Dr. James Gilchrist, ND, L.Ac.

Originally from Parker,  Dr. Gilchrist left Colorado in 1998 to attend college in Utah .  He interrupted his studies to serve a mission in Argentina, and among the lessons he learned there was that making healthy food choices and getting regular exercise were powerful tools for health and well-being.  Upon returning home, Dr. Gilchrist decided he would learn all he could about natural health so he could teach these tools to his future patients.  World events took Dr. Gilchrist overseas for a few more years, but he eventually found the path to realize his dream at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington.  There Dr. Gilchrist discovered the world of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, earning his Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, and his Master's degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine.  Dr. Gilchrist specializes in working with children and adolescents, treating auto-immune conditions and behavioral issues with safe and effective natural therapies.

Dr. Lovejoy

Dr. Kathleen Lovejoy, ND

I’m Dr. Kathleen Lovejoy, and am a Naturopathic Doctor. I love nature, the great outdoors, photography, animals, and traveling with my husband.  Our family consists of 4 cats, 3 horses, 5 Scottish Highland cows, and many chickens, ornamental pheasants, and peacocks. There is never a dull moment. ​

​I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Oregon State University, and later, realized I wanted to attend naturopathic medical school. I worked on other required prerequisite classes locally in the interim before applying. ​

​In 2022 I graduated naturopathic medical school from Bastyr University, in Seattle, Washington. ​Prior to this, I was a Massage Therapist for 8 years, where I grew to love helping people heal from injuries and pain. However, I wanted to do more for them, especially while hearing their experiences with the shortcomings of our conventional medical system, and their frustrations with providers. Many weren’t even sure the names of medications they were taking, or which medication was for which condition. It made me feel their pain and frustration, and felt I could do so much more to help empower them, and help them be able to take charge of their own health, if I became a doctor.​​

So here I am! I strive to find and treat the root cause of what’s happening in your body that’s preventing you from living your best life. Symptoms are telling your body that something is wrong, which is why we need to find what is causing these symptoms, and address that, rather than just suppressing your symptoms. ​​

Whether it be through ordering standard or specialty labs, imaging, digging deep into your medical history, or referring to a specialist, I am happy to help where I can.​​

Please join me, as I’d love to get to know you, and do a thorough job addressing all of your concerns and listening to your goals, while offering treatment suggestions that are fitting and acceptable to you, in the most natural and holistic way possible.​​​

Sincerely,​

Dr. Lovejoy
