Mentorship

Karley was a huge asset to my practice when I started.  I was completely alone in a rural town as a new grad and struggled to find the time to keep up to date with research while running a busy practice.  I was seeing many different conditions and was overwhelmed by the various naturopathic treatments we learned in school while also navigating when conventional treatment was necessary.  Karley mentored me for a large part of my first year and I could not have done it without her.  She has experience treating a wide range of conditions and is also up to date on the latest research. I felt confident providing treatment options she shared with me, knowing patients would get the results I was hoping for while also knowing it was evidence based. She often said that  'the treatment depends on the patient'--I found this challenging to wrap my head around at first, however she truly taught me the art of patient care using the science of naturopathic medicine. This is something that cannot be learned through following basic treatment algorithms but is key to growing a successful practice.  After five years in practice I still reach out if needed for challenging cases, and she somehow always has the answer or has treated various similar cases before. I will forever be grateful for her help and know that much of my clinic success is due to her teaching me how to treat each individual, how to stay up to date on research when you are busy, and years of clinical pearls that she generously shared.
