The clinic was founded in 2018 by Dr. Anna Elperin, DO, grounded in understanding the whole individual, not just their “problem” or “disease”, looking for the root cause of the illness, not just masking the symptoms.

“My story. My name is Dr. Anna Elperin. I finished my undergraduate training in New York City where I was involved in several clinical research studies, as an undergraduate student. In 2010, I moved from NYC to Ellensburg WA with my husband and my toddler daughter, to attend medical school at a Pacific Northwest University in Yakima. My son was born between years three and four of medical school. I had two kids under the age of 5, while attending medical school full time. My self-care practice was very limited at that time. I kept on pushing my body, like I was some sort of superhuman. I was running on a year’s worth of low on energy and sleep and really high on stress, anxiety, and emotional deprivation. I lived on processed food and Lean Cuisine, washing 4-8 cans of Sugar Free Redbull through my body. And then, at the age of 30….I got diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer.

I got lucky, it was my blessing in disguise. My diagnosis began a PASSIONATE LIFE- LONG journey of the importance of nutrition, mindfulness, spirituality and yoga as a part of the overall health perspective.”
