MEET THE DOCTOR

Dr. Hancock obtained her doctorate of naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University.  She holds a BS with honors in Biology from West Virginia University.  Prior to attending naturopathic medical school, she spent several years working as a forest ecologist and obtained a MS in Forest Science.  Her love of the natural world combined with her empathic nature, strong desire to serve others, and curiosity about holistic approaches to healing drew her to the profession of Naturopathic Medicine.

After fulfilling her doctorate, Dr. Hancock completed two years of residency training.  This included a year in an integrative medicine residency at Natural Medicine Plus and Urgent Care Plus in Helena, MT.  During this year,  she worked closely with both naturopathic and conventional providers and had the opportunity to do rotations in dermatology, family medicine, gynecology, rheumatology, psychiatry, and urgent care.   Her second year of residency at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health in Seattle, WA continued to advance her training in primary care and naturopathic practice.

Dr Hancock has completed additional training in somatic and mind/body practices. She is certified as a focusing oriented practitioner and has also completed training in poly-vagal theory. She is passionate about the connection of nature to our nervous system and overall well-being and has offered nature based mindfulness classes at various parks and botanical gardens in the Puget Sound.

In her spare time, Dr. Hancock loves to explore the outdoors with her husband, Jason. They spend a lot of time in the Cascade Mountains hiking & backpacking in summer and cross-country skiing in winter.   She is a voracious reader, and also enjoys puzzles and needle point.
