About FWN

Our Role in the Community

Federal Way Naturopathy has become the model alternative care providers hope to mirror.

The health care community looks to our physicians as a first resource for guidance in restoring their patients to optimal health and well being. Our doctors and staff have been instructors at Bastyr University and have presented at the AANP (American Association of Naturopathic Physicians) and WANP (Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians) conferences.

FWN is recognized as a leader in the field and a desired clinic to practice with. We have achieved this by tapping into the skill of each doctor on staff and working as a team to provide a positive outcome for our patients. We were awarded one of two nationally selected Integrative STAIR Residency Sites in 2013. STAIR is a certified postdoctoral program for naturopathic graduates that provides a unique clinical experience under the guidance of both naturopathic and medical doctors.

We provide a sense of well being for patients that can be felt as they arrive at our clinic. Our landscaping and building are chemical free, and our staff is dedicated to quality care and patient support.

FWN pictures itself as a garden and our staff as gardeners. We enjoy input from our employees, contractors and patients to create our ideal environment. This entails regular meetings, staff retreats, and celebrations. In addition, we host a Facebook page and encourage patient comments with cards placed strategically in our building.

We also believe we have an even larger responsibility to the community. As a team, we choose volunteer opportunities in which we can all contribute. These have included free clinic days at our building staffed by doctors, office staff and other building practitioners. We believe that in coming together we can make a difference. In addition to past sponsorship of our doctors volunteering in Ethiopia and Haiti, we give free health talks, interviews or articles on a near monthly basis in our community.

What Our Patients Say

Sustainability

Federal Way Naturopathy is committed to sustainable choices in every aspect of our practice. We use only recycled paper and organic (or no) fertilizers in our landscaping. We clean without harsh chemicals, and we remodel with the greenest products and materials available. And we are proud to have installed one of the first rain gardens in Federal Way.

I have never been more pleased with a doctor’s office. These providers truly care about your wellbeing. You’re not just another patient. All of their staff members - doctors, MAs, front desk - are so caring and wonderful to work with. I’ve been a patient here for years and I’m so grateful for all of them and getting me the help I need. I will be a patient here as long as I can.
The property is gorgeous and has a real community-minded feel to it. It was a very toddler friendly office, clean, warm and inviting, with genuinely kind and personable staff. Everyone remembered our names conversationally and it just felt like we belonged there. Dr. Rasmussen was a great listener and asked all the right questions, in addition to providing exceptional support for my family's needs. Joey was also fantastic, being very friendly and communicative. It was my first time getting acupuncture and I definitely think it is the right holistic therapy for me. They've done a great job cultivating an office culture that makes you as a patient feel welcome, valued, and informed.
I have had health problems for as long as I can remember, and every doctor that I have gone to has told me to sleep more and exercise. I finally decided to try a different route than taking tons of prescriptions and I am so thankful I did. During my second appointment Dr. Wilen suggested I do a couple at-home tests to rule out any other diagnoses than the ones I have now. My PCP and Rheumatologist never asked that much detail about my symptoms and how my lifestyle can affect them. I could tell she was fully engaged and I finally felt seen. The receptionist is also very sweet and super helpful!
