All About Me

I’m Dr. Des Harris, a naturopathic doctor dedicated to helping individuals achieve optimal health and wellness through a holistic, science-backed approach. My journey to naturopathic medicine is deeply personal and shaped by my own health struggles. For many years, I battled autoimmune conditions, visiting doctor after doctor and specialist after specialist, only to be met with more questions and no clear answers. I was prescribed medication after medication, and when those medications caused side effects, I was given more to counter them. It became clear that masking symptoms wasn’t the solution, and I reached a point where I couldn’t continue the cycle any longer. I knew I had to make a change.

Determined to find a better way, I immersed myself in understanding the science of the human body, diving into the root causes of illness, and discovering the transformative power of naturopathic medicine. I don’t want anyone to feel the way I did—misunderstood, passed around, and uncertain of where to turn next. I’ve been there, and it’s that experience that drives me to guide you with compassion and expertise. My mission is to empower you to uncover the solutions that work best for your unique body and lifestyle.

I hold a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University, a Master’s in Biological Sciences, and a Bachelor’s in French Language & Literature with a minor in Chemistry. This blend of scientific expertise, cultural appreciation, and holistic healing allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level and offer a comprehensive approach to health. I specialize in gut health, hormone balance, nervous system regulation, and non-toxic living, and I’m committed to supporting you in taking control of your health and making sustainable, positive changes for lasting wellness.

When you work with me, I want you to feel like part of a team. You’ll be supported, empowered, and equipped with the tools and knowledge to confidently navigate your health journey. I believe true healing starts from within, and I’m here to offer personalized care that combines scientific rigor, intuition, and a genuine desire to help you thrive. Guided by my faith in God, I approach healing with a deep sense of purpose and compassion. I trust that each person’s path to wellness is unique, and I believe that the spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of health are all interconnected. As I walk alongside you on your healing journey, I am committed to supporting you in a way that honors you as a whole: mind, body, & spirit.

If you’re ready to make lasting health changes without the overwhelm, confusion, and contradictions often found in today’s wellness advice, I would be honored to guide you. Whether you’re working on gut health, balancing hormones, or transitioning to a non-toxic lifestyle, I’m here to make the process simple, effective, and tailored to your unique needs.

Let’s take this journey together.
