Hello!
My name is Dr. Kseniya Zvereva, I'm a naturopathic doctor with a passion for getting to the root cause of patient's symptoms and helping people live their lives to the fullest. I acquired my degree of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Kenmore WA and completed two years of residency, first at Bastyr Center for Natural Health in Seattle, WA and then at Bastyr University California in San Diego, CA. Given my passion for combining medicine and teaching, both residencies allowed me to engage in one of my favorite naturopathic principles, docere - which is translated to "doctor as teacher", where-in I educate patients about their conditions, thus empowering them to understand and take control of their health.

Education
2024-2025
Residency Year 2
Bastyr University California
(San Diego, CA)
During my second year of residency, I took on an enhanced role in teaching, which involved overseeing student clinicians and teaching my own phlebotomy class. I also supervised our IV clinic shift for nine months, gaining valuable leadership experience in that modality. My primary patient focus during this time centered on gastrointestinal issues, autoimmune disorders, thyroid health, sleep, and stress management. This year I didn't work with insurance companies given the different layout of the profession in California.
2023-2024
Residency Year 1
Bastyr Center for Natural Health
(Seattle, WA)
My first year was heavily focused on primary care visits and an increasing understanding of our (ND) place in the larger medical community. I started to gravitate towards gastrointestinal and autoimmune conditions, given a strong link between the two. Working with insurance companies was a large part of my first year residency experience.
June 2023
Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine
Bastyr University
(Kenmore, WA)
After 4 years of medical school, I was ready to start seeing patients under the supervision of seasoned physicians!
What's in a name?
The word xenia (from ancient Greek: ξενία) means “hospitality” or “guest-friendship.” It refers to the deeply rooted Greek cultural value of showing respect, generosity, and kindness to strangers or guests, often as a sacred duty.
In naturopathic medicine, the therapeutic relationship is central. A naturopathic doctor (ND) often invites the patient into a safe, nonjudgmental space—similar to how a host welcomes a guest with dignity and care. Just as xenia honors the humanity of the guest, naturopathic medicine honors and invites to healing the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
