Uncover the benefits of a holistic approach to health.

I’ve wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember but I became an ND because I wanted to treat the cause rather than just masking symptoms. I love working with people to prevent diseases because prevention truly is the best medicine.
Dr. Charissa Bausch is a naturopathic physician with a focus in complementary oncology. She received her undergraduate degrees from Washington State University in Pullman, WA and went on to receive her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Sonoran University of Health Sciences (formerly Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine) in Tempe, AZ.
She was mentored by Dr. Cynthia Bye, ND, FABNO who was the only board certified naturopathic oncologist in southwest Washington. She is working towards becoming board certified as well.
In her free time, Dr. Bausch enjoys Olympic weightlifting, spending time with her husband and daughter, and hanging out with her cat and 2 dogs.
