About Resilience Naturopathic
Resilience Naturopathic was originally founded with a mission to not only to provide an alternative to those who struggle with mental health conditions, but to improve the way mental and behavioral healthcare is delivered in America. Our founder, Dr. Jennifer Bahr, ND, was always specifically drawn to help children because of her own experiences as a child and because she knew that if she could help kids like her, they would be spared years of struggle and heartache. It quickly became very clear that the greatest need was with the PANS/PANDAS community, so Dr. Bahr decided to exclusively focus on helping these families. She then set out to find the best naturopathic doctors and support staff to join her on her mission. Everyone in our office, from our expert team of naturopathic doctors to our staff, has a personal mission to change the world for the better. We firmly believe that the best way to change the world is through helping others be their very best, so that they can use their talents to improve the world as well. Our highest calling is to help you to heal using safe, effective natural therapies, so that you too can accomplish your highest calling in life.

“There are several moments in my life that you could say that my life’s calling was initiated. It could be in the excitement I felt about summer workshops at the Center of Science and Industry (COSI for short) in Columbus, OH. It could have been in the time I spent in the military, doing work that I knew was important…

“As a child I had a passion for two things, clowns and medicine. My childhood quickly tilted the scale toward medicine as I watched chronic disease and mental illness take hold of my family. For years, I accompanied them in and out of doctors’ offices and hospitals, knowing in my heart that there had to be more to healing…

Dr. Casey Bartel, ND
Since I was a child, I knew that I had two callings in life – homeopathy and mental health. Homeopathy has been an essential part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was lucky enough to have parents that believed in homeopathy as an incredible form of healing.

Dr. Elizabeth Rickard, ND
“Growing up in Pennsylvania, I had never heard of naturopathic medicine. My mom is a nurse and so we went the conventional route whenever we had ailments/illnesses. As I got older I realized how those interventions usually made no difference, or even made me feel worse.”

As the Chief Operations Officer, I enable everyone on the Resilience Naturopathic team to focus on one thing, care. I strive to make sure all systems function smoothly, making it as easy for you as possible to get the care that you or your family members need.

Jody Putnicki
Chief Advocacy Officer
I’ve proudly partnered with Resilience Naturopathic with a deep rooted passion for supporting families as they navigate the treacherous waters of PANS and PANDAS. I am a momma bear that has been through the nightmare of losing my child to this awful condition so I fully understand where you are right now. I was blessed to have taken my child through the recovery process with Resilience Naturopathic and now have my happy, healthy little girl back. I feel as though a strong calling has been placed on my life to stay with the families that are still in the trenches by sharing my families life changing experiences of healing with homeopathy. I know that there’s hope for our children and I want to help you learn how your child can get out of the cycle of symptoms. My goal is to support your family through the healing process and to advocate for our children through education on the healing power of homeopathy. I am here for you because I know you don’t have to be in this place forever. There is hope and healing for your child!
Patricia Kilburn
Director of Operations
I joined the Operations team at Resilience Naturopathic because I’m passionate about our mission to help families heal. My background is in software development, project management and business analysis. I am committed to ensuring each family feels welcomed and supported on their journey. As a parent, I am thrilled to be part of a team that delivers individualized care to our community.
Erin Duarte
Office Manager
What I love most about working at Resilience Naturopathic is the opportunity to support and connect with patients and their families. I worked as a site manager at a high school here in San Diego for many years before coming to Resilience Naturopathic and the hardest aspect of that position was seeing firsthand the struggles families go through when children struggle with health challenges. During my time at the high school I developed a close relationship with one family in particular, whose healing journey began with Resilience Naturopathic.
Today I am so excited and proud to be a part of this team. I look forward to greeting everyone with empathy and encouragement.
Jessica Osterloh
Head Client Guide
When Resilience Naturopathic shared they were looking for a new client care guide, my heart skipped a beat and jumped with joy because I knew I had found my calling and the place I’m meant to be. My professional past includes client care, office management, IT support, social media management, and most recently a stay at home mom with my PANS son. Even though my son only recently started treatment with Resilience Naturopathic, we have already seen the amazing ability homeopathy has to heal PANS/PANDAS. It has given me a child I’ve never known and opened up a much brighter future. I am honored to be a part of this team and very excited to help you and your child on your own personal PANS/PANDAS healing journey.
Kristi Kim
Client Guide
As a former elementary and special education teacher, I’ve always loved the complexities of teaching and helping children to learn and thrive in the classroom.
Today, education is still a passion; albeit, I educate parents on the healing power of homeopathy and advocate for PANS/PANDAS kids. My family is proof homeopathy can treat complex cases. It brings me tremendous joy to share my family’s healing journey and recovery from PANS and Lyme while treating with Resilience Naturopathic using homeopathy.
Julia Rodriguez
Client Support Advocate
When I first started at Resilience Naturopathic I was only just figuring out my own path. All I knew was that I wanted to be a part of a movement and an organization that sought to heal others through homeopathy. Resilience Naturopathic was the perfect place to start and has since led me to discover what I truly want to pursue. Not only has it taught me immensely about homeopathy, it has also given me the amazing opportunity to help kiddos and their families with PANS and PANDAS. I am honored and grateful to be part of the amazing Resilience Naturopathic team. The client guides, doctors, and admin who are all passionate about helping individuals across the globe fuel my passion to continue to learn and grow in the field of homeopathy.

Brittany Sumner
Client Guide
I profoundly remember the moment in high school when I knew I wanted to be in a helping profession. I found joy in being an instrument to connect people to their true self and empower them to fulfill their destiny; this shaped my desire to become a social worker. It wasn’t until recently that I realized my true passion for who I was destined to serve: the PANS/PANDAS community. My husband and I are blessed with two wonderful sons, the oldest of which has been wrestling with PANS/PANDAS since he was 3. Like most families who know this ugly beast that steals our children, I did the hours and hours of researching answers. I joined all of the groups. We traveled far and wide to see specialists. And we were still losing hope. Resilience Naturopathic has restored the hope that there is a life AFTER PANS/PANDAS. Although we are new to our homeopathic journey and still continue toward true healing, I continue to be astonished at the gains we have made and look forward to the day that we can say we are healed. Working with Resilience Naturopathic and connecting other PANS/PANDAS families to hope is my true calling in this life and I am overjoyed to be able to serve and guide you along your family’s healing journey.
