Meet Dr. Mika
Dr. Mika Bassett graduated cum laude in psychology from University of Puget Sound. Her studies included an emphasis in exercise physiology and pre-medical sciences. Recognizing her passion for natural medicine and a holistic approach to healing, Dr. Mika completed a four-year doctoral program in naturopathic medicine, and is licensed in the State of Idaho as a Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD). While attending naturopathic medical school, Dr. Mika became inspired both by an introductory course in Chinese Medicine, as well as through her own experience of the effectiveness of acupuncture and qi gong (a Chinese medical healing art similar to tai ji). She went on to complete a four-year Master of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM) program and is a licensed acupuncturist (LAc).
Dr. Mika offers a full spectrum of care, and has specialized training in women’s health care, as well as in the treatment of pain and injury, neurological conditions, immune disorders, stress-related conditions and digestive disorders.
Her passion is in combining intuition with knowledge and skill to provide excellent acupuncture treatments, and to design effective, patient-specific treatment programs.
Dr. Mika is passionate about helping each patient achieve optimal health so they may reach their full potential in their family, community and beyond.
