Tracy McDaniel, ND, LM SEATTLE NATURAL FAMILY MEDICINE | ONE SKY WELLNESS ASSOCIATES |

A focus on prevention and wellness is essential to the naturopathic approach. Yearly physical exams and regular well child visits provide an opportunity to address the "big picture" of a person’s health. A thorough history, laboratory testing, physical exam and diet assessment help identify personal health risks and direct recommendations. Nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, and lifestyle modification are some of the therapies that I frequently recommend. I also offer vaccinations, prescriptive drug management and minor surgery when the need arises. In addition to the health of the physical body, visits also focus on mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. As a midwife, and having given birth to my son at home, I see labor as more of an athletic event than a medical one. I have learned that a solid relationship between a family and their birth team is fundamental to creating an environment in which a woman can labor, and a couple can become parents, feeling joyful and strong. I live in the neighborhood with my husband Nick and son Charlie. In addition to spending time with my family, I find great joy in walking in the woods, organic gardening and camping. |
