Dr. Christine Willi graduated from Bastyr University with her doctor of naturopathic medicine degree in 2011. As a student she was selected to be a counselor at Bastyr’s Counseling Center and she worked as a yoga instructor for Bastyr’s Community Continuing Education Department. Upon graduating, she worked as a resident at Sound Naturopathic Clinic, then as a clinician at Kitsap Clinic of Natural Medicine. She established Bainbridge Natural Health in 2012.
Bainbridge Natural Health is a general practice where Dr. Willi works with patients of all ages. Areas of focus include: women’s health, fertility, sleep, allergies, anxiety, stress management, and disorders of the digestive system, endocrine system, and the nervous system. Patient education remains at the heart of her medical practice. She draws from her experience as a high school anatomy and physiology teacher, as an outdoor educator for 5th-8th graders, and as a yoga instructor. Dr. Willi works to create treatment plans using a holistic approach. It is her belief in the body’s ability to heal combined with gentle medicine that makes her practice the perfect blend of art and science.
Dr. Willi has called the Pacific Northwest home for the last 20 years. She grew-up in Peoria – “The Heart of Illinois” – and embraces her Midwestern roots by making an occasional casserole dish. She resides on beautiful Bainbridge Island with her two children and many houseplants. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, painting, and reading. A forever student, she has been learning Tai Chi, and continues to study yoga.
