Jade Wimberley, ND

Consulting Naturopath

Dr. Jade Wimberley received her BA in economics from Denison University in 1992, having spent a semester of her 3rd year in Geneva, Switzerland to pursue her interest in international relations and business. After college, she landed in New York, New York with Alex Brown and Sons, Inc. Though Wall Street was not for her, she did pursue her business and entrepreneurial interests with a small company based out of Southport, Connecticut: Environmental Data Resources (EDR). She quickly became a regional sales and marketing director with EDR, which entailed a move from the East Coast to Seattle, Washington in 1994.

In 1999, Dr. Wimberley decided it was time to pursue her interest in the medical profession and shortly thereafter entered Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona and graduated in 2004. While in school, she was the student representative for both Gaia Herbs and Priority One, companies known for their quality medicines within the holistic medical field. Working for these companies gave her a real world experience while being in the realm of higher education.

Shortly after graduation, Dr. Wimberley realized the Phoenix heat was too much to call home. With an opportunity to become part owner and founder of Zuma Natural Foods, she relocated to Mancos, Colorado. In November of 2004, she joined together with a therapist to form a private practice in Dolores, Colorado. After nearly four years in private practice, she joined the wellness team at Open Sky. Her passion for the wilderness, naturopathic medicine and working with adolescents and young adults makes for a perfect fit.

In her time away from work, Dr. Wimberley enjoys spending time around her 87-acre farm, attending local music festivals, visiting family on the east coast, hiking in the surrounding mountains, finding waterfalls in the mountains or desert, and living the simple life. For Dr. Wimberley, enjoying the mystery of life is fulfilling just on its own. She believes that everyday there is a gift given to us by nature and that our job is simply to slow down enough to receive it.
