Charlotte Nowack, ND

Gut issues often lead individuals down a path of fear and uncertainty when it comes to food. Following extreme diets and viewing food as the enemy becomes a norm, making everyday meals a daunting task. Here is where my expertise comes into play.
As a medical professional specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, I strive to guide individuals in rediscovering the joy of food without fear. My approach focuses on identifying the root causes of gut problems, enabling my patients to make informed, healthy, and enjoyable food choices.
The key to lasting improvement lies not just in addressing the symptoms, but in understanding and tackling the underlying issues. To this end, I emphasize educating my patients about their conditions, so they can better understand and manage their own health.
Charlotte Nowack, ND
Nathuropathic Physician
Dr. Charlotte Nowack is a licensed naturopathic physician for 8 Hearts Health & Wellness. Dr. Nowack works with her patients to develop their personal embodiment of health, understanding that this is unique for every individual. She has a passion for helping her patients feel at home in their own skin, recognizing that with changes in our health, our minds and bodies can sometimes feel foreign to us. She works together with her patients to look for answers that bring everything together and create direction in striving towards wellness.
Dr. Nowack’s own journey around gastrointestinal health has sparked this as a particular passion of hers. She finds there is so much information available that makes it difficult to know where to begin, and it is her goal to help patients find answers in a more expedient way.
Dr. Nowack received her doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University California going on to complete a three-year GI-focused residency with Dr. Jason Wysocki.
Additionally, she utilizes several hands-on modalities (primarily visceral manipulation), mind- body medicine and biofeedback, and homeopathy.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Nowack enjoys reading novels, interior design, baking, and working out.

What Sets Me Apart?
- I'm a Doctor of Acupuncture and a Board-Certified Structural Integration Practitioner.
- My approach to health and the body is informed by my deep knowledge and practical experience in both Chinese Medicine and Structural Integration.
- During each visit, I spend dedicated one-on-one time with my patients. I do not divide my attention between multiple patients, ensuring that each individual receives my undivided attention and care.
- I offer a unique combination of skills that supports quick recovery, improved endurance, and reduced long-term effects on athletes' bodies.
I believe in providing the best care possible to each and every one of my patients, and I look forward to doing the same for you.
Josh Luper, DAc, LAc, BCSI
Acupuncturist and Structural Integration Practitioner
Competitive athletes know all too well the toll their passion can take on their bodies. The high-impact nature of their pursuits often results in injuries, some of which, if not properly addressed, can lead to long-lasting issues. There's a pressing need for targeted, ongoing support that not only accelerates recovery but also mitigates future physical complications. This is where I come in.
As a board-certified Acupuncturist and Structural Integration Practitioner, my goal is to help athletes heal and return to their peak performance. I employ specific manual techniques to align the body in gravity, promoting healing from both new and old injuries. My unique approach brings together my extensive training and experience in Chinese Medicine and Structural Integration, offering comprehensive care to my patients.
The end result? Athletes who not only recover more quickly but also experience improved endurance and a reduced risk of long-term physical problems. My high qualifications and the one-on-one attention I provide during every visit enable me to deliver these results consistently.
Josh Luper, DAc, LAc, BCSI
Classical Five-Element Acupuncture | Structural Integration | Zero Balancing
Dr. Josh Luper is a board-certified Acupuncturist and Structural Integration Practitioner for 8 Hearts Health & Wellness.
His approach to patient care supports the individual constitution of each person with an awareness of the body as a whole. He believes in empowering patients to make the best decisions for their individual health and will support them wherever their health journey may take them. Josh’s practice focus is (Worsley) Classical Five Element Acupuncture with particular focus in musculoskeletal pain, mind-body connection, and functional digestive problems.
Since Qi dysfunction can be a primary culprit of pain and limited mobility, Josh works with individuals to increase the free flow of Qi throughout the body. He works to improve the transfer of motion through the body’s vertical center, with attention to potential fascial “adhesions” that can restrict free movement of Qi and register in the body as pain. Attention is also given to holding patterns (or “guarding habits”) that can be the source of mysterious, ongoing chronic pain. Both Acupuncture and hands-on work can be utilized to achieve reduced and resolved chronic pain.
Josh finds the goals of Structural Integration to be a natural companion to Chinese Medicine, and also offers sessions in the traditional 10-series following in the lineage of Dr. Ida Rolf. He completed his training in Structural Integration with the Northwest Center for Structural Integration becoming board-certified quickly thereafter. Josh has also received training in Zero Balancing as another option to, or alongside, direct fascial work.
We have several scheduling options available to tailor to specific needs, and Josh is available for preliminary phone consultations to discuss these options.
When not seeing patients or supporting the clinic office at 8 Hearts, he enjoys hiking and exploring the Pacific Northwest, as well as traveling to visit family in his hometown of Nashville, TN.
