Dr. Jenna Rayachoti, ND
NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR | PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE CARE
Dr. Rayachoti specializes in women’s health, with a focus on perimenopause and menopause. She sees patients at The Health Collective in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood and offers telehealth throughout Washington.
Hi, I’m Jenna (she/her). I’m a naturopathic doctor with more than a decade of experience in women’s health. I primarily work with individuals of all genders navigating perimenopause and menopause, as well as navigating chronic concerns, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and burnout.
Many of my patients have tried conventional care and are looking for deeper answers and a more collaborative relationship with their doctor.
I want my patients to truly feel heard, seen, and validated. I aim to provide thorough, evidence-based care while centering each patient’s unique experience. My goal is for patients to leave their visits with a clear, sustainable plan, feeling confident and supported, and knowing they have a partner in navigating their health.

Meet Jenna Rayachoti, ND
You know your body best. I bring my clinical training, experience, and perspective; you bring a lifetime of living in your body and an understanding of what feels realistic for you. Both belong in the conversation.
I believe women deserve care that respects the natural rhythms and transitions of their lives. Menstruation, motherhood, and menopause can bring meaningful changes, questions, and challenges. My role is to take your concerns seriously, help you understand what is happening, and support you in making informed choices about your care.
My connection to this work began with a love of the natural world, nurtured by my dad and a childhood spent exploring the Grand Tetons. It deepened during my time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, where my host mother was the village midwife. Watching her work gave me a profound appreciation for birth and women’s bodies, and later inspired me to become a doula.
I came home quite sick and after ER visits, seeing specialists, and rounds of steroids and antibiotics, I finally found a naturopathic doctor. She got to the root of what was going on and helped me understand on a deeper level how I got sick and why I wasn’t getting better. I applied to naturopathic medical school 3 months later.
Those experiences built the foundation for how I practice as a naturopathic physician. I practice from a place of compassion, collaboration, and clear communication, offering patient-centered, evidence-based care. Each patient’s autonomy, lived experience, and knowledge of their own body remain at the center of every conversation and treatment decision.

My Clinical Philosophy
You know your body best. I bring my clinical training, life experience, and perspective, but you bring years of living in your body. You also know what’s realistic for your life. I want you to feel empowered to make decisions about your own health.
I believe in honoring women’s natural rhythms and the transitions of menstrual cycles, motherhood, and menopause. Revering our natural cycles, and restoring practices that honor them is an important part of my work.

What Inspired My Clinical Practice
My interest in the natural world and nature as a place of healing came from my dad and growing up exploring the Grand Tetons.
Later, I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, West Africa. My host mother was the village midwife in a place with no running water or electricity. Watching her work gave me a profound appreciation for birth and women’s bodies. That experience inspired me to become a doula and helped build the foundation for my clinical interest in women’s health, which remains at the heart of my work today.

How I Approach Care
-
I remind my patients that they know their body best. I bring my clinical training, life experience, and perspective, but you bring years of living in your body. You also know what’s realistic for your life. When we discuss treatment options, I want you to feel empowered to make decisions about your own health and understand why I’m recommending something.
-
I think of myself as a puzzle master. When someone comes to me with complex or long-term concerns, I look for the pieces that haven’t yet been turned over and consider how they might fit into the larger picture. I take a step back, take in the whole person, and look at what needs attention first. Together, we explore what may be contributing to how you feel and decide where to begin based on what I’m seeing and what matters most to you.
-
Education is a core part of my work. When I recommend testing, I explain what we’re looking for, what the test can and cannot tell us, and how the results might change treatment. I leave time to talk through your options and the reasons behind my recommendations. Throughout our visits, I ask, “What questions do you have?” Questions are expected and welcome, and I want you to have time to ask them without feeling rushed.
-
Prevention means paying attention to patterns and changes early, before something becomes a crisis. As we work together, we may use labs, check in on symptoms, or pay attention to what you’re noticing in your body. This helps us understand what’s actually working and adjust care as your health and life change. I want you to leave our visits with a better understanding of your body and clarity about how to support yourself.
I earned my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) degree at Bastyr University and completed my residency at Holistique Medical Center. After more than a decade in practice, I’ve developed deep experience in women’s health, including hormonal health, complex chronic conditions, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition through perimenopause and menopause.
My additional training and experience include:
Ongoing advanced training in women’s health and hormonal care, including mentorship and education with Tori Hudson, Aviva Romm, and The Confident Clinician Club
Birth doula training through DONA International
Completion of the Menstruality Leadership Program at The Red School, focused on menstrual cycle awareness and menstruality education
Craniosacral Therapy I & II at Bastyr University
Completion of Ancestral Lineage Healing training through Ancestral Medicine with Daniel Foor
Completion of Inner Jaguar and ongoing training with Kimberly Ann Johnson
Peace Corps service in the health sector in Senegal, West Africa
My training in naturopathic medicine, menstrual cycle awareness, birth work, mind-body approaches, and ancestral work has taught me to look at health from multiple perspectives. I listen closely for patterns that can sometimes be missed when we focus only on symptoms or diagnoses.
I also bring a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. My goal is to combine evidence-informed medicine and clinical experience with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that patients are experts in their own bodies.

My goal is to combine evidence-informed medicine and clinical experience with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.
My practice is designed primarily for women who want a deeper understanding of their body and a more personalized approach to care. I especially enjoy working with women navigating perimenopause and menopause, as well as fertility concerns, postpartum changes, and other hormonal transitions. I also work with women living with chronic or complex health concerns.
Many of my patients come to me because they don’t feel like themselves and aren’t sure why. They may feel frustrated with their current care or tired of piecing together answers on their own. Often, they want more than relief from a symptom. They want to understand what’s happening in their bodies, have more energy and resilience, and find ways to live that feel sustainable.
Common concerns in my practice include:
Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
Menstrual cycle changes and hormonal concerns
Fatigue, brain fog, and burnout
Digestive symptoms
Recurrent vaginal or urinary infections
Fertility and postpartum concerns
Thyroid and blood sugar concerns
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and hypermobility-related concerns
Mold-related illness and overlapping chronic symptoms
I work best with patients who are curious about their bodies and want to be active participants in their health. They want to understand the why behind what they’re experiencing and are open to exploring how hormones, digestion, nutrition, sleep, stress, and daily life fit together, making changes gradually over time.
I especially enjoy working with people who are looking for a doctor who will listen deeply, think critically and outside the box, and sit with complexity rather than rush to a quick answer.
Most of my work with patients is ongoing, though I also offer short-term and consultative care. I welcome collaboration with other providers to help make your care comprehensive and cohesive, and I refer out when your needs fall outside my skills or expertise.
I can support women with health concerns during pregnancy, but I do not provide prenatal care as a midwife or obstetrician would.

What Keeps Me Joyful
Nature keeps me grounded. I live in Winthrop, Washington, in the Methow Valley with my beautiful family, and I haven’t felt this deep sense of home since leaving the Tetons decades ago. I love hiking, biking, swimming in the cold rivers, and skiing.
I wouldn’t be who I am today without my husband and the women I’m in circle with regularly. My children also keep me grounded—even when they drive me a little crazy! Motherhood has been quite the initiation into patience and presence. Journaling and writing are important parts of my life, and acupuncture, therapy, and hypnotherapy are some of the ways I care for myself.
I do my best work and connect most deeply with my patients when I have spaciousness in my daily life. For me, work-life balance means creating a rhythm that works for my body, my soul, and my cycle, and allows me to be fully present with the people in my life. I’m intentional about protecting that spaciousness. I believe we need it to listen deeply—to ourselves, to each other, and to the earth.

Frequently Asked Questions —

Our first appointment is 75 minutes, and I start with deep listening. I take time to understand your story, your symptoms, and the particular season of life you’re in.
From there, we work together on a personalized plan that feels sustainable for you. We’ll discuss next steps, the timeline moving forward, and the changes we’ll be watching for.

Follow-up timing depends on your concerns and needs. I typically like to meet again four to six weeks after our initial visit.
