Dr. Ballew's Philosophy

Lasting health comes from understanding the root cause.

Dr. Ballew believes lasting health comes from understanding the root cause of illness, not simply suppressing its symptoms. Every patient is seen as a whole person — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions all matter when developing a healing plan.

Dr. Ballew specializes in gentle, non-toxic therapies including clinical nutrition, botanical (herbal) medicine, homeopathy, and lifestyle counseling — all customized to each patient.

About Dr. Ballew

25+ years of healing.

Dr. Taraneh Ballew earned her B.Sc. from the University of Toronto and completed four years of doctoral study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. She was among the very first naturopathic doctors granted licensure when California became the 12th state to license NDs in 2004. She brings over 25 years of clinical experience to every patient relationship.

Her practice is built on the conviction that the body has an inherent capacity to heal — and that the physician's role is to remove obstacles to that healing while providing the right support. She sees patients via secure video appointments, making care accessible no matter where you are in California.

"I see my patients as a whole — with consideration given to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions when developing their personalized healing plan."
