Laura Mouriño

Dr. Laura Mouriño’s life history juxtaposes two worlds of medicine. As a young child, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent multiple surgeries that left her with a 50-50 chance of developing a severe disability or possible paralysis. Her mother, having come from a family of curanderos, or natural healers, from the Dominican Republic, used natural remedies to promote strength and healing throughout the process, greatly improving her child’s chance to fully recover without incident. Thanks to both the surgeons’ work and the treatments from her mother, she recovered wonderfully.
Longing to connect with her ancestral roots, Dr. Mouriño was elated when she discovered naturopathic medicine, enabling her to study Western medicine that also supports the body’s innate wisdom to create balance and true healing at National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
After graduating in 2018, Dr. Mouriño did a three-year residency in Cleveland, Ohio and began her advanced training in metabolic terrain medicine with Drs. Nasha Winters and Erin Holston Singh, receiving her metabolic terrain with a focus in cancer care and naturopathic residency certifications in 2021. As a bilingual clinician, she revels in the ‘doctor as teacher’ aspect of naturopathic medicine and enjoys creating awareness around the many ways being healthy can be simple from the (w)holistic terrain perspective. By working with individuals on the basics such as their nutrition and lifestyle, she encourages them to make feasible health-conscious decisions that guarantee a positive impact on their lives.
Dr. Mouriño relies on the philosophies of naturopathic medicine and metabolic terrain patterns that not only identify the root cause of illness but also address the whole person.
In her free time, she enjoys adventuring with her family and friends in the Pacific Northwest, Latin dancing, and exploring how to make different cuisines both delicious and nutritious.

Dr. Walker first discovered natural medicine while working with her aunt, a chiropractor in Minnesota. Dr. Walker instantly knew that natural medicine was her calling. She moved to Portland to attend the National College of Natural Medicine, earning her doctorate in 2007. Dr. Walker completed her residency at Salem Naturopathic Clinic in 2009. She and her husband Brant Walker established Canby Clinic in 2010 as a part-time country clinic. Word of mouth from satisfied patients quickly spread and Canby Clinic has since grown into a full-time, multi-physician clinic serving many patients with a variety of conditions. Dr. Walker believes in the tenets of naturopathic medicine. She strongly feels that her role as a physician, in addition to striving to find the cause of illness, is to serve her patients. She values establishing meaningful, respectful relationships with patients and works to meet patients where they are at. Dr. Walker also believes it is important for patients to understand their bodies. She explains what test and image results mean and offers a variety of treatments, allowing patients to choose therapies that best fit their lifestyle, health and beliefs. Dr. Walker is deeply honored to work with each and every one of her patients.

Jocelyn Lara
Medical Assistant
Accepting new patients
Dr. Jo is a naturopathic medical graduate of the National University of Health Sciences and a member of the care team at Canby Clinic, currently in the licensure process. Born and raised in Chicago, she relocated to the Pacific Northwest to further her career in integrative primary care, with a focus on metabolic health and lifestyle medicine. She approaches healthcare with steadiness, precision, and deep respect for the patient experience.
Her path into medicine was shaped by navigating her mother’s cancer care and witnessing firsthand how medical oversights, rushed systems, and poor communication can negatively impact patients. These experiences formed a clear conviction that continues to guide her work: patients should never feel invisible within the system meant to care for them.
She values the thoughtful integration of conventional and naturopathic medicine, recognizing the importance of both clinical rigor and whole person care.
Fluent in conversational and medical Spanish, she understands that when medicine is already complex, language barriers can deepen fear and misunderstanding. Her goal is not to overwhelm or impress, but to serve, ensuring patients are met with dignity, clarity, and presence
