Docere is latin for Doctor as Teacher and is one of the 6 tenets of Naturopathic care. It’s also the foundation for dr. kacy’s practice.
This tenet emphasizes the belief that when people understand their health, they are empowered to choose wellness. It also emphasizes the importance of creating a healthy doctor-patient relationship. -Dr. Kim Tippens, ND, LAc
It is in this understanding of docere where the essence of healing lies. dr. kacy and Quercus Natural Health are committed to providing tangible tools that bring your healing and wellness into your hands. We know that we must do the deep healing work from within and we are honored to support you to cultivate the tools that help you find your own unique medicine.
Through this work, you will better understand your own body, seasonality, signs of imbalances and will know how to nurture and tend to those imbalances. You will be able to shift course and heal much of what ails you without direct care.
dr. kacy is also committed to practicing this work within and healing alongside you. This work strives to provide compassionate and empowering healthcare to optimize function and prevent dis-ease.

Welcome to our virtual hearth! At Quercus Natural Health, we have seen how the oak tree grows from a small acorn into a magnificent, rooted being. It does not reach it’s fullness alone but connected to and communicating with the myriad organisms and beings, seen and unseen, within it’s environment and ecosystem.
In our response to the changing health care landscape where both patients and practitioners are being pushed away from care and service, respectively. Here we offer dedicated space for people in-all-their-forms to deepen their understanding of health, healing and healthcare in the context of our communities, social systems, and resources.
Our vision is young and sprouting, we would like to start by offering monthy live Salons, online, focused on specific health topic, theory, or frustration with our healthcare system and within our healing journeys allowing your voice to be an integral part our community’s growth and harvests.
These salons will be informal Q&A session facilitated by dr. kacy and other invited guests.We will not be answer specific health questions to your specific case as these salons are not group medical visits. The Salons are facilitated community gatherings to find ways-of-being that supports our healing and understanding of healthcare, medicine and community.
