Dr. Becky (Rebecca) Andrews, ND, LAc, LMP
-
Hi, I'm Dr. Andrews. I
am a licensed
Naturopathic Physician, Acupuncturist, and Massage Therapist.
- I
earned both my
Naturopathic and Acupuncture degrees at
Bastyr University. I have
a bachelors degree in psychology from the
University of Kentucky. I
received my massage training at the Boulder College of Massage
Therapy.
-
Some of my earliest introduction to natural medicine was in massage
school where I was introduced to both Chinese medicine and herbal
medicine. I have
been lucky enough to study herbal medicine with
master herbalists in Boulder, CO and the Amazon basin, Peru.
- My clinical
interests are: physical medicine and pain management, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, environmental medicine / detoxification,
biotherapeutic drainage and women's health.
- I
strive to combine
eastern, western, traditional, and contemporary healing philosophies
and therapies into a truly individualized approach for each patient.
-
Treatments with me will often combine conventional medicine,
naturopathic medicine,
acupuncture, and
physical medicine
modalities. I commonly combine acupuncture with spinal
manipulation, massage, and physical therapy techniques such as
ultrasound or electrical muscle stimulation. I
also frequently incorporate food allergy testing,
herbal medicines,
nutrient therapy,
detoxification
and biotherapeutic drainage remedies.
- I believe
that my role as a physician is to empower patients in their unique
journey toward the optimal health of their body, mind and spirit.
I find this
is best achieved by collaborating as an equal partner in the
healing process of each patient, removing the obstacles to
health, and supporting the innate ability and wisdom of each person
to heal themselves.
- I
value the genuine connection I have with my patients. My
office is a nurturing and safe environment where patients feel
empowered and respected as individuals, but also challenged to move
forward in their journey toward optimal health. My office is a
place of laughter, exploration, challenges, transformation and
growth!
- I
also serve as adjunct faculty at Bastyr University teaching
subjects such as massage & physical medicine, minor surgery, and
botanical medicine.
- I currently serve on
the board of directors for the
Washington
Association of Naturopathic Physicians
- I
am currently a Member of:
-
American Association of
Naturopathic Physicians
-
Washington Association of Naturopathic
Physicians
-
Acupuncture Alliance
-
Physicians for Social Responsibility
- And
a past member of:
-
American Botanical Council
-
American Herbalist Guild
-
American Massage Therapy Association
-
American Holistic Medical Association
- My pre-medical background
includes dance, music, spirituality, and indigenous healing
traditions.
