Dr. Colleen Tyler

It was the fascination and beauty of our natural world that originally drew Dr. Colleen to naturopathic medicine. Now, as a doctor she strives to harness that natural healing power to create individualized and holistic treatments for her patients. Her ultimate goal is to spread the knowledge of health and wellness, enjoy healthy nourishing foods and to wake excited about the day ahead.

Dr. Colleen’s calling to become a natural healer started at a young age when she was given a small section of her mother’s garden to grow herbs. Understanding the magical healing powers of nature became more prevalent as she grew and spent time exploring the great outdoors. She gained healing knowledge along the way through a variety of adventurous activities that took her to both far off countries and long walks in the great backyard of Oregon’s landscapes. Her path led her to Oregon State University where she got a major in Biology with a minor in chemistry. At this point she knew she wanted to go into medicine but was not sure which path to go down. As she started looking into different medical schools she took some time to do a work study program at Herb Pharm in southern Oregon. Here her knowledge of medicinal plants grew and her drive to pursue naturopathic medicine blossomed. She was accepted into the naturopathic program at National College of Natural Medicine and continued her educational journey. While at NCNM she got a vast background in medicine with an emphasis on women’s health. After graduating she completed a 2 year certified post-doctoral residency training with A Family Healing Center, which emphasized primary care and pain management. As a family practitioner she has extensive training in women’s health, pain management, cardiovascular disease, nutrition counseling, thyroid management, and hormone balancing.

When she is not tending to her patients, she is a mother, an avid hiker, a pilot, an aerial artist, a gardening extraordinaire, and always ready for the next adventure.
