Ph.D., ND
Dr. Elabbadi supervises student clinicians in the Department of Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr Center for Natural Health.
"I value patient-centered integrative medicine. A person’s overall health as a sum of their physical, mental and emotional states. Accordingly, I am committed to working with patients in identifying the underlying cause(s) of their illness, supporting them with safe and effective therapies during their healing journey, and empowering them to achieve their optimal health.
Dr. Elabbadi completed a residency at Bastyr Center for Natural Health in 2014. Previously she has worked as a senior research fellow at the University of Washington and as a research scientist and postdoctoral fellow at Boston College. Her research involved vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease and the effects of caloric restriction on brain tumor growth. Her research background led her to value the role of diet and lifestyle in the initiation and progression of disease. She has additional training in craniosacral therapy.
