Dr. Bonnie's goal as a physician is to work with her clients to set health goals
and to teach people to become self care experts for themselves and their families.
At the core of this education is an understanding of the ability of the body to
heal, especially when provided a healthy diet and lifestyle. Whether for prevention
or for treating acute and chronic illnesses, clients will be exposed to counseling
in nutrition including food and supplements, lifestyle including rest and relaxation,
herbal and homeopathic medicines and physical medicine ranging from home hydrotherapy
treatments to cranio-sacral treatments in the office.
Through listening to the story, gathering information about important health makers
and milestones, physical exam and indicated lab analysis, a picture of health and
opportunities for improved wellness can be identified. Dr. Bonnie will then spend
the time needed for you to understand the physiologic process of your body's
response to its environment and will develop with you a treatment plan to remove
obstacles to cure.
Finding balance in life is an ongoing personal goal of Dr. Bonnie. She has recently
moved to Ashland with her two daughters, Colette and Ianthe, and her husband Leo
from Seattle WA. They are all enjoying a slower pace with time to engage in life
including soccer games, camping, gardening, eating yummy food and reading a good
book.
Dr. Kate Naumes, ND & Licensed Midwife
Dr. Kate Naumes (sounds like "Thomas") is excited to return to her native
Oregon, working alongside Dr. Bonnie Nedrow in private practice and the team at
Hidden Springs Wellness Center.
Rather than focusing on the treatment of disease or elimination of symptoms, Dr.
Naumes considers how we live, how we interact with our environment and how those
choices affect our wellbeing. Trained as a primary care physician, Dr. Naumes has
a special interest in detoxification as well as women's and children's health.
Her choice to become both a naturopath and midwife arose from a desire to provide
continuity of care that includes preconception and infertility counseling through
newborn and pediatric care, as well as ongoing well woman and menopause concerns.
Dr. Naumes tailors her treatments to meet the individual needs of each patient.
She believes in the power of preventative medicine and the necessity of patient
education. Her approach combines a thorough history and physical with pertinent
laboratory tests, lifestyle modifications such as dietary, sleep, and exercise recommendations,
as well as various other holistic methods to guide and empower her patients on their
journey to optimal health.
Dr. Naumes received her degree in Naturopathic Medicine and Midwifery from Bastyr
University in Seattle, Washington. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry
from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts.
