Dr. Janel's true discovery of natural medicine began as a young woman. In her early adult life, she lost her fiancé to what conventional medicine deemed an incurable illness. When the traditional medical model failed to offer him treatment options, she began researching for alternative methods of healing. After his passing, she realized the power and interconnectedness of the mind, spirit, and physical body in relation to disease. When she discovered Bastyr University she knew that to become a Naturopathic physician was her dream. After completing her bachelor's degree in plant biology at WWU and attending 5 years of medical school at Bastyr she set off to help those interested in a more natural way to not only prevent disease but to heal illness as well. Over the years Dr. Janel has realized that both conventional and natural medicine play a pivotal role in the healthcare system.
