Dr. McDaniel's passion is providing naturopathic primary care for kids, women and queer humans of all genders. They are passionate about preventive care and believe that not only is prevention important, but that it can also be fun! Naturopathic diet and lifestyle recommendations weave their way into almost every visit, while medications and procedures are used when they are the most appropriate option.

Having practiced midwifery for over 10 years, Dr. McDaniel has a special love of caring for newborns and their parents, especially during those first vital years of life when babies and young children are laying down pathways in their nervous system around attachment, bonding and security. To that end, they offer comprehensive naturopathic support during preconception, pregnancy and the postpartum period. Their love of tending life's transitions also informs their approach to gender affirming care. Dr. McDaniel is sex positive, body positive and welcomes single parents and families of all configurations in their journey to parenthood, as well as for general naturopathic primary care. 

Dr. McDaniel founded Seattle Natural Family Medicine in 2002 and practiced there until 2008, when they joined One Sky Family Medicine, an established group practice. They now co-own and run OSFM alongside business partner Molly Gray, ND. Dr. McDaniel practiced midwifery, attending families birthing at home and in free-standing birth centers, until 2014, and taught at both Bastyr University and the former Seattle Midwifery School. As One Sky Family Medicine's Residency Program Director, they teach Resident Naturopathic Physicians, who participate in many of their visits.

Dr. McDaniel has served on the Boards of Directors for the Midwives Association of Washington State, the Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and Sacred Earth Foundation — which encompasses the Ekone community and summer camp for kids, as well as the White Eagle Memorial Preserve in Goldendale, WA.
