Dr. Eve Harmony is a 2006 graduate of Bastyr University in Seattle, and has held her medical license continuously since then. She discovered the healing power of Naturopathic Medicine after overtreatment with antibiotics for common illnesses left her “either sick, or on antibiotics.” With the use of only a handful of herbs, nutrients, and a simple dietary change, she was able to exit the antibiotic treadmill and enjoy the vitality she knew she deserved. Her passion for helping others by “treating the cause” of disease, rather than masking or suppressing symptoms, was born from this experience.
During medical school, Dr. Harmony (then, Rockafellow) pursued deep learning in the energetic/emotional/spiritual arts of Shamanism and Craniosacral Therapy. After taking all the classes, and then assisting with teaching in all 3 levels of craniosacral therapy, Dr. Harmony had become the student “go-to” expert on the subject and volunteered to run practice labs for students to hone their skills with her supervision and support.
When starting her practice, Dr. Harmony chose to focus on a combination of Craniosacral Therapy and Shamanic Healing to support people with their mental and emotional health needs. While guided by her intuitive skills, she took patients on a journey of discussion with their pain to discover how to heal. Dr. Harmony’s practice grew through word of mouth, and she stayed busy, but she longed for the other aspects of medicine that her schooling had taught her.
With a desire to rekindle her skills in prescribing nutritional supplements, herbs, and lifestyle therapies, Dr. Harmony found herself in a residency-type position working with an experienced family practice MD who had a Functional Medicine approach. Under his mentorship, she developed her skills with Hormone Replacement, Peptide Therapy, joint and soft tissue injections with Prolotherapy and PRP, Ozone therapies, and Biologics therapies. Her next position in a popular regenerative medicine clinic in Santa Barbara helped hone these skills even further, and again, with word of mouth from happy clients, Dr. Harmony doubled the practice’s patient load and revenue in her time there.
After 7 years of focusing on Functional Medicine, Dr. Harmony found herself again longing to incorporate all of her skills and talents, and she began the search for a clinic that would support her eclectic mix of talents and interests in patient care. The varied services offered by NatureMedica proved to be a perfect fit for the Tucson native, who is happily returning “home” to the desert and her family.
Dr. Harmony’s favorite principle of Naturopathic Medicine is “Docere,” which means, “Doctor as teacher.” She believes that when people understand the reasons for new therapies and approaches, they are more likely to stick with the plan and be successful. For this reason, Dr. Harmony avidly consumes medical literature and shares new insights with patients in an understandable and relatable way.
