"I’ve been practicing naturopathic medicine since 1982. In addition to my practice, I am a passionate patient advocate, helping people gain access to third party reimbursement, as well as reimbursement equity for naturopathic physicians. I have co-authored several articles on naturopathic medical practice in the areas of practice characteristics, medical co-management, and Hepatitis C." Leanna Standish, ND, PhD, LAc, FABNO

"I was born and grew up in Seattle, though I spent some early years in the Philippines. For the first ten years of my medical career, I practiced Emergency Medicine in ERs throughout Pennsylvania and Washington during which time I began a private practice in Family Medicine. When I began private practice in 1981, I found practitioners of other disciplines to join me (acupuncturists, physical therapists, naturopaths, midwives, and physicians in other specialties), and the collective of Seattle Healing Arts Center was born."

Dr. Edwards hails from a generation that began a "back to earth" movement. Deciding she wanted to help transform adverse influences in ecology that resulted in adverse effects on human health, she realized that the field of natural medicine would allow her to do both. In 1988, she took the very first NPLEX exams. She was present at the first meeting of the AANP and served on the board during the mid'90s as a legislative chair when very few states had licensure laws for naturopathic physicians. Dr. Edwards was also a part of a team involved in political efforts that resulted in a big jump in the number of licensed states in the '90s. Karim Abdullah, ND
"When I look back on the path that has led me here, there have been many important elements and experiences which have motivated me along this wonderful road. Primary among them have been my interests in learning about Nature, Humanity, the Sciences and the Source of all Life and Creation. I have great respect for the efforts and advances in conventional (allopathic) medicine and enjoy collaborating with Medical Doctors and Specialists to help a human being regain the gift of good health on all of its refined dimensions of well-being: spiritually, psychologically, emotionally and physically." Raymond Diaz, ND
"I’ve been seeking the truth for as long as I’ve been conscious of awareness. It seems such a paradox that the more of a nobody I am, and don’t know, the more functional and useful and loving a being I have become, and true self-esteem blossoms. “I’m a Cuban man” is one of the stories. Son, brother, father, doctor, group leader, spiritual counselor, minister, recovering addict, divorced, remarried, stepfather, mentor, friend, disabled, faced death, sat with many who have died, singer, athlete. All stories, all useful, and all in the way. All grist for the engines of acceptance, surrender, and letting go. The present moment rises to be what it is." Marlene Ehrler, ND
Dr. Ehrler is the founder of Motherhood Medicine™ Naturopathic Corporation, and the My Medicine™ program. She is a licensed naturopathic doctor, professor, and mentor who aims to keep intuitive and lineage based medicine alive. “My journey from being a new doc to where I am now is quite the story.
