Patient Care Coordinator
Hello, I’m Tam, the Patient Care Coordinator at Pinnacle Integrative Health. With over eight years of
experience in customer service, I’ve always been driven by a deep-seated passion for helping others. When I
discovered the opportunity to join the Pinnacle team, I knew it was the perfect fit for me.
My dedication to health and wellness is deeply personal. My father’s illness during my childhood profoundly
influenced my perspective on health, motivating me to prioritize well-being and equip myself with knowledge
for the benefit of both myself and my family. This personal journey aligns seamlessly with Pinnacle’s holistic
approach to health, allowing me to merge my professional skills with my commitment to integrative care.
Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of hobbies including cooking, videography, and gardening. These
activities not only enrich my life but also provide a creative balance to my professional endeavors.
Director of Enrollment & Health Coach
As a graduate of Bastyr University with a degree in Nutrition and Culinary Arts, I am deeply passionate about
natural healing and holistic coaching. My journey is driven by the belief that nourishing the body with whole
foods and embracing wellness practices can lead to a balanced, vibrant life.
In addition to nourishing the body, I am deeply committed to helping others expand their minds and break
through their barriers to live a deeply rewarding life.
When I’m not immersed in my studies or coaching others, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors through
hiking, camping, and backpacking, or grounding and expanding myself with meditation and yoga. I also love
pushing my limits with HIIT workouts, attending concerts for inspiration and fun, and spending quality time
with friends, especially when we’re cooking up something delicious together.

My journey into integrative healthcare began with my mother’s health struggles and the failure of a
conventional system that only prescribed more medications. It wasn’t until she met Dr. Barney, a
Functional
Medicine doctor, that her health turned around. His holistic approach, including lab testing, custom
nutrition, Chinese Herbal Medicine, and acupuncture, transformed her life in under a year. Inspired
by
her
recovery, I pursued my studies at Bastyr University under Dr. Barney’s mentorship.
Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor activities in the Pacific Northwest like hiking, camping, skiing,
and
off-roading in my Jeep Rubicon. I love Mexican food and cooking healthy meals with organic
ingredients.
Family and close friends mean everything to me.
