Meet Dr. Ciara Lumaj, ND
Licensed Naturopathic Doctor
Dr. Ciara Lumaj’s passion for natural medicine is deeply rooted in her Albanian heritage, where traditional remedies and trust in the body’s innate healing wisdom are central to everyday life. This cultural foundation inspired her to pursue a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University, a leading institution in integrative health education.
​
Her dedication to women’s health was shaped by her own journey with endometriosis, driving her to explore its underlying causes and holistic treatment options. During medical school, her path expanded into integrative oncology following her mother’s diagnosis with Stage IV cancer—a deeply personal experience that gave her profound insight into the emotional and physical complexities of cancer care.
​
Dr. Lumaj provides expert, individualized care for women through all phases of hormonal change, including perimenopause, menopause, postpartum recovery, PCOS, and endometriosis. She also supports men in navigating hormonal shifts and overall wellness. Her clinical expertise extends to thyroid, adrenal, and digestive health, and she offers integrative support for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
​
In addition to root-cause-focused care, Dr. Lumaj offers comprehensive wellness exams—including breast exams and PAP smears—and works collaboratively with her patients to optimize energy, metabolism, mood, digestion, and hormone balance. Her approach blends prevention, evidence-based medicine, and natural therapies to activate the body’s own healing capacity.

Why Naturopathy?
Naturopathic medicine doesn’t stop at symptoms, it dives deeper to understand the core and cause to better treat and heal. Often in conventional medicine, the person becomes separate from their body, causing opposition rather than conjunction. This is the beauty of naturopathic medicine - addressing all the factors of the person to reconnect them wholly.
​
I believe in treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. By combining evidence-based naturopathic medicine with traditional healing methods, I aim to address the root causes of gynecological issues and support women in achieving optimal health, as well as supporting those with eating disorders, cancer, and gut issues. Together, we'll embark on a healing journey tailored to your unique needs and goals.
