About Me

I’m Jessica Pirkey, ND, a naturopathic physician who believes that healing happens best when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to understand their own bodies.

My work sits at the intersection of evidence-based medicine, nourishment, nervous system regulation, and the deep wisdom of listening — to symptoms, to patterns, and to lived experience. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all protocols or rigid wellness rules. I believe in care that is thoughtful, individualized, and thorough.

Working Together

People often come to me when they are:

• Tired of feeling dismissed or rushed

• Ready to take care of themselves in a more sustainable way

Whether we work together one-on-one or in a group setting, my goal is to create care that feels comprehensive and deeply respectful of your lived experience.

Healing doesn’t require perfection.
It requires attention, support, and the right scaffolding.

I’m glad you’re here.

Areas of Focus

My clinical interests include:

• Nutrition as medicine, without restriction or fear

• Digestive and metabolic health

• Women’s Hormonal health

• Stress physiology and nervous system regulation

• Preventive care and sustainable lifestyle change

I also have a strong interest in group medical visits and community-based care, which allow people to learn, heal, and reflect together — often in ways that are deeply relieving and unexpectedly powerful.

My Approach

I practice naturopathic medicine with a strong foundation in clinical science, while honoring the reality that health is shaped by far more than lab values alone. Stress, relationships, food access, trauma, time, and meaning all matter — and they deserve space in the healing process.

My approach is:

• Collaborative, not prescriptive

• Root-cause focused, without losing sight of symptom relief

• Structured, but never rigid

I’m especially drawn to work that helps people step out of cycles of overwhelm and self-blame and into a steadier, more trusting relationship with their bodies.

Empowered Health

Empowered Health is the philosophy that we are not broken systems in need of fixing, but intelligent bodies asking for the right conditions to heal.

Through programs like my nutrition reset and group medical visits, Empowered Health emphasizes:

• Education over restriction

• Simplicity over perfection

• Consistency over intensity

• Curiosity over judgment

These offerings are designed to feel supportive and accessible — creating structure without triggering rigidity, and clarity without overwhelm.

My Training

I received my doctorate in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University and completed a family medicine residency, grounding my work in both integrative and conventional medical frameworks. I continue to engage in ongoing education and clinical collaboration to ensure my care remains current, ethical, and evidence-informed.
