Meet The Doctor
Hi! I’m Dr. Wendy, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in the state of Hawai’i.
I was born and raised in Honolulu - more specifically in the Hawai’i Kai area. I received my B.A in Biology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and in 2021, I graduated with my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), in Portland, Oregon - the oldest accredited naturopathic medical school in North America. My medical training was focused mainly in primary care, but I also completed rotations with a focus in cardiology-pulmonology, gastroenterology, EENT, physical medicine, IV therapy, homeopathy, and nature cure. During my time at NUNM, I was also fortunate enough to work with the highly esteemed GI/SIBO expert, Dr. Steven Sandberg Lewis. As a lifelong learner, I am always learning all that I can and keeping up with the latest medical research in order to better help my patients.
I like to take the most natural, least invasive approach possible when treating patients, which is reflected in my favorite modalities being clinical nutrition, lifestyle counseling, botanical medicine, and nutritional supplements. However, as a naturopathic physician, I have many therapeutic tools under my belt that I use, including hydrotherapy, physical medicine, homeopathic medicine, and even pharmaceutical prescribing if necessary.
Areas of specialty: acne, eczema, diabetes, digestive issues, acute & chronic infections, environmental medicine, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, longevity medicine & healthy aging, nutrition.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, hiking and spending time in nature, eating out and trying new restaurants, thrifting, and perusing farmers’ markets.
