Dr. thao nguyen

My name is Thao Nguyen and I received my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University. As a child, I would often asked the question “why”? Not in a defiant manner but from a genuine deep curiosity. Pondering it now, I can see how invaluable this one word became to my future journey.

​

In 2010, my father exhibited drug-induced hepatitis in addition to other chronic conditions. At that time, he was taking eight different medications and not knowing “why”. I reviewed the list of medications and researched the mechanism of action and its side effects. My goal was to wean him off the prescriptions that I felt confident I could replace safely with dietary and lifestyle modifications. Within six months, my father’s liver enzymes returned to normal and I safely eliminated six out of the eight medications. I witnessed first-hand, what dietary/lifestyle changes can do and if we allow our bodies the chance to heal, most of the time it will.  He is now 85 years young, self-reliant, healthy and thriving. This journey with my father led me to discover Naturopathic Medicine.

​

During my time at Bastyr, I completed additional training in craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, kinesio taping, aromatherapy, foot reflexology and environmental medicine. My undergraduate degree focused on nutrition. In 2015, I completed the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) from California State University, Los Angeles.  At Zen Attitude Wellness, my focus is on nutrition and craniosacral therapy (CST) offering personalized visits that prioritize holistic health.

 

I approach nutrition and healing with an open mind, viewing the human body as an integral part of a larger ecosystem. My philosophy centers around simplicity: by addressing essential elements like sleep, nutrition and daily movement, we can significantly improve the majority of chronic health conditions. I believe healing should be enjoyable and accessible, making the journey towards wellness both effective and fulfilling.

 

Craniosacral therapy is a unique, gentle form of bodywork that bridges the realms of both physical palpation and energetic work. A Craniosacral Therapy session with me will assist your body in softening and releasing these areas of restriction.

 

I feel strongly about the importance of a client/provider connection that fosters the feeling of safety, where clients feel valued, seen and heard. It must be a good fit and in order to facilitate this, I offer a free 15-minute video consult with new clients.

 

When I am not in the clinic, you will find me exploring nature, bird watching and experimenting in the kitchen—often with the company of my two cats.
