Blessed by Nature offers a kinder, gentler, safer way to get and stay well.

About me.

Blessed by Nature provides drug-free health care for those who opt out of modern medicine or want to incorporate a more natural approach into their current health care plan.

Hello, my name is Cathy Atkinson, and I’m a Traditional Naturopathic Doctor, Master Herbalist, and Owner of Blessed By Nature. My goal and commitment are to help and guide folks like you to connect the dots to keep and regain your health holistically. I love to help real people overcome real health issues by teaching and helping them use a more natural approach to healing.

I believe… we were made perfectly. Good health is available to everyone. We need to return to how we’ve all been Blessed By Nature. I can help.

I believe… we are created to be self-healing and self-regulating.

I believe… there is a kinder, gentler, safer approach to healing the whole body so we can get and stay well. Ideally, I prefer side benefits, not side effects. Natural medicine generally offers the first.

How it all began.

I first knew I wanted to be a nurse or doctor when I was a little girl of about 7 or 8. In a family with 3 big brothers and a neighborhood full of boys, my role became “the nurse” in our outdoor games of cops and robbers and any game where someone got hurt. (Yep, it was the 60s – what a great time to grow up. See how I date myself?) My medicine of choice was jellybeans – the yucky ones. After all, medicine was supposed to taste bad. Everyone got yucky jellybeans. Cured. We all went home. Lo and behold, I was the caregiver. I realized that much of what we do (in relationships and careers) starts early.

Also, from a young age, I spent lots of time in my dad’s, gram’s, and farmer’s greenhouses. Medicinal plants fascinated me. I didn’t know what to do with them, but I always picked weeds and flowers. Life got busy, and my dreams of being a doctor or nurse faded.

Fast forward…

Like many of you, life just got ‘lifey’. I got sick, stressed, injured, and had many health problems. Lots of doctor visits, tests, biopsies, and medicine, and I was told it was just stress. I wasn’t getting better. The day after I got shots in my feet to help me walk without pain (it didn’t happen), I visited the local health food store, and my life changed. For three months, I was walking pain-free.

That was the beginning of my passion for healing. But that indeed was the beginning since I had lots of health problems.

Are we a good fit?

Please read this. We need to know we can work together.

I love to help…

  • independent, open-minded folks like you who seek a common sense approach so you can get well naturally and stay well
  • folks like you who want to find the root cause of why they feel so bad so they can heal - whether it's a nasty rash, their blood pressure is out of control, or maybe they're just plain exhausted and don't know why
  • those of you who want to make the holistic approach in understanding how our body, mind, and soul work together and go a little deeper to heal at a deep level
  • folks who don't want to get pushed around the medical system loaded up with drugs and still feel bad
  • people who've been told 'there's nothing more we can do to help you and offered no hope
  • you learn how to get in touch with and understand what your body tells you
  • folks who choose to 'invest' in themselves and see the value in creating health

It’s hard to help…

  • folks who have closed minds and believe….they are 'special' and can't take a more "natural approach" because it's too hard, too much work, not scientific enough, and costs too much
  • people who want to talk about their health problems and not do anything about it
  • folks who wish to take a band-aid approach and keep doing what they've always done

It's your health and your responsibility.  If you think it takes too much time, trouble & expense to preserve it---try disease!

Say hello.

Experience what it’s like to feel better, every day, without side effects.
