Dr. Hayes grew up in Arkansas, and through her life experiences and travels around the world, a theme began to emerge – she loved helping people. She strives for her patients to feel heard and supported in their treatment visits. As an avid listener, Dr. Hayes enjoys engaging with patients to empower them on their unique, individual healing journey. She views herself as a guide to help her patients achieve greater wellness. Dr. Hayes don’t believe in masking symptoms, but rather supporting their inner vitality to arise.  

Dr. Haye brings a unique style of medicine into her treatments with tools of both Eastern and Western medicine. Trained in two disciplines – Naturopathic medicine and Classical Chinese medicine – she combines these ancient techniques with modern research. She can incorporate acupuncture treatments, as well as naturopathic supplements and lifestyle suggestions. 

One area that Dr. Hayes has a great passion for treating is gastroenterology and helping people achieve optimal digestive health. She loves treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as well as many other digestive disorders. One particular cause of IBS can be a disorder called Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). She has helped many patients with this condition. If you are struggling with IBS or any other digestive complaint, then Dr. Hayes can certainly help.  

One patient population that she has found a niche in treating is babies and children with digestive complaints. Dr. Hayes loves working with kids and their parents to help them get their digestion back to a healthy, balanced place. If your child is struggling with tummy aches, constipation, or skin issues (which are often tied to digestive imbalances), then she can certainly help them too.  

When not practicing medicine, Dr. Hayes enjoys spending time with her wife and our two daughters. We enjoy hiking with our dogs, camping and backpacking throughout the Northwest, going to Portland Fire and Thorns games, and cooking wonderful meals with friends.
