Profile
Mary Catherine Bateson describes in one of my favorite books, Composing a Further Life, how a person’s many interests and experiences come together to inform their career. This is certainly true of my journey to becoming a Naturopathic Physician. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the all women’s Smith College, whereafter I obtained a Master of Science from Northwestern University, also in Chemistry. I was then a professional chef in Chicago, and then also in Portland, while I studied for a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine. I conducted my residency in family practice.
I have a private practice in Portland, and I am an adjunct Professor at NCNM, where I teach Advanced Topics in Women’s Health, and Gynecology Lab. I am also a member of the Oregon Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OANP) and the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP).
I live with my husband and two daughters. At home I enjoy cooking, exploring new foods and restaurants, perfecting gluten-free recipes, gardening, reading (especially mysteries), long walks with friends, pilates, and spending time with my family.I feel blessed to have found Naturopathy as my vocation since it combines many of my passions: science, research, mystery-solving, and working with and educating people about health and food. -
