Rooted In Your Well Being
Our mission is to partner with our patients to understand and facilitate their body’s own natural mechanisms for healing. The team of doctors and staff at Federal Way Naturopathy is dedicated to patient care that is reliable, affordable and attainable.
We represent these tenets in our practice:
As naturopathic physicians, we are trained in the art and science of disease prevention, medical diagnosis, and treatment using minimally invasive natural therapies. Our focus is to facilitate the body’s own natural mechanisms for healing using modalities such as homeopathy, cranial sacral therapy, botanical medicine, counseling, and nutrition.
We will perform a detailed patient history, appropriate physical exams, and order lab tests as necessary. Our patients are of all ages and backgrounds. We spend one hour of time getting to know them and their history at the first office visit, and 30 to 40 minutes for follow- up visits as needed.
We bring a warm compassionate presence to our healing work, with the goal to relieve suffering, prevent future disease and empower patients to be confident in their own self-care.
We welcome patients of all ethnicities, sexual preferences, and gender identifications.
Homeopathy is a natural, nontoxic therapeutic system of healing that assists in the inherent ability of the body to heal itself. Homeopathic medicines or remedies use minute amounts of plant, mineral or animal substances to stimulate a person’s innate healing ability and to strengthen the entire system.
Homeopathic remedies are particularly effective for depression, anxiety, allergies, infections, gynecological concerns, skin conditions, digestive tr practice: problems, and a variety of chronic and acute conditions including colds and flu. Initial appointments in homeopathic team care are 1 3/4 hours and follow-up appointments are one hour. You might be referred to homeopathy from your naturopathic care team, but you can also self-refer.
Cranial Sacral Therapy is a subtle, but profound hands-on therapy. It balances the entire body/mind system by identifying and releasing acute or chronic holding patterns in the connective tissue. It is a great modality for releasing trauma/ stress/ and pain for any and all human ailments.
Used to identify specific allergens to guide a patient’s treatment plan. Skin prick testing for IgE reactions to 57 environmental allergens and 13 foods. Testing is done annually to continue to tailor a patient’s individual treatment. Options for treatment include immunotherapy, herbs, medication, or avoidance. Talk with your doctor for more details.
Botanical Medicine is the use of herbs and/or spices to support the body’s healing process.
ND Counseling is a lifestyle and health oriented counseling time in which doctor and patient have time to discuss obstacles to cure.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, filiform, single-use needles into areas of the body to bring about a healing response in the underlying tissues. There are many ways that acupuncture benefits the body, through its proven ability to increase local blood circulation, relax muscles, regulate the nervous and endocrine systems and, by releasing restrictions in the facia.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized treatment for dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles, addressing issues like incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, constipation, and pain during intercourse. PFPT uses manual techniques, and targeted exercises to strengthen or relax these muscles.
Breast thermography is a non-invasive, radiation-free screening tool that uses an infrared camera to map temperature differences on the breast surface. It identifies “hot spots” caused by increased blood flow and metabolic activity to detect potential abnormalities like inflammation or tumor growth. While FDA-approved as an adjunct (complementary) test for breast cancer screening it is not a replacement for mammography.
IV therapy is a medical technique that delivers fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream through a vein, bypassing the digestive system for rapid, 100% absorption. We offer over three dozen intravenous treatments that are prescribed for various health conditions. These are used to support nutritional status, immune function, hydration, detox, and many other reasons.
Visceral Manipulation is a manual therapy consisting of gentle, specifically placed manual forces that encourage the normal mobility, tone, and inherent tissue motion of the viscera, their connective tissue, and other areas of the body where physiologic motion has been impaired.
