Testimonials 

Chell S. 

"Dr. Deane is exactly what I have been searching for. Helpful. knowledgeable. and concerned with the root of the problem and solving it. Not just masking symptoms and problems. I love when you find a doctor that is a good fit...it is rare. Thanks for all you do and helping people take charge of their health and bodies."

Rebecca W.

"Dr. Karissa is kind, compassionate, and deeply cares for both the health and well-being of her patients. She is the first Doctor that I have felt truly listens to me and respects my individual experiences and process. I would recommend her care and services in a heartbeat. I feel very lucky to have her in my corner."

Jillian P.

"I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Deane in Portland, Oregon. She was my first introduction to naturopathic medicine. I was struggling with hormonal imbalances that manifested as cystic acne. I also had anxiety that made it difficult to exist in most social situations. What I most appreciated about Dr. Deane's care is she truly listened to what I was experiencing with no judgment. It was like she pulled out a map, I pointed to the destination and then we went over all the different avenues I could take to get there. While working with Dr. Deane I learned to become an advocate for my own health, which I am now able to pass on to my daughter. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Deane. I highly recommend her business and am confident in her healing abilities."

We've discovered a lot about me in the short time I have been in her care, and I am already seeing improvements. I look forward to my health journey with Dr. Dunlap by my side. 5 stars!"

"Dr. Corina Dunlap is a wonderful health advocate. As an ND, she is thoughtful, holistic, and reviews all of your health, history, habits, and goals. She's very thorough and accessible. She'll readily seek other medical pros if warranted. She's very tech-savvy and well-versed on the latest trends as well as tried & true healing protocols.""

Chena I.

"I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Dunlap. I spent years struggling with the fallout caused by regular doctors having put me on harmful and needless medication for decades. Now, after only a few short months in Dr. Dunlap's care, I'm already starting to heal. The change is incredible. On top of the fact that she is the most truly knowledgeable doctor I've found, she's also the kindest. Here is a person who is clearly passionate about helping people get well in a whole and lasting way."

Testimonials

Renata H.


"I absolutely have loved working with Haley. She listened to our story and diligently worked with us to get all of our labs done. She was incredibly approachable throughout the process and made everything super clear so that we could understand every piece of information. She then created a comprehensive supplementation plan for both my husband and me. We stayed on top of our protocol daily and at the end of month 3 we got a positive pregnancy test! Haley really helped me understand the ways I needed to make modifications in my diet and lifestyle so that my body could feel safe to conceive and carry a pregnancy."

 

Hannah M.

"If you’re looking to dive deeper into fertility and balancing your hormones...Haley is a wealth of knowledge. She explains results in depth with an action plan following. I feel so much more confident knowing my results and having a plan to heal further."

Janaye H.

"Working with Haley was the experience I didn’t know I needed until I was already in it. I started working with her at a time in my life where I really needed direction to move forward with loving myself and working through traumas that created mental blocks in regards to starting a family. 6 months later I’m pregnant (surprise!) and in a much better mental space with tools to help me continue to do the work that I need. I cannot recommend Haley enough. So glad I took the leap to make much needed change."

Kia C.

"Where do I even begin? Haley has been such a blessing! I have been working with her for almost 5 months, and it is hard to put into words just how much she has impacted my life already. As an expert in fertility, she has taught me so much about my body, opening my eyes to the poetic beauty of the female anatomy and unlocking a feminine intuition I didn’t even know I had. Haley has turned my lonely 2 year journey of shame and despair into one of HOPE, filled with outcome based actions that are specific to my needs! She creates a safe, loving space to be vulnerable and receive information, while tenderly holding me accountable and wrapping me in support. She goes above and beyond to understand the root cause of everything I am experiencing, often doing extra research to confirm and validate the resources she is providing and individualizing them to my needs. Her knowledge and acumen (she is a wealth of information), paired with her tangible passion and natural ability to form compassionate, authentic connection, make her a true advocate for this work!! My husband and I refer to her as our Fertility Angel, because that is what she is! Thank you Haley, for all that you do and all that you are!"
