Dr. Michelle Torrance

Naturopath / ND
Not accepting new patients

Dr. Michelle Torrance is a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist in Washington State and a graduate of Bastyr University. She furthered her clinical education through postgraduate studies at Shuguang Hospital in Shanghai, China, deepening her experience in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. She earned her undergraduate degrees from the University of the Pacific in California.

Dr. Torrance takes a personalized, whole-person approach to care and welcomes both patients seeking a primary care physician and those looking for support with specific health and wellness concerns. Her areas of clinical interest include women’s health throughout the lifespan—from adolescence through menopause—including hormonal health and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), family planning, allergies and sensitivities, thyroid health, digestive concerns such as reflux, and skin conditions.

She is passionate about helping patients better understand their health and creating individualized care plans that support hormonal balance, overall wellness, and long-term well-being. When she isn’t helping patients, you can find her with her husband and Pomeranian, named Fritz – and you might even see him around the office!

Naturopath / ND, LMT
Accepting new patients

Dr. Leonardo Franzese grew up in New Jersey before moving to Camano Island, Washington, in 1995. Drawn to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest—including its mountains, forests, and Puget Sound—he has proudly called the region home ever since. He went on to earn his doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle.

Dr. Franzese is a general care practitioner who welcomes patients ages 14 and older. He has a particular interest in helping patients address chronic conditions and supporting overall wellness through individualized, integrative care. He also has a strong focus on hormonal health and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), working with patients to understand their unique symptoms, health goals, and hormonal needs. His approach emphasizes personalized treatment plans designed to support healthy hormone levels, energy, mood, metabolism, and overall quality of life.

Affectionately known as “Dr. Lenny” around SNC, he takes the time to look beyond symptoms and explore the underlying factors contributing to his patients’ health concerns. He is committed to partnering with his patients to better understand their health and develop thoughtful, individualized approaches that help them feel their best.

Outside the office, Dr. Franzese enjoys time with his wife and young daughter. His love of the Pacific Northwest has inspired a passion for cooking, culture, hiking, biking, and foraging for wild mushrooms, often bringing his culinary creativity into the kitchen.
