- Nutritional CounselingIrritable bowel, food sensitivities and acid reflux can all wreak havoc on our daily lives. Healthy gut flora is an important step in treating these conditions. Many allergies, auto immune conditions and anxiety can stem from the gut. We recommend specific stool tests and food sensitivity testing to get to the root of the cause.

- Family PracticeAt age 5, Dr. Shonna Christian was mesmerized by her father’s EMT medical books. Living in a rural area she was able to do ambulance ride alongs on less serious calls with him and remembers this increasing her interest in the human body. Dr. Shonna Christian graduated with her pre-med Bachelor’s Degree from Northern Arizona University 2006. After a significant injury with poor patient care, she was discouraged with today’s healthcare and decided to pursue her Masters in Health Psychology. During her Masters training in hypnosis for pain management, her mentor knew her desire to be a physician and advised her to look into the Naturopathic program at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine; from Which Dr. Shonna went on to receive her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine in 2012. She completed her Preceptorship in Family Practice with Partners in Healthcare Naturally.

- Mental HealthOne of my favorite tests we have in office is a neurotransmitter test. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers used by the nervous system to relay information from one nerve to another. When these are out of balance it can cause neurological or psychological symptoms. After doing a simple urine & saliva test, I will come up with a plan to correct the imbalances. Patients will see an improvement in mood, insomnia, impulsivity, anxiety, & depression. I have even helped patients come off of their psychiatric medications.

- BotoxDr. Shonna is licensed to administer BOTOX and Juvéderm injections to reduce moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. Both are simple, non-surgical treatments that can make you look fresher and younger in a short amount of time, making it a better choice over plastic surgery, which costs much more and takes much longer. BOTOX can also be used to treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating.
