I can’t wait to meet you!

I’m a Pacific Northwest native and youngest of 5 children. Since graduating from medical school, I have poured my heart and knowledge into opening up Petal & Thorn. I wanted to provide an apothecary for the community while also practicing naturopathic healthcare for patients. I love all natural modalities with my focus being botanicals, IV nutrients, and injections. From a plant to a needle or a petal to a thorn, if you will. 

I’m very passionate about natural medicine and love using its powerful abilities to optimize your health. I believe that good quality healthcare is your human right and it should be individualized to the person. Here at Petal and Thorn, I work to identify the root cause of illness so that we’re able to treat the underlying issues and focus on prevention moving forward. My approach to medicine is understanding your health on a mental, physical, and emotional level in order to help guide you to the best of my abilities. Everybody’s health journey is different and I would be honored to assist you in yours.

Our apothecary is open to the public so come by, grab some tea, and say hi!
