Cynthia Keller MD
- fearless leader and passionate caregiver, empathetic to a fault; to know her is to love her
Dr. Keller is passionate about pediatric care in general, and wellness care specifically. Besides being board certified in pediatrics, she also became board certified in Integrated Medicine in 2014, and in 2017 she passed her 3rd Boards, this time in Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine. She enjoys this balance of western medicine and alternative care, and it is one of the reasons she was inspired to start a holistic integrative clinic.
She is very happily married, and the busy mother of three. She spends most of her “free” time at conferences and avidly reading about how to best meet the ever changing medical and healthcare needs of her families.
Most of all she loves her time with her husband

Aron Choi, ND
Dr Choi’s belief is that each of us is designed, at our very core, to be well — and that the symptoms we so often want to silence are really our body speaking to us, asking to be heard rather than hushed.
Dr. Choi graduated with a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University. Dr. Bastyr used to say, “Always touch your patient. Let them know you care.” This is why physical medicine is a core therapeutic modality in Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Choi has witnessed how physical touch could shift a patient’s healing when other therapies alone were not enough.
Inspired by his mentors and in a quest to further learn the art and science of physical medicine, he continued his post-graduate training and mentorship in Visceral Manipulation and as a teaching assistant for the Barral Institute.
He believes that each of us is designed to be healthy. Disease and illness are messages from our body that need to be heard, not suppressed. His goal working with every patient is to empower them to heal and live in harmony with themselves and nature. He also consults patients on circadian aligned lifestyle, hydrotherapy, and light therapy to optimize their health and healing outside the doctor's office.
Dr. Choi regularly competes in USTA tennis leagues, enjoys challenging workouts and yoga sessions with his loving wife Sophie, and is working on his sourdough and espresso making skills. He is also a book-aholic and has an extensive home library of books and can usually recommend a book to help you on your healing journey.

With a career spanning more than two decades in healthcare, Dr. Audrey Nordlie, ND, offers patients a unique blend of dedicated primary care and deep scientific knowledge. Her extensive background includes years of direct clinical practice coupled with leadership in clinical education for the professional nutritional supplement industry. This distinct trajectory means she has spent over 20 years mastering metabolic health, longevity science, and naturopathic medicine protocols to provide highly effective, practical patient care.

This pivotal experience led Dr. Nordlie to pursue her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University, where her primary care training perfectly aligned with her passion for functional, root-cause medicine.
Today, Dr. Nordlie specializes in metabolic health, bio-identical hormones, women’s health, GI health, and mental wellness. Utilizing a comprehensive toolkit that includes clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and IV therapy, she is a dedicated advocate for helping patients move beyond basic symptom management to achieve true, optimal wellness.

Kimberly Doolittle, EAMP, LAc
- a brilliant, nurturing spirit, she treats each of her patients with great consideration and respect for their personal journeys
Kim Doolittle received her master’s degree in acupuncture and Oriental medicine from the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine in Seattle, WA. Acupuncture first became a passion of hers after graduating from Santa Clara University with a B.S. in Environmental Sciences, when she happen to accompany Dr. Keller on a trip to Southern California to shadow an acupuncturist. Over that weekend, Kim was able to observe a handful of treatments as well as receive several treatments from him; she was so blown away by the experience and received so much relief from her own health issues, that she decided she wanted to help people in the same way. She was enrolled in her master's program 10 months later!
During her training, she completed 1,200 hours of clinical practice treating patients at the Center for Integrated Care, Northwest Hospital Midwives Clinic, Asian Counseling and Referral Services Center, Evergreen Treatment Services Center, and Mary’s Place Shelter. Aside from acupuncture (needling), Kim is proficient in cupping, two forms of body work (Tui na and Shiatsu), gua sha (a mild scraping therapy), moxabustion (heat therapy) and Chinese herbal medicine. She is trained to treat acute and chronic issues of all kinds, but she most enjoys treating women’s health issues, fertility issues, children and teens, and mood disorders.
Kim also happens to be Dr. Keller’s daughter and has worked at Centered in Wellness, in some form, since its origin. She is so happy and excited to get to care for CIW’s patients in a new avenue. When she is not caring for others, she likes to spend time with her little boy.
