Why Choose Roots & Rivers Naturopathic?

...Because quality care takes quality time and an individualized approach.  This means focusing on sustainable lifestyles to live long & well so you can spend time & money doing what you love (family, work, leisure, etc.). 


We use an innovation through tradition approach.  By offering multiple drugless therapies for health, we use time tested strategies passed down through generations of naturopaths for effective and sustainable health. Our non-invasive specialties include Hydrotherapy, Diet & Nutrient Therapy (e.g. Food Intolerances), Physical Medicine, Homeopathy, and more. 


Our medical approach is to:

  1. Identify and treat nutritional deficiencies
  2. Remove toxicity and inflammation
  3. Allow the body to heal itself naturally


Our mission is to help people become healthy as close to naturally as possible.  This means we aim to be Hormone-Free, Synthetics-Free, and Drug-Free as the ideal. As a private medical provider, we aim to do medicine the way we want to see it: with an individualized approach and longer visits.  The insurance model does not fit this goal well.  Therefore, we are a self-pay clinic.  


Did you know the term doctor comes from the Latin docere meaning 'to teach'? Hence, we are unique in that we offer longer appointment visits with the doctor for each patient than the standard model.  Our downtown Wenatchee office has a sunny, 3-bed Hydrotherapy Suite for outpatient services including Constitutional Hydrotherapy (C.H.T.) for safe & gentle detox.   


Discover natural and holistic approaches to wellness with our range of services and products. We are excited to work with you!
