Why Panka Natural Health?
Founded by Dr. Haley and Dr. Jacob Panka in 2018, Panka Natural Health is dedicated to redefining healthcare through a unique blend of primary care training and evidence-based natural therapies. As licensed naturopathic doctors, we prioritize getting to know each patient individually, focusing on addressing the root causes of health concerns rather than merely treating symptoms.
At Panka Natural Health, we believe healthcare should be both approachable and personalized. We create health by merging the principles of naturopathic medicine with the latest research on complementary and integrative health. Our practice offers a comfortable healthcare experience, with appointments available for the entire family.
Our natural treatments are integrative, holistic, and evidence-informed, ensuring you receive the best care tailored to your needs. Here, you’re more than a patient; you’re a partner in health, and we’re excited to guide you on your wellness journey.
About Us
Our journey together began in naturopathic medical school, where we discovered a shared vision for patient-centered, natural healthcare that continues to guide us as we serve the Twin Cities community. We’re a husband-and-wife team, both graduates of National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, the oldest accredited naturopathic medicine program in North America. Originally from the Midwest, we spent several years in the Pacific Northwest, where hiking became a weekend ritual and learning naturopathic medicine became our life’s work.
We returned to the Midwest after naturopathic medicine school to lead workplace wellness programs and health education classes in Wisconsin before making the Twin Cities home. We opened our own practice in Hopkins in 2020. Over the years, we’ve been grateful for the warm, welcoming community and are honored to support our patients here with personalized and integrative healthcare.
Outside of work, our three-year-old son keeps us on our toes and is a constant source of joy. We love gardening, family movie and game nights, and time outdoors. Being part of the Hopkins community and getting to know Minnesota’s lakes and beaches has been so fun. We look forward to serving this community for many years to come!
