MEET MEL

  • MEL DEBOER, RN, CRRN, NHP

    Hello Wild Ones! I’m Mel, Registered Nurse and Naturopath here at Rooted in the Wild.

    I opened this practice to revolutionize the healthcare system and bring about wellness through physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Following a decade of bedside acute nursing, I studied Naturopathy at the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education and herbalism at Evolutionary Herbalism. My path led me to the study of Ayurveda in Sri Lanka and breathwork training in Estonia through Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System.

    I am also a homeschooling mother of three wildings, small scale farmer, and lover of foraging. At Rooted in the Wild, I offer a comprehensive and individualized protocol for each client based on personalized needs and health goals. I look forward to working with you!

    Wild Blessings,
    Mel
