Welcome
Hello readers. My name is Stacy Bowker and I am a Naturopathic Physician licensed in Washington State. I have created this blog to share information related to Natural Healthcare for children and infants. Information will range from tips for homecare of minor ailments and illnesses to a Holistic perspective on the latest research pertaining to Pediatric Medicine. I currently have a private practice in Snohomish, WA (Snohomish Valley Holistic Medicine) where I treat patients of all ages and and a variety of health conditions. When I am not seeing patients, I am busy spending time with my family and friends. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
