About Me

Hello. I have many names, Mom, wife, friend and Dr. Chelsea Gordon. Who am I? Honestly, I’m your average mom struggling with all your average life things: Parenting, Marriage, Work-Life Balance.

I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and owner of Flourish Family Medicine which is located in Mill Creek, WA. I graduated from Bastyr University in 2011 and completed a pediatric residency in Carnation, WA. 

In addition to being a physician and small business owner, I am also a certified lactation educator (CLE) and adjunct faculty at Bastyr University and previously taught a nutrition course at the University of Bridgeport in their masters program for 8 years!

My husband and I just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary and we have 3 amazing kids!

Being a mom has taught me so very much and has even made me a better Doctor!

I opened Flourish Family Medicine in June 2016 and time is flying by. I invisioned opening a clinic where patients had a voice in their healthcare and were not just a number in the books or another slot on the schedule.  And I am confident that we have done just that. And quite frankly, I freaking love my job!

If you have been following me for on Instagram you may know that I love giving you an inside look into my kitchen (#whatsindrgordonskitchen), sharing stories and pictures about my family and showing you products, companies that my family uses or has tried out with #tryittuesday posts.

My goal with this personal Instagram page is share some insight into my life as a Mom & Doctor.  For more health education and practice updates and info please follow the practice Instagram @flourishfamilymedicine

Why did I start this Blog?

I am a typical mom of 3 who just so happens to be a Naturopathic Doctor and I’m inviting you to share in my journey as I strive to create more balance in my life, create a healthier home and evaluate what is #mamadocapproved .
