About Dr. Richardson

Dr. Chelsey Richardson, an esteemed graduate from the University of Washington, holds a Doctorate in Nursing Practice and stands as a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Over a dedicated 18-year career in healthcare, Chelsey has woven a tapestry of experience that encompasses hospitals, family practices, walk-in clinics, telemedicine, and selfless contributions in women's clinics.

Two decades ago, personal health challenges, notably hypothyroidism, coupled with witnessing close family members navigate autoimmune conditions, kindled Chelsey's deep commitment to holistic wellness. This led her to Functional Medicine—an integrative, personalized approach that prioritizes addressing the root causes of ailments over merely managing symptoms.

At the heart of Chelsey's approach is the essence of Functional Medicine: recognizing the body as a complex, interconnected system. By targeting foundational health imbalances and emphasizing individualized lifestyle interventions, she aims to unlock the body's inherent healing capabilities.

With a spirit anchored in hope and a drive fueled by her commitment to holistic well-being, Chelsey treasures moments with her family, appreciates the natural splendors of the Pacific Northwest and dedicates time to gardening and continuous learning in health. Her mission is to guide others toward healing, allowing them to realize their potential and lead lives filled with vitality. Believing that healing is a journey, often enhanced with faith, Chelsey is eager to support you on your path to holistic health.
