Growing up in a family of healthcare practitioners, after graduating from Bastyr as a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Christine Schaffner chose to make her mark in a powerful and unique way, focusing on biological medicine – a sorely underexplored modality that supports the patient’s own innate ability to heal, rather than interrupting their physiology with medication and other prescriptive, symptom-based protocols.

With her widely diverse skill set, Dr. Schaffner combines both naturopathic, functional and conventional therapies to develop individualized treatment plans focusing on the underlying cause of complex chronic illness.

Patients who visit Dr. Schaffner, or any of the world-famous clinics she helped create, typically have seen dozens of doctors and practitioners. Likewise, other Practitioners have come to her, after years of frustration, hoping to observe and learn her approach, addressing patients’ complex health concerns and creating a successful journey that inspires their own body to open up to it’s self-regulating and self-healing mechanisms.

For the first time, Dr. Schaffner is teaching her innovative model of medicine, patient protocols, chronic illness and environmental frameworks, and investigative process to support other practitioners to help them navigate their most complex cases differently and create new avenues of health.

Dr. Schaffner has built partnerships with other leading practitioners, from around the globe, committed to treating chronic illnesses, to support this inaugural practitioner program.

Licensed in Washington State, Oregon, California, Montana (and coming soon: Arizona and Washington DC), Dr. Schaffner also offers medical consultations via telemedicine.
