About Us
Dr. Herron
Hello & Welcome
My name is Dr. Kevin (Herron). I am so happy that you have found Minerva Medicine and I look forward to the opportunity to start a health partnership with you. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
At my core I am both a student and a teacher. I approach every day and every patient with an open mind, an open heart and an intention of kindness. My greatest joy is getting to know and understand people and learn about their lives and in turn help them to appreciate their body and find the road to better health.
I did my undergraduate studies in Zoology at the University of Washington. From there, I was blessed with an amazing and extremely rigorous medical training that started at the University of Southern California followed by a Family Medicine Residency at Valley Medical Center in Renton, Washington. My medical knowledge has continued to grow with every patient and their unique concerns and circumstances but as thorough as my medical training has been there is a whole world of healing that I was never taught about and was left to learn on my own. The practice of meditation, acupuncture, nutrition, mind body healing, mushrooms and herbs has been artificially divided from the typical western medicine training. As a beautiful twist of fate, I found the Andrew Weil Integrative Medicine Fellowship which is offering me additional training in this other world of healing and how to seamlessly blend all forms of healing together to help my patients. You deserve to be offered all healing options, western and eastern alike, and as your partner in your health I look forward to helping you choose the path or paths that are right for you.
I am a father to two wonderful children, a son and a daughter and I am also a father to two amazing “bonus” daughters. Through my four very different children’s eyes I am reminded of the importance of learning and adventure. My two “four-legged” children, Luna and Zeek, remind me through a dog’s eyes, the importance of enjoying every moment and the value of companionship. On my life’s journey I have been joined by Melissa who inspires me, surprises me, grounds me and always supports me, walking by my side. Together we welcome you to Minerva Medicine.

Hi
My name is Melissa. I am excited you’ve stopped by. Let me introduce myself a little bit.
Who am I…I am a dreamer, a believer, a hopeful romantic. I am a reiki master, CMA, and energy healer. I am a mother to two beautiful daughters, a partner in all things life with my soul mate Kevin, and most recently a business owner.
Originally, I studied fashion and business and received a B.S. in Business. After having children and experiencing my own health issues, I found myself needing a different outlet. I enrolled in a medical assistant program and became a Certified Medical Assistant. While working as a CMA, I met and worked with Dr. Herron. During my time working with him, my passion for helping others in the medical system flourished. I saw a broken system and longed to create a way to better health for all.
I believe true optimal health is more than what is happening in our physical body. I see a society of people who have never been given the information to secure true wellness and health. Together with Dr. Herron, we will strive to help you connect all the layers that bring you back to your aligned and healthful self thru integrative medicine.
I believe my education and personal journey has led me to this moment, ready and willing to help you on your journey. It doesn’t have to be done alone with suffocating overwhelm and analysis paralysis. You’ve got a friend on your journey, and her name is Melissa.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope to see more of you, to walk along side you to true integrated health; connecting mind, body, and spirit.
