Dr. Holly German has been a Naturopathic Doctor in Santa Cruz for around five years and is one of the three owners of Thrive Natural Medicine in Soquel, along with Dr. Irine Valencia and Dr. Juli Mazi.

“I was drawn to Naturopathic Medicine because I feel that many patients can achieve deeper healing by being treated holistically — with diet, herbs and vitamins — rather than taking medications that simply mask their symptoms.

“In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors and cooking healthy meals for my toddler daughter and husband.” v JÌ À Ûi >Ì i`°V ÜÜÜ° À Þ iÀ > °V
