With Dr. Zia N.D

I started out my practice in 2009 in New Mexico after receiving my naturopathic medicine degree from National College of Natural Medicine in Portland Oregon. There, I had the opportunity to teach at Northern New Mexico College and began giving public talks about health and wellness.

In 2011, I moved back to Oregon – this time to Albany – and opened Natural Elements Medicine, where I’ve been warned “never to retire”.

I haven’t retired, but as my skills grow and the landscape changes, I have re-imagined Natural Elements Medicine into Nelhuayo.

Healing is one of my greatest passions in life – one that stems from exploring the connections (nano and cosmic) between body-mind-heart-spirit/soul of ALL creation. Underlying all of the skills and modalities I practice is the basic foundation of respect and love for all of life.

Outside of private practice, I serve as a provider at La Clinica de Guadalupe in Salem,  as a DEI committee member for the OANP (Oregon Association of Naturopathic Physicians)  and board member for OBNM (Oregon Board of Naturopathic Medicine).

The rest of the time, I finagle time out in the world to dance, create and to commune with loved ones in other words, living JOY!
