I educate, empower and give you the tools needed to create new eating habits, and promote positive lifestyle changes that are sustainable and realistic. With a client centered approach, I provide individualized nutrition counseling people of all ages. There is no “one size fits all” solution when it comes to achieving health.

My goal as a practitioner is to give each patient the skills necessary to make healthy lifestyle choices; while supporting them on their journey to optimal wellness.

Almost any condition can be successfully treated with acupuncture because the goal is to correct the imbalances that are the underlying cause of the patient's symptoms. I find acupuncture is particularly beneficial for those with any type of pain: headaches, back pain, muscle, joint and nerve pain. It is also helpful for those with endocrine/hormonal issues, PMS, irregular periods, menopausal symptoms, digestive issues, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Also: anxiety, insomnia; high blood pressure, stress management, chronic fatigue. People with colds, sore throats, asthma, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, and dermatitis can also find relief with acupuncture.

I bring 20 years of shiatsu therapy and an in-depth knowledge of the meridian system to my practice. My approach to healing is multidimensional - addressing the body, mind and spirit. My goal is to provide the highest quality acupuncture treatment in a healing sanctuary where people feel cared for and supported; rebuilding strength where there is pain, restoring balance where there is stress and disharmony. Whether you are at the beginning of your healing process, or have explored other modalities, I will help you with your personalized treatment program. This co-creative relationship enhances the process and ensures the best outcome.
