ABOUT THE DOCTOR
&
WHY NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE?

THE FULL STORY

Dr. Johnson has a strong passion for global health and has always been drawn to helping underserved populations. For her MPH thesis project, she completed a sustainable water purification system at an orphanage in rural Kenya with International Health Initiatives.org. During her undergraduate career she completed medical mission trips with Global Medical Brigades in Honduras and Panama. Her most recent publication includes Project H.O.P.E. (Homelessness in Osteopathic Predoctoral Education), with Nova Southeastern University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, a curriculum designed to bridge the gap between healthcare and homelessness.

​

Dr. Johnson found her calling in naturopathic medicine through her personal experience with a lifetime of chronic allergies. For the first time in her life she found relief through diet and lifestyle changes that were introduced to her while traveling abroad. Her decision to specialize in oncology became clear during her second year of medical school when a close family member was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer which, since then, has been managed successfully by naturopathic medicine.

In her free time, Dr. Johnson enjoys painting, hiking, biking, snowboarding, nature, traveling, and spending time with her husband, daughter, family and friends.
