Meet Dr. Andy Turner, ND
Naturopathic Doctor in Portland, Oregon
Reproductive & Hormonal Health | Feminist Medicine
My work is rooted in the belief that health is more than the absence of disease. It is a return to wholeness. It's about remembering who you are, reconnecting with your body's wisdom, and having the space to feel nourished, seen, and empowered in your own choices.
I'm a naturopathic physician in Portland, Oregon, with a clinical focus on reproductive and hormonal health, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and childfree wellness. While much of my work centers on women's health, I welcome people of all ages and genders, including children, families, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
​
This is medicine that goes beyond the conventional doctor's visit. It's personal, in-depth, and specialized care that makes space for your whole story, not just your symptoms. Together, we explore the layers of your health with curiosity and intention, recognizing that your body, experiences, and relationships are deeply interconnected.
​
My approach weaves together evidence-informed medicine, traditional healing practices, and a deep respect for each person's lived experience. Through integrative pelvic therapy, abdominal and uterine massage, Embodied Alignment, herbal medicine, song healing, and ritual, I offer different pathways to explore your health and deepen your connection with yourself.
​
I believe good medicine begins with listening. Whether you've felt unheard in healthcare or are simply seeking a different approach, my role is to walk beside you as you reconnect with your body, your power, and your place in the world.
My path into medicine has never followed a single thread. It has been woven through public health, midwifery, herbal medicine, yoga, and a deep curiosity about the relationships between our bodies, the natural world, and one another.
My years studying pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period helped shape my understanding of care as something deeply relational. These experiences drew me toward a matriarchal vision of medicine, one that values the wisdom of our bodies, the experiences of our elders, and the collective responsibility of caring for mothers, babies, and one another.
Through naturopathic medical school, clinical residency, and continued study of movement and traditional healing practices, I've come to appreciate that medicine can be both scientifically grounded and deeply personal. There is room for clinical knowledge alongside intuition, ritual, embodied experience, and the healing potential of human connection.
Today, these many threads come together in a practice that reflects not only what I've learned, but the kind of healthcare I hope to help create: thoughtful, collaborative, rooted in community, and responsive to the whole person.
Feminist Medicine
Your body belongs to you.
Your voice belongs in every conversation about your care.
I practice medicine through a feminist lens, recognizing that healthcare is never separate from the social systems in which it exists. I'm attentive to the ways power, bias, and systemic inequities have historically dismissed, harmed, or excluded women, trans and gender-diverse people, and marginalized communities.
​
I believe your lived experience deserves to be taken seriously. You are the expert on your own body, and decisions about your health should be rooted in informed choice, consent, and mutual respect, without coercion, shame, or paternalism.
​
My approach is evidence-informed, trauma-informed, weight-neutral, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in collaboration rather than hierarchy. You don't need to have it all together or know exactly what you need before walking through my door. There's room here for your questions, your experiences, and all the complexities of being human.
The Many Ways We Heal
​My understanding of health reaches beyond conventional definitions of medicine.
In my clinical work, I draw from naturopathic medicine, botanical therapies, nutrition, movement, and integrative pelvic care.
Beyond the clinic, I facilitate circles, retreats, and opportunities for shared learning and connection.These practices may look different, but they're rooted in the same belief: that wellbeing is deeply personal, profoundly relational, and shaped by the world around us.
I'm continually learning from my patients, my community, the natural world, and the many traditions that inform my work.
