Dr. Amy Curtis, ND
INTEGRATIVE PRIMARY CARE & COMPLEX CHRONIC ILLNESS CARE IN BALLARD
Dr. Amy Curtis provides person-centered, trauma-aware primary care and complex case management for adults of all genders at One Connection Healthcare in Ballard, Seattle.
Meet Dr. Amy Curtis
My background in public health helps shape my understanding of the complexities of health, wellness, and dis-ease. My outlook on health acknowledges both individual factors and the effects of community and societal structures.
My own experiences within the healthcare system—as both a patient and a caregiver—eventually brought me to naturopathic medicine. It was a natural progression on my path toward helping others reduce suffering.
Today, I provide primary care, problem-focused care, and complex chronic illness management for adults. My goal is to be a safe medical home for people who have felt dismissed because their symptoms do not fit neatly into a diagnosis.
Person-Centered, Nonjudgmental & Trauma-Aware Care
My approach is person-centered, nonjudgmental, and trauma-aware. I am grateful to have access to a variety of tools, and I see my role as providing education and guidance about how we can use the options available to us.
I do not believe there is one right way to approach health or a one-size-fits-all solution. My role is to learn about your needs and preferences, explain your options, and help guide you along the path you choose.
I am committed to providing unconditional respect to every individual, wherever they are in their health journey. Whether we are working to create greater stability in a chronic condition or addressing an acute illness, I want you to have the information and support needed to make the healthcare choices that are right for you.
I also have experience working with patients who have recovered from or are currently in recovery from an eating disorder. Although I do not focus on eating-disorder management, I take great care to avoid recommendations centered on weight loss or restrictive diets.
Areas of Clinical Focus
-
I provide care for adults seeking primary care, problem-focused care, or complex chronic illness management.
For patients looking for a primary care physician, I can provide ongoing preventive care, routine health assessments, laboratory evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and support for acute and chronic concerns.
For those already working successfully with a primary care physician, I can provide specialized or targeted care for a particular concern while coordinating with other members of your healthcare team.

I provide gender-affirming care within my training and scope of practice, although I am not a specialist in transgender medicine.
My goal is to offer respectful, person-centered care and to collaborate with or refer to specialized clinicians when a patient’s needs extend beyond my expertise.
-
I care for patients navigating chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, post-infectious syndromes, post-COVID or long COVID, mold and mycotoxin illness, other environmentally acquired illnesses, and chronic infections.
These conditions are often complex and may not fit neatly into one diagnosis. I take time to gather a detailed history, review relevant testing, and identify safe, effective ways to help patients work toward greater stability and improved quality of life.
-
I support patients navigating hormonal and reproductive concerns, including PCOS, painful or irregular periods, hormonal imbalances, thyroid concerns, pelvic floor dysfunction, perimenopause, and menopause.
My goal is to help you better understand what may be influencing your symptoms and explore options that reflect your needs, preferences, and health goals.
-
For several years, I have worked with patients who have hypermobility spectrum disorders, including HSD and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, as well as associated concerns such as dysautonomia and mast cell activation syndrome.
Because these conditions can affect multiple systems and vary considerably from person to person, I use detailed case-taking, laboratory evaluation, imaging when appropriate, and each patient’s lived experience to guide care.
-
I work with patients experiencing digestive concerns including GERD, SIBO/SIFO, IBS, inflammatory bowel disease, and other persistent gastrointestinal symptoms.
Digestive concerns often intersect with other aspects of health. My approach considers those connections while developing an individualized plan that may draw from pharmaceuticals, herbs, supplements, nutrition, nervous-system support, and collaboration with other specialists.
Background, Credentials, and Clinical Experience
My journey began in Florida, where I studied community health and education. It eventually brought me to Bastyr University, where I earned my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree in 2019.
After graduation, I completed a two-year residency at One Connection Healthcare. My residency focused on primary care and complex, sometimes mysterious chronic illness.
During medical school, I pursued additional training in hands-on approaches intended to address pain, stress, and reduced vitality, including craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, hydrotherapy, and trigger-point injections.
After years of working with people living with complex chronic illness, I continue to learn how to prioritize what matters most in helping each patient live a full and meaningful life. My training and ongoing education help me discern safe and effective ways to support patients in achieving their health goals.

What Working With Dr. Curtis Looks Like
My goal is to provide a safe, thoughtful environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I use a detailed, evidence-based process while recognizing that no single approach will be right for every person.
-
01. Understanding the Whole Picture
I use detailed case-taking, imaging, and laboratory evaluation to gather the information needed to understand your health concerns.
Your symptoms are only one part of the picture. Your experiences, priorities, preferences, resources, and limitations also help shape our approach.
-
02. An Individualized Treatment Plan
My practice draws from a blend of tools, including pharmaceuticals, botanical medicine, nutraceuticals and supplements, injection therapies such as IV nutrients or trigger-point injections, hands-on therapies, and neurofeedback.
A broad toolkit gives us options, but it does not mean that every tool is right for every person. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs, preferences, and limitations.
-
03. Education, Choice & Collaboration
I believe in informing and empowering you to make the choices that are right for you. We will discuss the available options and determine together what feels appropriate and achievable.
I also have experience working alongside specialists and other healthcare professionals to develop coordinated, well-rounded plans of care.
