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.

I was fortunate to grow up in Boulder, Colorado, an area of the country where natural medicine is welcomed, valued and used routinely. For this reason, I was accustomed to addressing any health issue with herbs and nutrient-dense foods. However, my first introduction to homeopathy wasn’t until I was in college and began seeking treatment for seasonal allergies, anxiety and insomnia.

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.

Kyle Gunderman

Chief Executive Officer

I came to the Resilience Naturopathic team with one goal in mind, give our clients the best experience possible. 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. I brought with me a depth of knowledge in organizational leadership and a keen desire to bring naturopathic medicine to everyone.

Jody Putnicki

Chief Advocacy Officer

I’ve proudly partnered with Resilience Naturopathic, driven by a deep-rooted passion for supporting families as they navigate the treacherous waters of PANS/PANDAS. I am a momma bear who 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 girl back. I feel as though a strong calling has been placed on my life to stay with the families who are still in the trenches by sharing my family’s life-changing experience 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 symptom cycle. 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 after experiencing the wonders of homeopathy with my own PANS child. My professional background is in software development and my personal background is in advocating for my medically complex children. My goal is to ensure that you feel supported and that your phone call into our practice is the easiest task in your day. As a p/p parent, I’m humbled to be part of a dedicated team delivering individualized health care to our PANS community.

Erin Duarte

Client Care Coordinator

What I love most about working at Resilience Naturopathic is the opportunity to support and connect with clients 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.

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.

Client Support

When my son first started displaying Pans symptoms I felt completely lost and alone! After countless appointments with doctors and therapists where we were either told that nothing was wrong or that we should “try” medication I realized that I had to keep searching for the answer to what was happening to my son. I knew that just ignoring what was happening wasn’t going to fix anything and it was heartbreaking watching my son struggle. I also knew that I wanted to do more than just attempt to cover up his symptoms on a daily basis with a revolving door of trial and error pharmaceuticals. I decided to take a leave from my job in the education field so that I could give my full attention to healing my son. While scouring the internet I learned about homeopathy and Resilience Naturopathic. As I read the stories from families who had found healing through homeopathy I found hope again! As my son was getting better and was back in school I was planning on returning to work. But I realized that

I feel so incredibly fortunate and privileged to be part of the Resilience Naturopathic team because I don’t want other parents to ever feel misunderstood or invalidated the way that I did at the beginning of our healing journey.

Something that is personally very important to me is feeling like I am making a contribution with my time and energy towards making the world a better place. As a busy mom, time is one of my most valuable assets and I want to spend it doing something that I feel makes a difference. I can’t think of anything more important than supporting a heart centered team that strives every day to bring health and wellness to families. To have found a route to true healing for my daughter has been life changing and it’s my honor to be a part of supporting other families on their journey as well.

Abby Booth

Client Support

I have always had a passion for providing care and support for children and their families and have spent the last 14 years as a Pediatric Registered Nurse doing just that. Up until the day we realized that my son was experiencing unexplained symptoms due to a common illness, I believed that traditional medicine was the best approach. The next two years were filled with misdiagnoses, treatment plans that masked the symptoms, and an abundance of supplements that seemed so burdensome on our child. Homeopathy and Resilience Naturopathic gave my family hope when we felt hopeless. We finally had a dedicated team who provided exceptional care during our darkest time. We are still on our journey to healing, but have experienced countless triumphs along the way. Having the opportunity to serve this community with such a devoted team is a true honor.

On my own family’s journey with PANS/PANDAS, I was always grateful to find professionals that didn’t look at me cross-eyed when I told them of our experience, and were willing and able to help. I am excited and proud to be a member of the Resilience Naturopathic team, where I can help to provide a safe space for other families like my own who are on the journey towards healing.

Client Support

The day I found Resilience Naturopathic for my own family was the day I found hope and comfort. I had spent many years trying to find a doctor to listen and help me heal my child. From my first phone call with Resilience Naturopathic, I knew we had found where we were supposed to be. I’m forever thankful for this entire team of amazing people that are changing lives for the better.

I’m blessed to be able to join this team and be a small part of the journey for these families that are seeking the same healing I’ve sought after for a long time.

Jessica Osterloh

Team Coordinator

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.

Chrissie Bozeman

Client Guide

I think it’s safe to say that if you are a parent of a Pans/Pandas child, you’ve felt at some point that you didn’t know what to do or where to turn. I was definitely there! But, that VERY feeling is my driving force to get up every day and help walk alongside these families.

Resilience Naturopathic has helped my son make an astounding turnaround and homeopathy has unlocked a whole realm of possibilities that were completely unknown to me! It’s continued to ignite a curiosity to learn and absorb as much knowledge as I can.

I feel extremely grateful to be part of this amazing team and am dedicated to helping guide you & your family on this journey to healing!

Client Guide

When life blesses you with healing after years of uncertainty and you see your beautiful Pandas/Pans girl emerge to be better than you could have ever imagined. You give back to the community who got her there. I was born to serve and that quality was sparked when I saw an opportunity to join the Resilience Naturopathic team. What an honor it is to walk alongside these providers. While this journey is so hard, there is nothing more rewarding than to be there for these families in the beginning stages, to listen, educate and give them hope. I am so grateful that we found healing and now it’s my chance to be here for others just finding their way.

Alicia Wahlen

Client Guide

I am so excited to join the team at Resilience Naturopathic.

My journey with homeopathy began in 2017 when two of my children were diagnosed with PANDAS/PANS. During one of the most difficult seasons of our lives, homeopathy gave us something we desperately needed—hope. I have witnessed firsthand the incredible healing that is possible through this approach. It brought lasting healing to my children and gave my family our lives back.

Because of that experience, I feel deeply honored to serve the community that helped us find healing and restoration. I will forever be grateful for the practitioners, support, and hope we received along the way.

My greatest passion is helping parents and caregivers know that there is hope. PANDAS/PANS can feel overwhelming and isolating, but there is a full and beautiful life on the other side of this illness. Healing is possible, and the future can be filled with joy, hope, and promise. I look forward to walking alongside families on that journey and helping them find the support they need.
