Saunas, cold plunges, and hydrotherapy are becoming all the rage, but naturopathic doctors have been excited about these practices for a long time. Welcome to the scene, we are glad you’re here! ;) Did you know that has a form of hydrotherapy on site called constitutional hydrotherapy that combines hot and cold treatments on the chest and back that support lymphatic, digestive and immune function? The spa and bath house culture is one of the things that drew me to the Pacific Northwest and I love that the options are expanding.

Turns out people like human-ness. This is one of the main ways I’ve grown my practice for patients and also retained employees and built an awesome office culture. For some reason we’ve been taught culturally that being human is unprofessional, but in reality we all crave it. My main moto in my business has been that we spend the majority of our time with the people we work with so we might as well find ways to enjoy it and support one another. Enough of the toxic work culture and healthcare systems! It takes work to show up in this way and it’s not perfect but on the days it does work it feels incredibly rewarding.

My kids came to have lunch with me this week at work. Sometimes as an entrepreneur, business owner and mother I have these moments where I feel like I’m a child playing house and this was one of them. Seeing these bright eyes come through the door in the middle of a busy day totally shifted my nervous system. To all the parents out there running businesses I see you. Running a business is not all that different than parenting, it never stops, it needs constant support and care, it needs to be fed to grow and it’s forever changing. When I first became a mom I felt absolutely rattled to have a sweet baby to tend to while having my work baby also need me. The balance is never perfect but over the years of parenting and my business growing my internal resources have evolved to feel less rattled, to have better support structures around me so that both my home and work lives can thrive and practicing the skill it takes to oscillate my nervous system between my work roll and parenting roll. Both take a village and sometimes a village for a business comes in the form of amazing employees that feel like family, my attorney, book keepers, billers and so many other businesses that help keep ours running.

One Connection Healthcare offers a wide range of services from neonatal, pediatric and adult primary care to more chronic illness and condition support. We infuse humanity and connection into our care not just for our patients, but also for one another within our team. As the founder of OCH I believe a business can only be as healthy and successful as the work environment and culture and I have poured my heart into supporting the amazing team of clinicians and staff that we have been so fortunate to gather so that patients can experience our best clear and compassionate support. As a patient you’ll feel it from your experience all the way from our administrative staff to your provider appointment. We want you to have a human connection to our team. We don’t care just because it’s our job, we care because it also brings us joy and connection to support humans and this is why we are in this work.

A brief window into how things have evolved since starting . So much gratitude for the team of people to get me here, including all the many patients who have trusted me in their care. Starting and growing a business is not just the ‘work’ to make it happen. It’s a mental health endurance marathon with the many decisions that impact the business, endless opportunities to pivot or to take risks or maintain. Ever since starting my own business I can’t stop thinking about how every single business we engage with has someone behind the scenes who started it from the ground up. Someone who thought of everything all the way down to the toilet paper in the bathroom. Every system created, even if appearing simple on the outside, took thought and a system creation. Often if a system in a business isn’t even noticed then that’s the one that is the most streamlined. There is so much work that is unseen as an entrepreneur and some days there can be a major win to celebrate while others all I can celebrate is that we didn’t run out of toilet paper. More to come on what support systems help make the mental health aspects of running a business sustainable and what internal growth is needed to grow a business relationally.

Here we go! I haven’t shown up in this space in a long time. I’m here and ready to share more about my business, One Connection Healthcare, through my lens as a practicing naturopathic doctor. I’ll talk about my business growth, my thoughts as a human witnessing our healthcare system and how we can stay afloat in this strange system of business and healthcare from a humanistic approach.

Dr. Lily here….today marks One Connection Healthcare’s three year anniversary and I am oozing in pride at the team and patients that I get to work with every day. I started on this day three years ago as a one woman show. I was seeing patients, answering my own phones, collecting payments and doing my own books….now three years later my amazing husband and co-owner Dr. Michael Rak work together and employ 10 incredible humans who we couldn’t be prouder to work with . It’s an incredible thing to look around an office and see every little piece of furniture, wall hanging, medical equipment that we have built and created. I have a new appreciation for all the small business owners out there. Next time you walk into a business just think about even down to the TP in the bathroom the owner had to buy or create a system so that it could be there. The last three years have been FULL and the dream I had to create an integrated team of providers offering inclusive and compassionate care has been fulfilled beyond what I could have ever imagined. We are (re)creating a healthcare space that doesn’t need to be traumatizing, where you can feel heard, and where people can heal. Not just physically, but also emotionally, unwinding the harm that has been done in other healthcare systems. This team not only works hard to communicate well with patients, but we also work with each other to uphold a team environment that feels safe for each other. I’m incredibly excited to show up alongside this incredible team, in this beautiful space, supporting some of the most resilient humans I’ve ever met. It is an honor.
