About Dr. Shonna Christian, NMDAt age 5, Dr. Shonna Christian was mesmerized by her father’s EMT medical books. Living in a rural area she was able to do ambulance ride alongs on less serious calls with him and remembers this increasing her interest in the human body. Dr. Shonna Christian graduated with her pre-med Bachelor’s Degree from Northern Arizona University 2006. After a significant injury with poor patient care, she was discouraged with today’s healthcare and decided to pursue her Masters in Health Psychology. During her Masters training in hypnosis for pain management, her mentor knew her desire to be a physician and advised her to look into the Naturopathic program at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine; from Which Dr. Shonna went on to receive her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine in 2012. She completed her Preceptorship in Family Practice with Partners in Healthcare Naturally.
