Rooted in Tradition, Grounded in Evidence
Integrative medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with complementary and alternative therapies. This approach considers the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of a person’s health, and aims to provide personalized, patient-centered care. Check out our featured services below!

Healthy Gut & Nutrition
Whole foods contain an abundance of natural vitamins and antioxidants to support your health. Whether you are plant-based, heavy on the meats, or somewhere in-between, it's important to understand how your gut health interacts with your physical and mental health. The ticket to a healthy gut microbiome is a diverse, whole foods nutrition plan. Along the way, you may benefit from bloodwork, stool studies, supplement support, medication management, and even recipe sharing. Let's get started!
Whole Life Care Planning
One of the most important things you can do for your health is to write out your "advance directives". Advance directives are legal documents that provide instructions for care when a person is unable to make their own treatment choices. They include arrangements for living wills, medical power of attorney, and DNR orders. Work with Ritual Medical to complete your advance directives and Oregon POLST forms, and learn about end-of-life care options such as palliative care, end of life doula support, and natural burial options.
