Dr. Rebecca Sornson (she/her) is a naturopathic physician and co-founder of Hearth Natural Medicine along with her husband, Joshua Kraetsch.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Health Psychology, Rebecca worked as an organic farmer, a massage therapist, a farm-to-table cooking class instructor, and helped run a summer camp for teenagers. Through these adventures, Rebecca's respect and interest in individuals' healing journeys grew and deepened.

This led her to Bastyr University where she completed her doctorate in naturopathic medicine. While in school, she co-authored a research study on the microbiome of organic farmers. She has had advanced training in herbal medicine, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, infant craniosacral therapy, biofeedback, yoga therapy, and whole foods nutrition.

Her specialty is treating people from an ecosystem perspective which means investigating how food, lifestyle, stress, psychological health, and spiritual health may all be playing a role in a person's wellbeing. Rebecca is also an avid cook and herbalist and relies heavily on food and plants for medicinal support. Rebecca is also passionate about supporting bodies of all sizes and uses a Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating approach to supporting people on their health journeys.

In her free time, Rebecca loves being on the beach, in the garden, or in the woods with Josh and their young children, Ada and Solomon. She also loves to sing, read, travel, walk, ferment, and have dinner parties.

She is excited to be a founding member of the Collective and offer her wisdom during our 3 Day Retreat on the Stress Response Cycle and how to complete it so we can feel less tension, have more capacity, strengthen our immune system and build a resilience!
