I consider myself the country doctor who is living in the city. Family practice is my passion, treating the whole family.  I enjoy forming trusting relationships with the families I treat. 
From the beginning to the end I treat everything that comes up through the passage of life. 
My goal and promise to you, is to help you always feel the best you can be.  By committing to yourself, you are improving your life, as well as the lives of those around you. I look forward to getting to know you and your family. 

 

Dr. Jennifer Curtiss Naturopathic Physician

Dr. Curtiss graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine with honors in research.  During her medical education, she worked for the Helfgott Research Institute conducting research on naturopathic support for cancer patients.  She also coordinated the High School Outreach Program, providing health workshops to Portland’s youth.  She was awarded the NCNM Limelight award for her efforts in community education on topics of Naturopathic medicine. 

Dr. Curtiss completed a 3-year residency in a busy practice with her mentor, Dr. David Greenspan.  During that time she learned the art of functional medicine, supporting the body’s own systems to reach a healthy balance.  Her experiences allowed her to develop a specialty in hormone balance and fertility support for men and women.  As a mother of two boys, she has a strong passion for helping couples create healthy families using natural treatments and positive lifestyles.

Motivated by her passion for community wellness, Dr. Curtiss enjoys educating people on strategies for making improvements in their health and lifestyle. With the ultimate goal of preventing illness, she devotes much of her practice to teaching patients techniques on improving their sleep, energy, stress responses, nutrition, and exercise.

  Jessica Brunt, LMT, will be offering massage therapy sessions at the shoppe beginning in January. Her practice embodies her belief in the healing powers of massage, in whole living, in community, and in taking an active role in your health and well being. Jessica believes that if we listen, our muscles and joints have a lot to say; it is her job to help understand what it is they are telling us. Jessica's sessions tend to be a unique blend of therapeutic treatments which help to relax and balance the body.  Depending on the person and their needs, the session may consist of a combination of varying techniques; integrating a mix of deep tissue, movement therapies, and thai.  Whether you are looking for massage that embodies pain management, relaxation, an escape from the hectic stressful world, or for specific therapeutic work, it is her intention to provide you with the best therapies possible.   Jessica graduated from East/West school of the healing arts here in Portland, and is extremely grateful to offer treatment and relief to people who can benefit from massage, which is EVERYONE!  To book an appointment with her, please contact her directly at 503.821.9533 or visit her website at puranpdx.com.
