Dr. Kathy

Dr. Kathy Sawhill is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with over two decades of clinical experience. Her work focuses on pain, recovery, functional health, and complex conditions that are shaped by physiology, stress, injury, and prior medical experience.
Her approach emphasizes helping individuals understand the underlying drivers of their symptoms so they can make informed decisions about their care. Health and healing follow many paths, and Dr. Sawhill supports patient choice through careful assessment, clear explanation of options, and collaborative decision-making.


Dr. Sawhill practices within an evidence-informed, trauma-informed care (TIC) framework, prioritizing physical and psychological safety, patient autonomy, and respect for individual tolerance and pacing. This approach recognizes how prior injury, stress, and medical encounters can influence symptoms, nervous system regulation, and treatment response.
