Getting Started - Learning and Growing

Dr. Shae’s interest in natural health began when she unknowingly inherited arthritis and started experiencing knee pain in her 20s. After struggling to find relief through traditional medicine, her co-worker suggested visiting a local Indianapolis naturopathic doctor, Dr. David Morgan. He taught her how to listen to her body and recommended herbs for arthritis and other issues she was not aware existed.

Dr. Shae was so impressed with the results of her herbal protocol that she decided to study and apprentice with Dr. David. Over time, she developed a wealth of knowledge and experience in these areas and eventually partnered with Dr. David at The Word and Herb Clinic.
