Who is Dr. Fern?

Fernanda comes from multicultural roots spanning across the USA, Spain, Italy, Hungary, and Mexico. The wisdom of holistic and natural medicine was deeply ingrained in her upbringing, ultimately guiding her towards her true calling. She went on to complete two Bachelor's degrees in biology and clinical psychology at the University of Oklahoma. During her time as a pre-med student, she realized the broader need for preventative and integrative approaches that address root causes rather than merely treating symptoms.

She furthered her education by earning her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. It was during her time here that she developed a passion for understanding the neuroendocrine systems, which play a fundamental role in all processes of the human body. As a student, she completed additional didactic and clinical hours in endocrinology, gastroenterology, gynecology, nutrition, and mind-body medicine.

Her mission now is to provide excellent, evidence-based care and craft highly individualized plans to meet her clients' needs and goals. Dr. Fern was founded to connect with and empower those who seek to make positive, sustainable changes in their lives.

Naturopathic and Holistic Wellness 

Conditions

Hormone Health

I work with a vast array of hormone conditions including Hashimoto’s disease, hyperthyroidism, addison’s disease, adrenal fatigue (HPA dysfunction), low libido, optimizing testosterone, cortisol and neurotransmitter balancing.

Nutritional Counseling

Food is medicine. I firmly believe in the transformative power of nutrition. The choices we make in fueling our bodies have a profound impact on every aspect of our well-being. I am a strong advocate for personalized care, as I recognize that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' diet or plan. My focus is on working with individuals to tailor nutrition to their unique needs. I specialize in cardio-metabolic disorders, which encompass a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to pre-diabetes, type 1 and 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypercholesterolemia, and mixed hyperlipidemia.

Women’s Health

I work with diagnosed conditions including PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, amenorrhea, Post-Birth Control Syndrome, endometriosis, PMS, PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), and peri/menopause.

Weight Management

I am here to partner with you on your weight management journey, offering guidance and support to understand and address both unwanted weight changes and those 'stubborn' pounds that seem hard to shed. Our bodies are intricate, with diverse factors influencing body composition and metabolism.

Gut Health

I work with diagnosed conditions like: SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), Candida overgrowth, IBS/IBD (irritable bowel syndrome/disease), ulcerative colitis, leaky gut, Crohn’s, GERD; along with more generalized symptoms like constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and indigestion.


Mental Health

I strongly believe in the intrinsic connection between physical and mental health. Recognizing that the mind and body are profoundly intertwined, I understand that stress is an unavoidable part of life. My focus is on working collaboratively with clients to cultivate coping strategies and holistic solutions that address mental health concerns. I specialize in supporting individuals with diagnosed conditions, such as anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADD/ADHD, insomnia, and brain fog.

  • If you are looking for true healing where you actually see results, Fernanda is the right Doctor for you! Fernanda is very thoughtful in her approach to your issue. She takes the time to really listen and analyze what all is going on. I really appreciate her attention to detail and expert knowledge when we speak, she makes you feel comfortable and calm. I am so happy I have found her! I struggled for years with severe menstrual pains and heavy bleeding. Fernanda was able to analyze me with great detail and created a plan tailored to me that WORKED! I truly never thought I would have relief from this, I was consistently told this was normal by other medical doctors.

  • I have had a long battle with depression and tried many different medications that it seemed I would always feel the same no matter the prescription. I took a chance working with Fernanda and I am so happy I did. I am not taking medication now and all my symptoms have drastically imrpoved with only taking natrual supplements. Slowly I was able to make lifestyle changes and at age 57, I feel more motivated, my libido has improved, and I feel much more satisfied with my life. It's like I am in my 30's again, I can't recommend her enough.

  • I have seen medical doctors, chiropractors, and acupuncturists but Dr. Fernanda was the first to find the root cause of my chronic pain. Since starting to work with her my mental health has improved, my weight management has improved; during our appointments I feel like I have her undivided attention. On more than one occasion she has sent me emails regarding my treatments outside of our appointment time that goes to show she genuinely cares and invested in my wellness. I really value how thorough she is in educating me on the why of her recommendations, I feel I have more ownership and understanding of my body than ever before.
