Dr. Teri Jackson is a formally trained Naturopathic Physician licensed to practice medicine in the state of Hawaii.  She graduated from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington with a doctorate degree in Naturopathic Medicine where she trained with the most influential experts and pioneers of evidence-based natural medicine.  She received her undergraduate degree in Anthropology and Northwest Coast Archaeology from Portland State University and worked as a field archaeologist in SW Washington and NW Oregon during the 1990’s.  As an interesting and unexpected segue into the world of alternative health care, it was this experience of studying the diet and herbal traditions of native Northwest Coast tribes that led Dr. Jackson’s

passion for natural medicine.

​

Dr. Jackson’s philosophy of medicine is deeply rooted in the traditional healing systems of North America and Europe, where Naturopathic Medicine developed and began its evolution more than 200 years ago. She is skilled at integrating natural medical principles with modern, evidence-based therapies.  She utilizes therapeutic modalities such as botanical medicine, homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplements, individualized diets, body work and pharmaceutical medications to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. 

​

Dr. Jackson also has advanced training in integrative oncology by the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health (MTIH), and practices using the Metabolic Approach to Cancer as taught by Dr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO. While Dr. Jackson is not a board-certified oncologist and does not claim to treat cancer directly, she does work with cancer patients to support their overall resilience so that they may thrive in the context of their illness. She takes a whole-person approach as opposed to a tumor-centric approach, helping individuals regain their health in the face of what can be a terrifying diagnosis.

​

With a targeted approach that applies a combination of Functional Medicine and Naturopathic principles, she addresses hormone balance, detoxification, optimal digestion, and immune function. Skilled in working with patients suffering from chronic illness, many find that they can discontinue their medications while working with Dr. Jackson because their health improves so dramatically!

​

In her free time, Dr. Jackson takes advantage of the natural beauty and outdoor activities of Maui, such as swimming, snorkeling, paddling, and hiking. While relaxing at home, she enjoys gardening and preparing gourmet meals from the amazing local ingredients Maui has to offer and making herbal medicines from plants that she grows herself.
