Welcome to my office, I'm glad you found your way here.
This is the medical practice of Dr. Katie Shaff.Dr. Katie is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor practicing medicine in Washington State since 2004.
Beginning in 2022, my practice is beginning to take a new direction. After more than 2 decades in health care and nearly 18 as a licensed naturopathic doctor, it is clear to me that my strength lies in the face to face education of humans about the vessel they occupy and the various ways they can go about navigating the choices they have (labs, supplements, medications). For more specific information on the care packages I offer, see the services page.
The approach to medicine in this practice to to educate patients about their bodies, their health potential, and the treatment options available to them.
The recommnedations that are sent to patients following a consulation represent an understanding of the patient beyond just their symptom management. Care in this practice is offered with a solid knowledge base about the body, health, and medicine. Treatment options are offered to, not forced on, patients. This practice serves to serve people, not judge them. Dr. Katie sees patients of all stripes and colors.
A desire to understand your body and work to love it as your vessel of life is the only requirement.
At this point, my private practice is entirely virtual and available, in some capacity, to people regardless of where they live. For patients who are in Washington State, I may be able to offer a greater degree of care options. There is no insurance billing of any type and payment is taken at the time of service.
I understand that this is an obstacle for many. For patients who are in Washington State, I do see patients at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health in Seattle. This care is also available in person as well as virtual and this location bills most insurance plans (including most Medicaid but NOT Medicare plans). Please note that care offered here is within a teaching clinic, but be assured that the clinicans who work with me and the care that we are able to offer is still fantastic.

Who Am I?
I am Dr. Katie Shaff and I have been a practicing naturopathic doctor in Washington State since 2004. I completed 2 years of family practice residency with Bastyr University (2004-2006) where I have continued to serve as clinical faculty.I live in Tacoma with my husband and two daughters. I am passionate about food, gardening, urban farming, and being a good human.
My career has seen many paths; I have had the pleasure of educating and learning along side of thousands of patients and students.
The one thing that I have learned is that the best medicine comes from understanding one's health and options for caring for that health.
It is my privilege to serve patients as an advocate for all that they are capable of achieving with their health. I am honest, sometimes that can seem rough, but when navigating the choices that can bring you closer to wellness, I am not the one that commits to do the work. If you are ready for a totally different approach to health and wellness, please join me.
