Our Mission
Bring the Mind-Body Connection back to Medicine
Health requires us to recognize what is going on with our mind, body, and even our spirit.
At Rebel Med NW, we recognize how our psychological patterns and stressors affect our body and how our bodies can affect our mental health in turn. The Mind and the Body have a two way connection system that has evolved to inform and affect each other.
Underlying all of our services, the providers at Rebel Med NW are deeply held to this idea and seek to help all of our patients build awareness and understanding as to how their Mind-Body connection is affecting their health. Then we work to provide you with the plan and tools that you can move forward with, feeling empowered, educated, and sustainable in your own health & longevity.
Our unique integrative and functional medicine clinic located in Ballard Seattle, WA provides a calming environment to balance your nervous system. As a Team owned and operated small business in the heart of the small business community of Ballard, Rebel Med NW is a proud supporter of the Ballard Alliance and other associated small businesses. We want all aspects of the Ballard community to feel safe, secure, and supported in their medical care but in our facility and when we support you in navigating the traditional medical system.
