Who are we?
Inner Vector Naturopaths is kind of a funny name, no? We chose it because it connects with what we hope to give back.
Inner (Guided by YOUR aims)
We want to help you find a way forward that matches your lifestyle. And if you want to take a more active hand in your health, we want to help you have the know-how. That’s why we are working to offer classes on home herbalism, medicine
making, and plant identification.
Vector (A specific direction and speed)
Your goals, at your pace. Sometimes the body needs us to change, but we can usually make those changes at a sustainable pace. Life is crazy enough as it is.
Naturopaths (Walking the Natural Path)
With a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine we respect and support evidence-based research, as well as traditional healing. Sometimes one has a tool the other doesn’t recognize. By blending them, we gain the best of both worlds.
Inner Vector Naturopaths
We empower you to reach your health goals at a speed that works for you, naturally.

Client Testimonials
Dont’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
“I’d get debilitating [monthly] headaches that lasted for at least 3 days, usually 4 or 5. Two of those days I couldn’t get out of bed and had to hide in the dark with a face mask on and no noise or light. Drugs wouldn’t even touch them… [It] made me want to gouge my eyes out…
After starting [treatment] I noticed headaches decreasing in intensity within 3 days. Now my headaches last 2 or 3 days tops and I can function normally throughout them…My mood and energy improved [too]. Last week…I enjoyed regular
activities including kids and noise and lights and everything.”

Current Staff
- Dr. Taylor Goodwin, ND
Dr. Taylor Goodwin has a lifelong interest in herbals, self-sufficiency, and sustainable natural health. When young, he could be found identifying plants in the park and being told to stop harvesting the edible and medicinal ones. Since then, he has focused his attention on the human side of the equation. During his training at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University of Health Sciences) he studied with an eye towards supplement quality assessment. He is also developing a ‘medicinal foods’ blend of herbals designed to be eaten and enjoyed. Taylor enjoys board games, yoga, reading Brandon Sanderson, and hiking with his wife, Avril.
Degrees and background:
- Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Sonoran University of Health Sciences
- Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from Brigham Young University of Idaho
- Taylor has led dozens of plant walks in Arizona and Colorado, given seminars on topics including herbals, memory formation, and habits, and served local medical needs in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico with Naturopaths Without Borders.
Q: What is a Naturopathic Doctor? A: A: A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) is a natural care provider trained to blend traditional healing wisdom with modern scientific standards. We usually share a focus on using the least invasive tools—like botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments—to support your body’s innate ability to heal. If needed, we also often have other tools in our toolkit as well. Rather than just addressing a symptom, NDs usually work with you to investigate the underlying cause of your health concerns. We use joint planning to build a protocol that respects your autonomy and moves at a pace that works for your life.
Q: Do Naturopathic Doctors actually have training? A: It can be a bit confusing with two similar terms. “Naturopaths” are those who believe in natural care, but the title doesn’t define anything about training. “Naturopathic Doctors” share this belief in natural healing, but those holding this title also must have a medical school doctorate degree in Naturopathic Medicine (ND), and typically pass national boards to gain and keep an active license to practice as a professional in the field. This is the same background an MD or DO requires, with a residency program being optional.
Q: What is the difference between your approach and conventional medicine? A: Both professions have value to bring to the table, but two main differences are increased time together and a focus on building the body up from the root, usually with natural tools. We have an hour together to discuss your personal needs, allowing us to focus on the “why” of your needs. In our sessions, we look past the immediate symptoms to investigate the underlying cause of what’s going on, or “root cause”. The root cause taken care of, the issues often reduce naturally thereafter, with some habits changing to maintain it. We take the time to look at the whole picture so the plan we create is specific to your needs, rebuilds the body, and aims to actually sustainable for you.
Q: Will you coordinate with my other healthcare providers? A: Yes. I prefer for your care to be a cohesive effort. If you are seeing other doctors or specialists, I’m happy to work alongside them to make sure your natural protocols are safe, effective, and integrated with any other treatments you’re receiving.
Q: How does the “joint planning” process work? A: It means you have a seat at the table. I provide the medical and herbal expertise, but you are the expert on your own life and body. We look at your history and goals together, then decide on a path forward that feels manageable. We don’t move faster than you’re ready for, and we prioritize the changes that will have the most impact on your day-to-day well-being.
