Dr. Cara Lan has been practicing naturopathic medicine with an emphasis on homeopathy for over 16 years. She graduated from Sonoran University in Tempe, Arizona with her Doctorate of Naturopathy and has worked in community medicine focusing on family medicine and pediatrics and in private practice with a focus in mental health, chronic illness, and PANS/PANDAS. 

Dr. Lan has been passionate about medicine as well as alternative and integrative health modalities for most of her life. Growing up in Boulder, Colorado, she garnered an appreciation for nature and biology, which inspired her to pursue a bachelor’s degree in zoology. After college, she began working for a local herbal company producing botanical salves and tinctures for pregnant and lactating mothers and their babies. Her appreciation for, and interest in, botanical medicine grew which led her to pursue a career as a naturopathic doctor. 

Trained at Sonoran University as a naturopath as well as a classical homeopath, Dr. Lan continues to be amazed by the power of homeopathic medicine and the results she has seen in her patients, as well as with her own health and that of her friends and family. Homeopathy continues to be her main treatment modality simply because it works so well for so many people. In conjunction with homeopathy, Dr. Lan utilizes lifestyle medicine–including nutrition, movement, sunlight, and sleep–as well as mind-body medicine and herbal medicine. She is passionate about combining modern tools of medicine with the wisdom of nature and ancient healing traditions. She is beyond grateful for the tools of naturopathy and homeopathic medicine in raising her own kids and could not imagine parenting without these remedies. 

In addition to her passion for holistic medicine, Dr. Lan loves the outdoors, reading, staying active, painting, drawing, meditating and most of all, spending time with her two daughters, her pets, and her family and friends.
