Dr. Lara Thompson - Naturopathic Physician

​

Whole Person & Body Positive Medicine Focus

Homeopathy, Environmental Medicine, Gentle Body Work 

We will work together to find the root cause of what's going on so you can live your best life. I know what it's like to struggle with chronic health issues and be shuffled around the medical system, my hope is to give you a sense of relief from all of that.

​

While I see patients of all ages and conditions, my clinical interest is on chronic concerns including sensitivities (chemicals, foods, and environment), highly sensitive people (HSP), sinus issues, frequent infections, headaches, TMJ, addiction, PCOS, GI issues, grief and loss, caretaker support, PTSD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQQ* and gender non-conforming health, trauma, chronic pain, and fibromyalgia.

 

If you don't fit into any of the categories mentioned, schedule a complimentary initial consult and we will see how we can work together. I make it a priority to create a safe, judgment, and shame free space for patients.

​

What lights me up about this work is the remarkable feedback from patients as their lives and health improve.

​

Background:

​

Many have called me the perfect balance of science, heart, and spirituality. I've worked in the medical and health services related field since 2001, starting off as a family support case worker in an emergency room then as a medical case worker for HIV positive adults. I left the social services field to pursue a career in medical research involved with clinical trials for HIV prevention, treatment, and reproductive health.  After witnessing the struggles of the medical system for myself and family member's chronic health issues, I discovered alternative health care and here I am. 

​

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family and my rescue dogs, cozied up on the couch with a book or watching a good movie!
