ABOUT DR. RAYNA KATZ

Welcome! I am Dr. Rayna Katz, and I am here to guide you on your journey to optimal well-being through holistic, natural medicine. My personal healing journey began in Scottsdale, Arizona, where I first faced painful menstrual cycles and suspected endometriosis in my youth. After being prescribed oral contraceptives, I experienced side effects like headaches, IBS, liver concerns, and anxiety, which led me to explore natural methods of healing. 

​

This challenge sparked my passion for nutrition and using food as medicine. Raised in a family where food was love, I embraced the power of cooking and its ability to heal. Through diet changes and acupuncture, I transformed my health and found my calling in helping others do the same. 

I earned a degree in Nutrition with a focus on Dietetics from the University of Arizona where I coached individuals, taught cooking classes, and launched local Farmers Markets. My desire to expand beyond nutrition brought me to naturopathic medicine.

​

I started exploring possible naturopathic medical schools and my journey soon led me to Washington to attend Bastyr University for medical school. I was resolute in not only earning my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine but also obtaining my Masters in Acupuncture, a practice I already knew and loved. This was my way of adding more tools to my arsenal to help my future patients and see medicine through multiple lenses and philosophies.
