Our Philosophy & Approach to Healthcare:

At Sacred Root Medicine, our patient-centered healthcare approach is based on these principles:

* All individual parts connect to a whole.
* The body is designed for balance. If given the right conditions, it can self-correct.
* Treating the root cause of health issues can prevent & reverse chronic disease.
* All healing happens from the inside out.
* Living in connection with nature’s rhythms supports sustainable wellness.
* We are all capable of thriving, rather than just surviving.
* A whole person approach to healthcare results in greater health & wellness.

The work to dive in and look at the root cause of any ailment requires a safe, supportive environment and depth over time, thus we strive to help you feel comfortable and at ease with our whole person approach here at Sacred Root Medicine.

Our team provides healthcare that leaves you feeling inspired, empowered and capable of creating the kinds of changes that support sustainable health. Treatments are comprehensive and inclusive of all aspects that we view as valuable to building and maintaining a healthy life; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Our providers are knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate about helping you optimize your health with education and tools for sustainable wellness and disease prevention.

We look forward to treating you and your loved ones with our integrative approach.

Dr. Melanie Green, ND

Dr. Melanie Green, ND practices Naturopathic Medicine at Sacred Root Medicine.

Her first introduction to integrative care and holistic healing came by way of her years spent as a yoga teacher in Portland, Oregon where she attended Portland State University to study English Literature. Identifying with health and healing as an unfolding story of the body and the individual’s process, she found great inspiration in learning of the interconnected, whole systems approach of Naturopathic Medicine. When she discovered there was a means to provide holistic care with a core focus on hearing the patient, treating the root cause of imbalance and using the healing power of nature as first line treatment options, she then began her life’s work of studying integral healing with modalities of Naturopathic Medicine.

Dr. Green understands the importance of individualized, relationship-based care and aspires to create depth over time with each of her patients. In doing so, she finds greater opportunity for patients to access engagement in their own healing to create measurable change with authenticity, sustainability and personal empowerment. As a mother of four children, she also intimately knows that creating a state of well-being within can enhance quality of life for individuals, relationships, families and communities as a collective whole.

Dr. Green is a graduate of the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. She holds additional training in Women’s Health, Mind-Body Medicine, Somatic Healing, Pelvic Floor Therapy, and Cranio-Sacral Therapy. In addition, her extensive experience in mental health results from formerly working as the Naturopathic Doctor and Residency Director at The Center: A Place of Hope, a treatment center for patients struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction and eating disorders located in Edmonds, WA.

Joshua Green LAc, EAMP, MQP

Joshua Green LAc, EAMP, MQP practices Classical Chinese Medicine at Sacred Root Acupuncture & Naturopathic Medicine.

His first introduction to Acupuncture came by way of a life long commitment to athletics. Having played highly competitive sports all throughout his upbringing, Joshua experienced numerous injuries. With no sustained relief from conventional treatments, these injuries led him to alternative therapies, specifically Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. During the course of Acupuncture treatments, Joshua experienced first hand the healing capacity of Chinese Medicine. Not only did his body function in a healthier state, but a new found sense of well-being awakened within, enabling him to move through his daily life with more ease and fluidity.

Amazed and inspired by these events, Joshua began his life long pursuit in the studies of health and wellness through the alternative medical arts, which have come to include Classical Acupuncture, Medical Qigong, Herbal Medicine and Massage Therapeutic techniques. Joshua believes that wellness is achieved through personal empowerment, education and living in harmony with nature’s rhythms. He hopes to inspire these qualities and connections in every patient he is fortunate to treat.
