Meet Willow Bartholomew, PA-C

I found integrative medicine at a point when I was feeling burned out as a provider, watching my patients continue to feel sicker.

I was diligently following every evidence-based recommendation, doing everything I had been trained to do yet my patients weren’t truly getting better. We were managing symptoms, but not uncovering the underlying causes to these symptoms.

I knew I needed to start digging deeper.

My lifelong passion for health and wellness led me to continue my education in integrative and functional medicine. As I began to incorporate this approach into my practice, I started to see real change in my patients.

But I also quickly realized that the conventional medical setting with 10-minute appointments wasn’t built for this kind of care.

After moving back to home to Black Mountain with my husband and welcoming my baby, I felt an even stronger pull to serve my community in a more meaningful way and fulfill a deeper purpose of truly healing others.

I created Willow Integrative Medicine to offer a different kind of experience, one where you’re truly heard, where we take the time to look deeper, and where the goal is simple: to help you feel your best.
