Wayne Bonlie M.D. Medical Director
Dr. Bonlie trained as a family doctor. He has taken that specialty and focused it in Integrative Medicine. Dr. Bonlie is passionate about blending the best care available from multiple sources. He works to see the whole person to find the underlying imbalances that generate the symptoms / disease that surface . There have been a lot of steps along the way leading Wayne to his Integrative Medicine practice. He was raised in British Columbia with parents who were extremely health conscious. From a young age Wayne was extremely interested in science and how things worked. He went to college in Washington State and finished a graduate degree in Physiology and his medical degree at Loma Linda University in California. He had his first major shift after reading “Love, Medicine and Miracles” by Bernie Segal at the end of his first year of med school. This book lead Wayne to exploration in meditation, mind-body connection and a new way of viewing the world.
After residency,where he was chief resident, he ran a solo family practice clinic for nine years in Hoquiam, a small town at the base of the Olympic Peninsula. During that time he was medical director of the local hospice program and served a year as Medical Chief of Staff for a 99 bed hospital serving the needs of the county. During the difficult birth experience of their first daughter, Wayne and Cherry-Lee were introduced to Healing Touch therapy by an RN at the hospital’s special care nursery. This opened Wayne to energy medicine and led to further classes, workshops and experiences.
In 2004 Wayne accepted a position as Director of Research for a company developing a magnetic therapy device. This brought him and his family to the East Coast and allowed him to start seeing clients with an alternative and holistic focus – now his full time work. Attending many classes and seminars on Integrative Medicine he continues to learn daily about new therapies and health research. He finds great satisfaction in helping people find personal solutions to their health puzzles.
His interest is in helping patients find natural and alternative health practices that will complement and enhance their health and well-being, while still utilizing the best aspects of conventional medicine where appropriate.
Each person is unique, and conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and bioidentical hormone replacement requires unique care. Dr. Bonlie will work with you to tailor a regimen that will work for you and your personal health. He will take the time to really listen to you and allow you to really have a conversation about your health and time to have your questions answered.
