She is committed to helping you achieve your most vibrant health through natural and integrative treatment options.

Naturopathic Doctors are trained in the art and science of health, disease, and healing. Instead of jumping right to symptom suppression with band-aid treatments, Dr. Savannah focuses on uncovering the root causes of her patients' symptoms to restore balance and health. Through Naturopathic medicine she will help to facilitate your healing capacity to move toward greater health. Naturopathic doctors utilize a wide range of modalities to help you resolve your ongoing health issues.

How is a Naturopathic Doctor different from a Medical Doctor?

Naturopathic doctors undergo four or more years of rigorous, science-based academic and clinical training, similar to medical doctors. They stand out by integrating natural and alternative therapies to enhance healing and minimize harm. Naturopathic doctors also recognize the innate healing wisdom within your body—for example, when you get a cut on your arm, and a week later it’s healed without your intervening. By partnering with this inborn healing capacity, Naturopathic doctors support you in moving toward greater health.

The benefits of working with a Naturopathic doctor

  • Personalized treatment plans based on your unique needs

  • Greater time spent with your doctor

  • A root-cause medicine approach instead of symptom suppression

  • A wide variety of treatment options

  • Alternative paths when doctors say "there's nothing more we can do"

  • Empowerment: you actively participate in your health decisions in support of your unique needs and goals

Why would I choose Naturopathic Medicine living in Kirkland?

You want a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique health history, needs, and preferences.

  • Naturopathic doctors look as you as a whole person, not just as a number, a set of symptoms or a problem to solve. Your ND will consider all aspects of your life and how they might impact your health, including genetics, biochemistry, lifestyle factors, and environmental exposures.

You want a deeper understanding of your health issues

  • You want to gain an understanding of the root causes of your health issues. When you go in to see a Naturopathic doctor, together you'll explore the underlying reasons for your health issues. Your symptoms are not the diagnosis; your symptoms are clues to what needs attention and healing. Your Naturopathic doctor will help you put together the puzzle pieces and demystify what's going on with your body

You want more than a few minutes with your doctor

  • Dr. Savannah dedicates 30-90 minutes to each patient, ensuring a thorough understanding of their story and health needs. Taking time to go in-depth into your health allows Dr. Savannah to determine the most appropriate path forward with testing and treatment.

You want to be given a variety of treatment options

  • Naturopathic medicine offers an abundance of treatments, using a tool called The Therapeutic Order. From the most basic, low-force treatments like sunlight and avoiding toxins, to complex higher-force treatments including medications and surgery, all options are on the table in Naturopathic medicine. Dr. Savannah meets her patients where they are at, taking into consideration the patient's values, available resources, and level of disease to determine the safest, most effective, and most aligned treatment path.

You've tried everything or have been told "there's nothing else we can do."

  • Dr. Savannah believes there is always another path. Many patients turn to Naturopathic medicine when they reach a dead end with mainstream or conventional medical care, because Naturopathic doctors think out of the box and routinely offer alternative treatment strategies based on clinical data and experience that hasn't made its way into the standards of care. Dr. Savannah will dig deeper to help you untangle your medical mystery by looking into your nutrition, habits, exposures, traumas, and other factors impacting your state of health. It's never too late, and there are always other options. If this is you, please don't give up hope. Naturopathic medicine can offer you something new.

You want to play an active role in your healing path and have more choice in your treatments.

  • You're tired of feeling like you don’t have influence over your healthcare, or being given a prescription and hearing something along the lines of "this is all we have for you." You want to know how to improve your health, reverse your disease, prevent illness, and receive guidance in the process. While conventional medicine is good at suppressing your symptoms, Naturopathic doctors are trained to teach you how to become well, so that your symptoms actually heal.
