She completed her training at Bastyr University California. Coming with a global perspective cultivated through experiences in Europe, Middle East, and the US, Dr. Sharhan brings a diverse and comprehensive approach to healthcare.
​
​Prior to delving into naturopathic medicine, Dr. Sharhan earned a bachelor's degree in biological basis of behavior from the University of Pennsylvania. The journey also involved collaborations with prestigious institutions such as Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, contributing to various research projects. Following graduation from Bastyr University, Dr. Sharhan dedicated several years to primary and urgent care working in family medicine in the Pasadena area, with a specific focus on women and children.
​
Dr. Sharhan's primary focus now centers around complex and resistant cases, chronic fatigue, hormone regulation, digestive health, autoimmunity, dermatological and hair concerns, and general women's health, especially women transitioning through perimenopause and menopause. The ultimate goal is to assist individuals in achieving holistic well-being, addressing both internal and external aspects of health. As a perpetual researcher and lifelong learner, Dr. Sharhan is committed to staying updated and continuously educating herself to better guide individuals in reaching their health goals, with a strong emphasis on learning from their unique experiences.
​Dr. Reem Sharhan is deeply passionate about herbs and the natural world, seeing wisdom in nature's ways. Her decision to pursue naturopathic medicine stemmed from a profound personal experience 20 years ago when conventional medicine failed to help her regain control over her body. This led her to explore natural healing methods extensively. Dr. Reem highly values diversity, having been enriched by encounters with people from various backgrounds and from all over the world. In her leisure time, she finds joy in nature and cherishes moments with her family, her husband, and their grumpy middle-aged kitty.
