Dr. McDaniel's passion is providing naturopathic primary care for kids, women and queer folks. She's passionate about preventive care and believes 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, and medications and procedures are used when they are the most appropriate option.

Having practiced midwifery for over 10 years, they have 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. They are sex positive, body positive and welcome single parents, families of all configurations and people who identify as LGBTQIA+ 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 she joined the One Sky family in 2008. She now owns and runs the practice with her business partner Molly Gray, ND.  She 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 she teaches Resident Naturopathic Physicians, who participate in most visits with Dr. McDaniel.

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