Dr. Manter is a licensed naturopathic physician, holding her medical license in the state of Arizona. She has been passionate about nutrition, public health and wellness since an early age. She started her career working as paramedic in Northern California. While she loved the work, she wanted a completely different lens through which she could help patients—ultimately trying to prevent the chronic disease and emergent conditions she was seeing on a daily basis. She studied nutrition and its impacts on an individual’s metabolism and disease risk as a pre-med student, graduating from UC Berkeley with a Bachelors of Science degree in Nutritional Science with an emphasis on Physiology and Metabolism and went on to graduated magna cum laude from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. She has special interests in mental health and digestive concerns, though sees a wide range of conditions in her practice.
