Our Practitioners
Dr. Calley Asbill, ND
Clinic Director, Naturopathic Physician
Preferred Provider:
Pacific Source, First Choice Health, Providence, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Moda, Personal Injury Protection
It has long been said that practicing medicine is an art. In much of today’s western medical practice the art has been lost to protocols and treatment flow charts. The art, however, is where the power lies. The art to see each person as an individual, to recognize the life factors and experience that have lead them to where they are now, sitting across from me. Through my practice I have learned to honor each person and to understand that their story holds so much of the critical information needed to help break through the layers of disease that surrounds who they really are.
Utilizing this approach allows only targeted supplements, medications, and interventions to be used in order to restore or support function. This prevents the unfortunate experience many have had, where they are asked to take and pay for a large quantity of supplements and/or medications or change an excessive amount of their lifestyle in a short period of time. While affecting real change does require work and often lifestyle change, the changes that can be integrated are different for each person and each circumstance. While this may seem slow at times, the effects are lasting and life giving. There in lies the goal of my approach to medicine: To compassionately meet people where they are at, affect real change, and help restore their quality of life.
In today’s world it is harder than ever to be healthy. Over the past 3-4 generations the pollution of our planet has impacted our epigenetic structure in ways that cause us to pass on increasingly altered genetic coding, which for some people, mandates significant effort and motivation in order to reclaim their health. But it can be done. I have been honored to watch many people re-write their lives and those of their children.
The work I am so fortunate to do with the inspiring people who walk into my office touches my heart daily. I work extensively with women, men, and children to address everything from maintaining wellness to treating chronic complex diseases, with the latter making up a majority of my practice. In this vein, I note all too often that people have been subject to varying levels of traumatic experiences and this plays into their physical health in a significant way. After seeing this continually ignored or left unaddressed, I found Peter Levine’s work, Somatic Experiencing. I am currently working to complete the extensive training required to be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and have found it extremely useful in regulating the nervous system and integrating the experience of trauma in a way that leaves people feeling empowered and resilient.
Dr. Asbill received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine in 2013 from The Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ. She is a licensed physician in the state of Oregon and an active member of the Oregon Association of Naturopathic Medicine and the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. In her time away from the clinic she volunteers for the Deschutes County Search and Rescue and is currently completing her training in Somatic Experiencing to better address the needs of her patients who have suffered traumatic experiences.
Kellie Chambers, L.Ac., MAOM, Dipl. Ac.
Acupuncturist
Preferred Provider:
Pacific Source, Personal Injury Protection
Kellie Chambers has studied Chinese Medicine for over a decade. As a Licensed Acupuncturist, focusing in Classical and Taoist approaches to health and well-being, Kellie utilizes several modalities of care, including Embodiment and Shared Presencing, Acupuncture, Asian Bodywork, Chinese Nutritional and Herbal Medicine, Qigong Therapies, Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxabustion, Tuning Forks and Essential Oils in her unique treatment sessions. Kellie focuses on teaching self healing principles and subtle awareness cultivation in all of her consultations.
Kellie’s connection with plants and nature led her to a B.S. in Botany and Plant Pathology at Oregon State University. But it was her awareness of Qi (and several Aikido injuries) that led her to earn a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Kellie went on to train with Dr. “flying needle” Wong, in her post graduate study at the NanJing International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in NanJing, China. She passionately passes along her knowledge of this ancient tradition of practice to the next generation of Healers through teaching many Cupping and Gua Sha Workshops ( through www.cuppingdynamix.org ) all over the greater Northwest Region to Acupuncturists, Physical Therapist, Nurses, Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, and many more, wishing to add some Eastern wisdom to their varied approaches to supportive and integrative healing.
Kellie has been studying meditation in many forms for the past 15 years. She is a Ling Gui Certified Healing Qigong Instructor and continues to deepen as an avid student of Taoist medicine with the Ling Gui International Healing School of Qigong. In addition to treating patients, Kellie offers weekly QiGong classes and in-depth weekend workshops on a seasonal basis. You can find her current class offerings at www.moontreemedicine.com/classes. She adds to her healing qigong instruction with a background in Aikido and Zen Meditation as well as a 200 hour yoga teacher certification, specializing in Yin yoga.
Ever the student, Kellie has taken up a two year training program (timeless wisdom training) through the Academy of Inner Sciences with Thomas Hubl, a contemporary spiritual teacher of uncompromising clarity.
When not working or studying, you can find Kellie loving life on a sailboat, out for a hike, at the climbing gym, dancing in ceremony, playing with artistic exploration, or reading a book by the fire.
Dr. Lori Carroll, DC
Chiropractic Physician
Preferred Provider:
Pacific Source, First Choice Health, Providence, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Moda, Medicare Non-Participating Provider, Personal Injury Protection
Dr. Lori Carroll is a chiropractor in Bend, committed to providing gentle, effective, and compassionate chiropractic care to her patients. She enjoys working with families, children, and all types of athletes. Whether you have a work or sport related injury, are interested in sports performance enhancement, or would like to improve your overall health, Dr. Carroll will work with you to achieve your goals.
Dr. Carroll earned her Chiropractic Doctorate degree from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon following completion of her undergraduate degree in Human Physiology at the University of Oregon. She has gained broad clinical experience as a chiropractor practicing internationally, first taking a position in Thailand where she had the privilege of treating a wide range of patients and conditions. Eventually making the move to Australia, she joined a sports med team in tropical North Queensland where she learned first hand what a huge impact the combination of chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation can make in her patient’s lives.
Dr. Carroll assesses the body as a whole for optimal diagnosis and treatment. As a chiropractor, she utilizes a thorough postural, soft tissue, and biomechanical assessment to formulate an individualized treatment plan for every patient. By treating both the soft tissue, joint alignment, and giving specific instruction on exercises and lifestyle modifications she works with her patients to get long lasting results. She primarily uses diversified adjustments for manipulation of the spine and extremities. Dr. Carroll also uses more gentle Activator and ArthroStim tools as needed for specific situations and for those patients who don’t like the sound commonly associated with a traditional adjustment.
Dr. Carroll is a certified Active Release Techniques (ART®) practitioner and was a member of the ART® team at the 2010 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. She is also a certified provider of Graston Technique. Both ART® and Graston Technique are used to safely and conservatively treat scar tissue and fascial adhesions through detection and break down of scar tissue fibrosis. She is also Advanced Rocktape certified and uses functional kinesiotaping methods as another tool to support the recovery process and enhance performance. She has provided medical care at numerous sporting events, both locally and internationally.
In her spare time, Dr. Carroll enjoys working on her personal yoga and meditation journey, trail running, mountain biking, backpacking, nature photography, and creating delicious and healthy meals for her friends and family. She is grateful to find herself living in Oregon once again with the opportunity to serve the Central Oregon community.
“As a native Oregonian, I know that when you live in Central Oregon, it’s all about leading an active lifestyle. I strongly believe that leading an active life, complemented by healthy eating, is the key to maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health. I’m passionate about helping people achieve their individual health goals and get back to enjoying the activities they love in the unique and beautiful playground we live in. As a certified Hatha yoga teacher, I love to incorporate yoga into the rehab regimen for my patients. Yoga’s ability to stretch, strengthen, and balance the physical body while calming the nervous system and quieting the mind makes it the perfect complement to chiropractic treatment for overall health and wellness.”
