Dr. Patti Kim has been a naturopathic doctor for nearly two decades, but over the years, she realized that regulating the nervous system is at the core of her work. Patti’s practice helps her patients get to the root of their health issues via individualized nutrition, homeopathy, botanical medicine, and hydrotherapy. She is also trained in classical Chinese medicine and acupuncture, so she uses a combination of techniques, if necessary, to treat her clients. “I love the connection with my patients,” she said. “It’s a lot of energy output for an introvert like myself. But it’s an intimate relationship and I’m talking to my patients on a deep level.

Dr. Hemalee Patel is all about getting to the root cause of her patient’s symptoms. The internal medicine doctor practices out of San Francisco at One Medical with a background in nutrition and economics. Double-boarded in lifestyle medicine, Hemalee has a unique understanding of prevention and that everything is intrinsically linked–what you eat, how you sleep, and how you exercise all affect conditions you might come to see your doctor for. “I love that my work is so interactive,” she said. “I also get to design programs, so working with a cross-functional team on many different areas that pertain to health and wellness is really fun and seeing those outcomes is so rewarding."

Annie Armstrong Miyao has always set out to be of service and to have an impact on a daily basis, so it makes sense after years of working in theatre and film, she became a psychotherapist. Specializing in anxiety disorders, Annie works with people of all ages and is also trained in psychodynamic theory, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic experience, dream work, Jungian theory, and mindfulness. “I love the people I work with and it’s such an honor to be able to share in part of their journey,” she said. “I get to witness them becoming more of who they are. And when they come, they find new ways to love themselves.”
