Deborah Webster

Acupuncturist, Chinese Medicine Practitioner

Deborah believes the body cannot thrive if out of balance and seeks to help her patients feel better through natural means such as diet, and movement, and encouraging their natural healing process with acupuncture. Acupuncture is an amazing, gentle tool that can be used to remind the body that the path to healing is inside all of us. She works with pediatric patients, couples who are preparing for parenthood, and those experiencing pain and discomfort in their bodies. Our bodies reflect what is happening within us and by treating the whole self, our best lives can be appropriately reflected.

Love Notes
"Lindsay is friendly and truly a miracle worker for the body. She takes the time to see you as a whole person."
-Brittany
"I've never met anyone like KO - I joke with friends that she knows my soul better than I do sometimes. KO has been a constant source of light, love and healing in my life for several years. She's an effective practitioner, her bodywork practices are gentle and healing, and she is absolutely committed to helping women find their own voice and power through their health and wellness choices."
-Erin
"Samantha is a skilled listener and knew exactly the questions I needed to be asked to transform how I viewed previous difficult experiences. She is kind, warm, and absolutely helped me reinterpret the past and be open to a different future!"
-Erin
"I'm so grateful to The Nest and their amazing care providers! We pay a modest monthly fee for a variety of care if it's needed. It's an unusual model of health care focused on wellness and prevention and a strong relationship with your special providers. Unlike most clinics, we know exactly who we're going to be seeing when we go in."
-Kristine
"Lindsay is simply amazing. She provided muscle/ligament relief I had been struggling with all pregnancy. I only wish I had started seeing her earlier! The Nest is a great place for overall health and wellness, not just pregnancy!
-Ruthie
"Dr. KO is a peaceful presence. Always there to listen and meet you with love exactly where you are at."
-Brittany
"You'll meet Lindsay and feel like you've known her forever - she had a way of making me feel comfortable instantly, and that opened me to ask all of the questions I had. Her bodywork was gentle and immediately effective."
-Erin
"My kiddos instantly adored KO; after 15 minutes playing with the toys in her office my normally suspicious 5 year old asked KO to help her dress her dolly. And I hope to remember that sweet moment of connection between the two of them as the beginning of a beautiful friendship, one that continues until my girls go off to college."
-Kristine

Dr. KO

Naturopathic Doctor, Licensed Midwife

I was born and raised in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I graduated from Bastyr University as a doctor of naturopathic medicine. I am also in the final stages of completing a Masters of Science in Midwifery from Bastyr. I was brought to midwifery and naturopathic medicine through the desire for a life dedicated to the pursuit of the overwhelming joy of loving service. I have been volunteering with several organizations to serve underprivileged children in various countries since the age of 16.

I attended Stanford University and graduated with a degree in neurological psychology and a minor in human biology. As I gained more focus on healthcare throughout my undergraduate career, I geared my service work towards sexual and women’s health. After graduation, my entrepreneurial spirit and search for a more holistic system of medicine brought me to a career in naturopathic medicine, and training as a craniosacral and visceral manipulation practitioner and massage therapist. I am very dedicated to the power of holistic healthcare, and I believe firmly in the ability of each individual to manifest their own health. I have begun my clinical education at Bastyr; while my skills continue to evolve, the clinical style I always attempt to embody is illustrated by the phrase, ‘listening in love.’

I came to midwifery through a desire to support health from conception. I ascribe to the belief that a child’s time in the womb and experience of birth are some of the most formative health experiences, and these experiences will continue to impact the health of the individual throughout the entirety of their life.  In addition, I am drawn to the empowerment of women that pervades the field of midwifery, returning to women their dignity and power, and supporting the reclamation of birth by the women who are giving it.

I truly believe that giving birth is one of the most important events that will occur in the life of a woman; I cannot adequately express how excited, honored and grateful I am to have the opportunity to partner with women in this experience.

The foundation of my life, belief, and medical practice is this:

All illness would be eradicated if we could all remember the one essential truth-

Everything is love.

Deborah Webster

Acupuncturist, Chinese Medicine Practitioner

Deborah Webster is a licensed acupuncturist who graduated with her Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from South Baylo University and holds a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science. She loves to help her patients move and feel their best without pain or discomfort. Deborah has experience in treating a wide range of disorders and patient issues which has given her the tools to understand that each person is unique and will have their own healing journey. Our bodies reflect what is happening within us and by treating the whole self, our best lives can be appropriately reflected. This is true for her wellness, fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum patients who are preparing their bodies for the next stage in life. For patients with chronic or acute pain syndromes, Deborah loves the moment when they tell her they are pain-free and they are able to come up with a plan to keep them moving and living their best life. For her pediatric patients, she seeks to help them feel comfortable and safe as they are growing. Acupuncture helps the body by increasing circulation, stimulating the immune system, and improving the body’s pain response. It is both gentle and effective at helping to bring the body back to balance.

Megan Hewes

Office Manager, Embodiment instructor

I have been the Office Manager of The Nest since October 2018 and am so grateful to be a part of this holistic practice.  My experience here has been both as staff and patient, as I delivered both of my babies at home with The Nest!  Before coming to The Nest I worked in fitness since 2010, with a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from WSU and certifications as a fitness instructor and personal trainer.  I am thrilled to merge my background in exercise with the vitalistic approach of The Nest to offer classes that not only challenge cardio, strength, mobility, and balance, but incorporate a meditative quality of movement and closeness with our emotions.
