Dr. Connie Hernandez graduated from Bastyr University in Seattle in 1991 with specialties in women’s health care and counseling. With husband, Dr. Marcel Hernandez, she founded and coordinated Vermont’s Brattleboro Naturopathic Clinic. She co-founded Pacific Naturopathic, the first naturopathic clinic in Silicon Valley and Pacific Naturopathic Healing Retreat Center on the Big Island of Hawaii. Dr. Connie loves travel, ethnic cuisine, being with family and friends, and living in spiritual community.
Drs. Connie and Marcel were active in the naturopathic licensing efforts in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, as well as in California.
In California, Drs. Connie and Marcel founded and developed Pacific Naturopathic, the first naturopathic clinic on the San Francisco Peninsula. After 30 very successful years, they transferred ownership of the clinic and became independent contractors, in order to concentrate on patient care, rather than administration. Dr. Connie also has worked to develop an integrated clinic in Manila (the Philippines), and sees patients through that clinic as well.
Dr. Connie sees chronic and acute patients of all ages, with any type of complaint, but has a particular emphasis on women’s health care, peri-menopause and menopause, functional endocrinology and bio-identical hormones, adjunctive care for cancer patients, immunology, preventive medicine and spiritual counseling. She favors dietary and lifestyle change, nutritional supplementation, botanical medicine, flower essences and affirmation in her treatment protocols, and believes the deepest healing involves spiritual transformation.
Dr. Connie writes:
“In my work, I have been enriched by encounters with patients, inspired by colleagues and teachers I admire and respect, and supported by friends near and far. I offer my gratitude to each of them, and am grateful also for the service that each one of them uniquely offers to the world.”
