As a naturopath, I am here to guide you on your path to wellness by using the most gentle, noninvasive means possible. I do this by using botanicals, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, diet, and lifestyle counseling as my primary modalities. As one of the six principles of naturopathic medicine, I also believe prevention is the best way to stay healthy! I earned my bachelor's degree from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado and my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. During my clinical internship, I worked at a wide variety of community clinics in Portland, treating a diverse range of populations and disorders. I have a special interest in pediatrics and women’s health. I enjoy working with patients of all ages, and you'll find my gentle yet enthusiastic approach to healthcare both comforting and inspiring. When not seeing patients, you can find me riding my bike, hiking in the gorge, or picking berries at Mt. Hood with my husband and 3 year old son Rhys.

Atty Zschau, L.Ac. - Atty has been a Licensed Acupuncturist since 1998. Her approach to healing involves the belief that physical health is interconnected with emotional and spiritual well-being. Atty enjoys working with musculo-skeletal injuries such as low back pain, sciatica and disorders of the spine. These disorders may have their root in trauma (as in car accidents) or in more chronic diseases such as stress or overuse syndromes. Like many Acupuncturists, Atty wants you to know that acupuncture can treat many internal disorders, not just pain syndromes. Some of her specialties include sinus problems and sinusitis, issues around childbirth (including breech presentation), asthma, post-surgical fatigue, digestive problems and stress reduction. She uses healing touch (acupressure) in her practice, along with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Atty is also known by her full name, Patricia Zschau, L.Ac.

Erica Peirson, N.D. - As a Naturopathic Physician, I am dedicated to helping you on your healing path by supporting your body’s own innate healing abilities. I believe the body is very wise and it is important to pay attention to what it needs instead of suppressing what it is trying to tell us. I graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from PSU and received a doctorate degree in Naturopathic Medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine. I have worked in hospitals throughout my entire adult life, including several years as an EMT. I have much respect for and understanding of conventional medicine. My skills include nutrition, lifestyle counseling, IV therapy, physical medicine, botanical medicine, vitamin and supplement prescribing and disease prevention. My practice focuses on chronic degenerative diseases like osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and arthritis. I also have a special interest in skin disorders such as psoriasis, acne and eczema. The topic of my doctoral thesis was wound healing, which was a wonderful way to learn more about venous stasis ulcers, chronic wounds, and support for patients before surgery.
