There is so much to say about motherhood. It pushes you beyond your wildest imagination to places of growth, love and discomfort all at once.

Eight years ago yesterday, I become a mother. Getting pregnant, pregnancy and birth were all such massive initiations. And especially now, I sit in deep reverence for how motherhood continues to shape me….humbling me, grounding me, and bringing me closer to the person I’m meant to be.

It’s not everyone’s path, and it’s certainly not the only way to grow. But I know for sure I wouldn’t be who I am today without my kids. My oldest, Ira, is my greatest teacher. He inspires me daily to stay on the path of healing and expansion so I can show up as the version of myself he deserves.

Ira, I love your bright beautiful soul so much. You’re endlessly lovable, deeply curious and your heart is so so pure. Your laugh, your songs and your questions about how everything works are the kind of everyday magic that softens and soothes my heart and everyone around you. I am forever grateful to be on this journey with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏼🤍💫

Hi! I’m Dr. Elizabeth, a naturopathic doctor based in Portland, OR. I specialize in hormones and love helping women reclaim having a healthy relationship with their wombs- whether that’s clearing up PMS, period pain, hormonal acne or migraines. There is such a gap in education on what healthy periods should look like or how to live in sync with your natural rhythms as women. I’m here to bridge that gap!

I’ve also spent the last 7 years deeply immersed in the world of gut health. I consult for a microbiome company and have had the opportunity to review thousands of stool tests from across the country. It’s not pretty ya’ll 😳😬

Gut health has such a huge ripple effect on everything from your hormones, mood, metabolism, skin and immune system. Healing the gut is one of the most powerful ways to shift your entire health trajectory. And I love that I get to support people in that process everyday.

If you’re in Portland I would love to welcome you to my sunny office. If you’re not local, we can work together virtually.

I also created a program called Fertility Reclaimed which is a 5 module course that walks you through everything you need to know on setting the foundation for optimal fertility for you and your partner.

captured this beautiful tree in full bloom in our front yard. My children have taken many stroller naps under this tree, we’ve talked to it, smelled its intoxicating blooms. I’ve cried under it. We see it everyday and witness its ever changing landscape. It’s lost limbs in wind/ice storms and it’s grown anew and stayed vibrant despite it all.

Feels very symbolic for our time in this house and season of life. Every changing, shedding & loss coupled with a steady presence and incredible blooming & radiance all mixed into one 🤍

So beyond grateful for Natalie capturing these stunning images of my babies underneath our tree 🤍

Join me for a transformative journey into the sacred space of Womb Wellness. This 2-hour workshop is designed to empower individuals with knowledge and practices that honor and nurture the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the womb.

Just as the moon gracefully shifts, our cycles mirror the rhythmic sway of a mighty oceanic wave, waxing and waning each month. By attuning and aligning with these natural frequencies, we unlock the keys to living in profound balance and harmony.

Key Highlights:
1. Body Literacy: gain a deeper understanding of the hormones at play during your menstrual cycle and distinguish differences between “what’s healthy” vs “what’s common.” This knowledge will EMPOWER YOU to align with the natural rhythms of your body and cultivate a harmonious relationship with your menstrual cycles. 
2. Fertility Awareness: Learn how to use your menstrual cycle to accurately pinpoint ovulation day and identify your fertile window each month. This practice can be used to deepen your connection to your body, for contraception or for conception

Death & Renewal

Never in my life have I been I understood the value of starting a new year like this one.

2024 was undoubtedly the most painful year of my life. I experienced a heartbreak that felt like death and all sense of security I had known to date fell aside as my kids and I hopped from Airbnb to Airbnb while our home was remediated for mold and we fumbled with finding a new rhythm as a family of 3.

It was destabilizing and brutal but with all hard experiences there are gems and looking back I’m the most thankful for my all the angels that showed up for me. 👼 They were everywhere.

My contractor, an interior designer that became a friend, the postal lady that constantly was checking in on me, Airbnb hosts, new friends, old friends, my mom and sister, business collaborators, my acupuncturist and naturopath & therapist, my patients!, my airport driver today, etc etc. I constantly am reminded of my light as the people around me reflect back my power and worth and for that I’m so thankful. It felt like a lifeline during paradoxically the loneliest year of my life. THANK YOU 🙏🏼

This time last year there was a pit of doom in my stomach as I faced the long road of pain ahead of me. It felt impossible, as often things can feel. But here I am a year later, still standing, dare I say better off - stronger, happier and certainly confident that even though I wish things didn’t have to go the way they did, I know deep in my soul that things had to change.

I’ve been dimming my light and suppressing parts of me that weren’t fully accepted or celebrated by those I loved for far too long. 2025 I am reclaiming ALL of me. My energy will be poured even deeper into my passions and the endeavors that serve my community, my kids and myself. It’s time to fly babes! 🪽

Adios 2024, you won’t be missed but I appreciate the growth ✌️

Thank you for your Google reviews 🥰

They really help lead the right people my way and it’s a super proud moment for me every time I see that people find me from a Google search. I have not spent any money on SEO or marketing and it’s a great reminder that the work will speak for itself when your heart is invested in the right place.

Thank you 🙏🏼 Thank you 🙏🏼

New me calls for new hair ✂️

Thanks to for the shaggy bangs. I am working with styling it as good as you did last week 🙏🏼

Ira said “mom, you look new” when he first saw me. And then when I asked him if he liked my haircut he said yes but I could tell he wasn’t so sure so I told him he could tell me the truth and he said no 😂

Change is hard sometimes but I am sprouting all kinds of seeds and feeling super invigorated by allowing change to be a blessing these days 🤍

Sometimes we go through massive changes that break us. Breaking us open so we can put ourselves back to together in a whole new way - a way that is for our own good.

This year certainly cracked me into a million little pieces. My relationship of 14 years ended, moved 4 times, sprained my ankle, our nanny of 2 years left and went back to school, had emergency surgery for ovarian torsion, had to set some uncomfortable boundaries family members and dealt with a crazy mold situation/remediation in the first home I’ve ever owned that cost $$$ and turned too much of my hair grey.

I really felt lost in the madness. But the truth is, while so much discomfort was navigated, there were so many gifts in the process.

Mold, which is a fungus, decomposes. It feels so symbolic for what I went through. The mold that was eating the walls of my home, was literally decomposing the foundation that I was clinging to for safety.

I’ve spent a lot of years thinking - when this happens, I will feel x, y or z. I thought a home would make me feel safe/secure. I thought being in a relationship equaled safety/security. But the uncomfortable truth is I had to find safety without any of these things, but rather with myself.

In every situation, always, it comes back to our relationship with ourselves.

People have commended me for my bravery and strength and while I can honestly say I do feel strong, I can assure you there was an enormous amount of fear, panic and anxiety for the good first half of this year+. Less eloquently put, a lot of kicking and screaming as every false senses of security unraveled around me. I cried, paced & panicked and then cried again and again and again.

My community held me. My friends were there for me. And in the end, I found freedom by finally returning home to myself.

Happy to report that I’m finally on the other side of this messy growth spurt and really (REALLY!) really excited to see what life has in store for me next.

Feeling filled to the brim with gratitude lately for everything in my life! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And thank you for this beautiful dress

Hi 👋

I’m Elizabeth, a naturopathic doctor based in Portland, OR. Don’t worry! I work with people all of the world if you’re not in the PNW and looking for a doctor who can help you get to the root cause of the issues that are preventing you from living your most radiant life! It’s been a while since I introduced myself.

My speciality has always been in fertility and everything hormones. Yet, since infertility is linked to a constellation health issues, I’ve worked with it all!

Check out my preconception /fertility program FERTILITY RECLAIMED if you want to unlock your highest potential in creating the healthiest baby possible before your conceive.

I’m also a gut microbiome expert and have been extensively studying the gut microbiome for years. I have trained other medical docs, chiros, nutritionists and ND’s for years on how to use their patients gut microbiome analysis clinically to support their patient care. I have also written and lectured on the gut microbiome extensively.

The last year of my life I’ve been personally dealing with mold in my home which has unintentionally led me to become a mold expert as well. Life will do that! “Gift” you with experiences that can be brutal but allow you to use what you learn to help others. I’ve spent the last year studying with mold experts to understand not just testing and treating mold in the body but also in your home. 😅😅😅 I really hope you’re not dealing with mold, but if you are, I can help!

And, I am a trained cranial sacral and Holistic Pelvic Care™️ therapist. If you’re local, let’s do some hands on nervous system support. Somatic work really deepens the healing process.

You can read my 5 star Google reviews for testaments on what it’s like to work with me but I will say this: I’m thorough, compassionate and very tenacious. I don’t take shortcuts & will research and continue to fight with you until we get to the bottom of what’s going on.

Thanks for being here & please reach out if you have questions about working together! 🤍

Should I move back to Chicago?? So nostalgic being downtown with the kids and exploring this magnificent city with them where I have such fond memories.

Thanks to again for all the cut pics. My kids are getting so big, it’s wild to look at them in photos and truly seen how grown they are. And Ira’s face literally melts me 🥰
