Dr. EMILY COOMBS NMD
Dr. Coombs began her journey in the natural health world by working in the vitamin department of a health food store as a teenager. While she saw incredible stories of healing using natural products instead of medications, she also saw customers using products that were ineffective or dangerous. She became hungry to learn about the science and research behind natural products, and how to use them safely and appropriately. She first obtained a Bachelor’s of Science in herbal medicine from Bastyr University, and went on to graduate from Bastyr with a 4 year degree in naturopathic medicine. After graduation, she completed a two year residency at Sierra Tucson, an inpatient behavioral health treatment center in Arizona, and continued on as a physician at Sierra Tucson. She has a passion for complex psychiatric presentations, working with high achievers experiencing burnout, and all aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. She currently sees patients in person at Naturemedica, private clients via telemedicine, and in a residential treatment center setting at Sierra Tucson.
