“For the first time in my life, I felt seen and heard. Not only did she ask questions that were thorough. She actually wanted to hear my responses. ?”

“It was a great visit! Macayla was very personable and listened to me intently. I felt that they were concerned about even my smallest questions/concerns, there was nothing that felt too small to mention. As a primary care provider everything was exactly what I was hoping for. ”

About Dr. Macayla Richards
Dr. Macayla is a warmhearted and enthusiastic physician who loves the whole spectrum of primary care and getting to know her patients to build strong healing relationships.
She knew from a young age that she wanted to work in healthcare; first as a veterinarian, then a psychologist, and finally as a naturopathic doctor. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics for her love of food before completing her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine and certificate of Naturopathic Obstetrics and Midwifery from the National University of Natural Medicine. She is proudly LGBTQ+ and loves to engage with Pride events as both community member and medical provider to increase health access.
She has extensive training in pediatrics, women's health, mental health and neurodiversity, and LGBTQ+ health - especially gender-affirming care. She has written case studies on women's health and fertility, domestic violence, and LGBTQ+ family-planning care. She loves working with patients to cultivate mental health self-care, especially in the setting of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. She uses the expansive options provided by naturopathic care to utilize self-care, mindfulness, nutrition, herbs, and pharmaceuticals to create individualized treatments for each of her patients.
When not in the clinic, Dr. Macayla can be found in her natural habitat at home cuddling with her dogs on the couch with a mug of tea and a good book or show. She also loves finding new and delicious food, kayaking, spinning yarn, crocheting, video and tabletop gaming, and spending time with her wonderful family and friends.

Great experience overall. The doctor was very positive, attentive, and genuinely caring. From the first impression, it felt more like a thoughtful conversation than a rushed routine checkup.
They asked detailed questions about my medical history and current concerns, were fully engaged, and carefully examined and documented everything as a thorough physician should. I especially appreciated the evidence-based approach - no guessing, no internet searches during the visit, no unnecessary supplements, herbs, or placebo-style recommendations (I had previous expirience with others).
Everything was explained clearly and thoughtfully.
Highly recommend, and I would absolutely come back.
