BACKGROUND
Among other things, Dr. Heather is a naturopathic doctor, blogger, medicine maker, teacher, student, believer, creator, sister, daughter, and friend. She grew up in scenic northwest New Jersey and feels fortunate to call both the northeast and the southwest “home.” Dr. Heather knew from a young age that she wanted to pursue medicine. She majored in biochemistry and molecular genetics and dual minored in public health as well as environmental studies and sustainability at a small liberal arts school in her home state, and went through all the pre-med steps to attend conventional medical school; however, when the time came to apply, it didn’t feel right. After a couple “gap” years and a synchronous encounter on a ski lift during which she learned from a stranger about Bastyr University and naturopathic medicine, she knew this was exactly what she’d been looking for ~ so she packed up, drove cross country, and completed four years of extreme growth, unparalleled community, and what felt like a “dream-come-true” at Bastyr University California.
Dr. Heather considers herself a lover of learning and a continual seeker of truth. She is currently continuing her studies of natural healing as she pursues her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the Pacific College of Health and Science. She is also owner and founder of Evergreen Naturopathic. She continues to be grateful every day for finding what she deeply believes to be her passion and calling, and for the honor and privilege it is to have received the training she has and to use it to help people reach their highest states of health and human potential. When she’s not coming up with treatment plans or studying up on health and healing, she loves spending time with her family and pets, gardening and working with herbs, singing and dancing and making music, taking pictures, exploring new cultures, and soaking in sunshine, fresh air, and the beauty of nature.
