Meet Dr. Van Buren
About Me.
New to Maryville, Missouri, I have spent the past 12 years in graduate & medical school Portland, Oregon & then working as a Naturopathic Physician & Nutritionist in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. My last 6 years of schooling were rich in world travel & volunteer medical work, so it would only make sense that my husband & I were caught out of the country (in Costa Rica!) during the March 2020 flight shutdowns. We made a life there & now have two dual-citizen children. I am originally from N. Missouri & have family here. I am excited to finally be bringing Naturopathic Medicine, Whole Foods Nutrition, & Homeopathy to the Midwest!
