Born in Alaska, Jill was raised in picturesque areas of Idaho, Wyoming, and on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. She always connected easily with people and enjoyed the sense of community that came with living in small towns. Adventurous by nature, Jill's early exposure to medicine was mostly limited to emergency room visits related to broken bones and deep cuts.","Jill developed an early fascination with medicine, but an unusual circumstance in her mid-thirties led to the fulfillment of her lifelong dream of becoming a physician. Seemingly overnight, Jill developed a disabling illness in the prime of her life. Previously energetic and healthy, she became weak to the point of having difficulty even standing or walking. Despite years of working with some of the best medical doctors in the country, Jill had no definitive diagnosis and her condition was not improving. Jill eventually turned to natural medicine for alternative solutions and ultimately regained her health and resumed an active lifestyle. Her journey back to health led to her enrollment at Bastyr University, the leading school for Naturopathic medicine.","Jill subscribes to naturopathic philosophy — treating people as individuals and looking for the underlying cause of disease rather than just alleviating symptoms. She believes that the solution to most health problems is not contained in a pill. Jill finds that most illnesses are due to complex interactions of various factors and enjoys putting the puzzle pieces together with her patients. She highly values the gift of health in her own life and wants to give that same gift to her patients.","Jill connected with Naomi Bryant in medical school and was immediately attracted to her authenticity.

She enjoyed an active childhood filled with wholesome food and fresh, clean Rocky Mountain air. An avid swimmer, Naomi worked as a lifeguard at the community pool during her teen years. One busy summer day, Naomi spotted a small body lying lifeless at the bottom of the pool. After pulling the child out of the water, she began CPR on the little girl. She was relieved when the girl gasped a life-saving breath. The girl, ironically named Angel, survived the incident unscathed.","Inspired by the impact she had on Angel's life and fascinated by medicine, Naomi began shadowing doctors, volunteering in emergency rooms, and training as an Emergency Medical Technician. She was impressed with modern medicine's life-saving technology and believed that her path would be that to a conventional MD. At the same time, she found western medicine somewhat at odds with her own appreciation for traditional tribal herbal medicine, which she had developed in Montana.","After completing undergraduate work, Naomi began investigating medical schools. She stumbled upon Bastyr University, a Naturopathic medical school that promoted health and focused on disease prevention. In addition, Bastyr provided a holistic medical education that used nutrition and herbal medicine, and merged alternative therapies with conventional medical care. This was exactly what she had been searching for. Naomi believes that good health is a person's greatest asset and is most easily maintained by patterns incorporated into everyday life. She feels that the best medicine uses exercise and nutrition to prevent disease and uses advanced medical technology when warranted.","Naomi met Jill Monster on her first day of class at Bastyr. They quickly formed a deep, lasting friendship that was strengthened by late-night studying, common values, and a shared passion for medicine. In addition, Naomi and Jill each gave birth to babies during medical school.
