Sheila Mitchell, MD
Board Certified in Family Medicine

Dr. Mitchell is the founder of Spirit of Health Wellness Clinic and Learning Center. She is extremely happy to see her vision for an integrative clinic of holistic practitioners come to fruition.

After practicing in larger medical groups for over fourteen years, Dr. Mitchell decided to do it her way, creating an environment where patients can participate in the healing process on all levels, including mind, body and spirit. This inclusive aspect of health care is particularly important for Dr. Mitchell, who travels frequently to South America to explore traditional, indigenous methods of healing.

Dr. Mitchell cares for the entire family, from providing wellness exams to attending to compex medical problems. She enjoys taking a holistic approach to health and collaborating with alternative providers for your health.

Kipp Bajaj
N.D. (Naturopathy), LAc. (Acupuncture)

Naturopathic physicians are licensed primary care providers, who use a ‘holistic’ approach to treating health and disease. A naturopathic doctor believes that the body—all living systems, really--has an inherent power to heal, and that through the gentle application of therapies, the physician can help guide a patient to health. A naturopathic doctor strives to treat the whole person, addressing not just the physical, but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of life. The goal is health optimization.

Dr. Bajaj completed his medical training at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM), where he received his Doctorate in Naturopathy. He is also a graduate of NCNM’s Classical Chinese Medicine program, where he received his Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine. Following his studies, Dr. Bajaj completed a naturopathic residency in family medicine, in Portland, Oregon.

Dr. Bajaj employs a variety of therapeutic approaches in his practice, including diet and exercise therapy, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture, Classical Homeopathy, and counseling.
