 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was having digestive/colon problems for many years so I came to Temple Natural Health to get help.  After 5 months of treatment, my problem was solved, I felt a lot better and regained my strength and vitality. I’m sleeping better too and don’t really feel tired during the day at work or at home. Thanks to Dr. Ara Walline who patiently treated me in that course of time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Temple natural health is probably in the top five natural health centers in the country with regards to what they offer. I have been going there for over 25 years, my health is excellent, thanks to their coaching and services that they offer. The staff is amazing, the owners have very high standards, and they are Hands-On making sure everything goes smooth. I don't think there's another place in the area that really compares.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with my video call appointment.  Dr.Ara Walline was punctual, attentive, and took the time to listen to all of my concerns. She explained everything clearly, answered my questions thoroughly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. The virtual appointment was convenient, easy to access, and just as effective as an in-person consultation. I appreciated the professionalism and compassionate care. I would highly recommend this service to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a client here for lymphatic drainage, massage. I brought my teen in for a surprise needed physical in order that she might take a diving class. They were able to schedule her the next week, and then they did the paperwork and bloodwork same day too. Dr. Maggie was great with her and the whole experience was seamless. The intake forms texted to me were my favorite part. I filled them out on my phone and it worked without some strange error.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Jamie Doughty is amazing.  I was referred by a friend to visit here for lymphedema in my arm.  My arm hasn't felt better in years. The electro lymphatic massage was so helpful. While there we also discussed my GLP-1 journey and medications.  Found out some of my meds were canceling out other meds and some meds were being taken at the wrong time of day.  After adjusting these recommendations I feel better and sleep better a week out. Will continue to visit here to get my body back on track. Wish I would have found her/them earlier.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my first abdominal massage with Caitlyn, and it was an incredible experience. Although I've received many different types of bodywork over the years, abdominal massage was new to me, and Caitlyn immediately put me at ease with her warm, thoughtful presence. She took the time to understand what was going on in my body and explained how the treatment would address my specific concerns, which left me feeling completely supported. Her depth of knowledge really stood out. She seamlessly connected the structural and emotional aspects of the body, helping me understand how tension in the abdomen can contribute to pain in the neck, jaw, back, hips, and legs. During the session I could feel my body relaxing, and in the days afterward I noticed a significant decrease in my back pain and shoulder tension. I highly recommend Caitlyn to anyone dealing with pain, tension, or simply looking to feel more connected to their body. Temple Natural Health is also a beautiful, welcoming space with an incredible team. I'm looking forward to returning and feel completely confident referring friends, family, and clients to Caitlyn.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Doughty is an amazing doctor. I found her 8 years ago when I was struggling with a serious stomach issue that years of different gastroenterologists could not figure out. Dr. Doughty had me healing in no time. I feel that without her I would still be struggling and miserable. Dr. D is friendly and kind. Her knowledge is awe inspiring. I can’t recommend Temple Natural Health enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t currently live in Seattle anymore, but every time I return, the Temple of Natural Health is the very first place I visit to nourish my body with the necessary IV drip after a long airplane flight :-) I recently had my first electro lymphatic drainage session with Caitlyn Wright, and it was truly incredible. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of calm wash over me. Caitlyn creates such a safe, nurturing space, and her presence alone is grounding. During the session, I could literally feel my body relax and shift into a healing state it was deeply restorative and rejuvenating. I left feeling lighter, more connected, and genuinely supported in my body. It wasn’t just a treatment it was a powerful healing experience. I was so impressed that I immediately booked another session with her. The Temple of Natural Health is such a sanctuary peaceful, welcoming, and filled with beautiful, intentional energy. You can truly feel the care and vision behind it. I highly recommend Caitlyn and this sacred space to anyone seeking deep healing and reconnection. And a heartfelt thank you to Tim and Kristy for creating such a special and powerful healing hub. Much Love ❤️ Michelle

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Ara Walline has been guiding me for a few months now, via lymphatic drainage sessions and solutions for chronic sinus congestion and digestive issues--all of which have really been turning around. Definitely enjoying improvements from these treatments, and have been feeling quite well, thanks to Dr Ara & Temple Natural Health 🙂 *Wish to add: noticed another reviewer expressed not liking the new location.. my experience has been exactly the opposite: I much prefer Temple Natural Health's new location as compared to the old Tummy Temple. The new space is beautiful, serine and well thought out.. and BONUS: I always find easy parking!

Naturopathic Medicine FAQs

Why See a Naturopathic Doctor?

Naturopathic medicine is designed to identify the root issues of poor health by looking at each patient holistically. This is exactly the approach we take at Temple Natural Health. Our NDs are committed to treating each of a patient’s symptoms as parts of a related system, not as issues to be addressed separately.

If you have been struggling to achieve better health through conventional medicine, then naturopathic medicine – also known as naturopathy – might be right for you.

Why Choose Temple Natural Health for Naturopathy?

Temple Natural Health is a full-service naturopathic medicine clinic with an expert team of naturopathic physicians dedicated to your health.

Temple Natural Health’s full team of naturopathic physicians collaborate in a way that a clinic with a single naturopath cannot.

Further, Temple Natural Health offers a team of spa-quality massage therapists, colon hydroptherapists and more to broaden the natural health solutions we offer to our clients.

What Makes NDs Different from MDs?

Like MDs, naturopathic doctors complete four years of post-graduate study and clinical training.

Unlike MDs, naturopaths combine conventional medicine with holistic naturopathic techniques, often derived from eastern traditions.

Specifically, NDs are trained to treat seemingly disparate areas of health as interconnected systems.

By approaching healthcare this way, naturopaths promote patient health through balance and harmony within the body.

Why Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine offers a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Here’s why you might consider it:

Personalized Care: Naturopathic doctors (NDs) take the time to understand your unique health history and lifestyle to create a personalized treatment plan.
Root Cause Medicine: NDs seek to address the underlying causes of illness, rather than just masking symptoms.
Natural Therapies: Naturopathic medicine utilizes natural therapies such as herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, and lifestyle modifications.
Preventive Care: NDs emphasize preventive measures to maintain optimal health and well-being.
Empowering Patients: NDs empower patients to take an active role in their own health by providing education and guidance.

By combining these principles, naturopathic medicine can help you achieve optimal health and wellness.

What does a naturopathic doctor treat?

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) can treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Some common conditions treated by NDs include:

Digestive disorders: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, acid reflux, and food sensitivities.
Autoimmune diseases: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.
Mental health conditions: Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress.
Skin conditions: Eczema, acne, and psoriasis.
Hormonal imbalances: Menopause, PMS, and PCOS.
Chronic pain: Fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines.

Naturopathic doctors offer a natural approach to healthcare and can effectively treat many of the same conditions as conventional medicine, often with fewer side effects and a focus on long-term health and wellness.

What is another name for a naturopathic doctor?

Here are a few more names for a naturopathic doctor:

Naturopath
Doctor of Naturopathy (ND)
Naturopathic Physician
Natural Medicine Doctor
Holistic Doctor
Alternative Doctor
Homeopath

How to choose a naturopathic doctor?

When choosing a naturopathic doctor, consider these tips:

Credentials: Ensure they are licensed and graduated from an accredited naturopathic medical school.
Experience: Look for a doctor with experience treating your specific health concerns.
Philosophy: Find a doctor whose philosophy aligns with your own health goals.
Comfort Level: Choose a doctor with whom you feel comfortable discussing your health history and concerns.
Referrals: Check within your community of friends and family to ask for a referral to a local naturopath.

You can find a licensed naturopathic doctor through the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) or by asking for referrals from friends, family, or other healthcare providers.
