Queer Owned Seattle Business Series: Transformative Healthcare, Jill Corey ND
To celebrate Pride month and elevate LGBTQ+ voices, I’m highlighting a few locally owned queer businesses. Thank you Dr. Corey for sharing about yourself this week! Check out Dr. Corey’s Instagram @drjillcorey
Dr. Jill Corey earned their Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine in 2014 and a Masters of Nutrition degree in 2009 from Bastyr University. Dr. Corey provides a collaborative and individualized approach to healthcare. They are dedicated to providing a welcoming environment to all individuals that are seeking to improve their health. Dr. Corey’s interests include LGBTQIA healthcare, trans healthcare, gender affirming healthcare, digestive issues, anxiety, depression and endocrinology.
Dr. Corey identifies as gender non-binary and therefore focuses their practice on the healthcare needs of gender diverse people. They have had additional training in gender affirming healthcare from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).
What led you to open your clinic in Seattle?
To provide quality health care to gender minorities.
What kind of services do you provide?
Gender affirming healthcare, primary care, B12 injections and craniosacral therapy.
How do your services help people with anxiety and other mental health issues?
Most of my patients experience this in some form or another.
How does the concept of fat positivity fit into your practice?
I aim to provide a nonjudgmental healing space no matter race, gender, socioeconomic status and body size.
What patients do you love working with?
Gender diverse and neurodiverse patients.
What happens during a first appointment with you?
Usually a detailed background of health history and making connections between different health symptoms and how they relate to each other.
What do you wish people knew about services with you?
I am neurodivergent and non binary. Therefore the services I provide are given through that lens of my lived experience.
What advice would you give to other LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs?
Neurodivergence is prevalent among the LGBTQ community. It is important to understand the unique needs of neurodivergent patients and that neurodivergence is not something to fix but rather tailor communications and treatments to fit their needs.
How are you celebrating Pride this year in Seattle?
Going to the block party on Broadway and the parade downtown.
