Anna Brainard (Office Assistant)
Anna is a front office assistant and has worked for Blossom since 2016. Before coming to Blossom she worked for another naturopath in Vancouver. She has been a Camas resident for 22 years. She and her husband are empty nesters these days, after raising two sons. When she is not at Blossom you can find her at the gym, hiking out in the Gorge with her husband or walking her 15 year old mutt. She loves reading fiction, watching foreign movies and cooking and eating healthy. Traveling is also a big part of Anna’s life, especially going back to Sweden where she was born and raised.
Brianna Gallardo (Office Assistant)
Born and raised in the Camas/Washougal area, Brianna grew up surrounded by all the abundant natural beauty the Columbia River Gorge has to provide. She enjoys hiking, camping, gardening, herbal medicine making and crafting with found natural objects. All of these adventures are best shared with her husband, daughter, and numerous local family members. When she gets a quiet moment, Brianna enjoys reading and baking (grain-free of course!).
Brianna was first introduced to Blossom Natural Health and Wellness as a patient. After many years with health problems that were not being solved by conventional medicine, Brianna was introduced to Dr. Meredith Distante, who’s holistic and natural approach to healthcare helped Brianna to heal fully and lead a much healthier life. Brianna became passionate about helping others gain health through lifestyle changes, ultimately becoming a part of Blossom’s team. Brianna was trained in herbalism through the Arctos School of Herbal and Botanical Studies in Portland, OR. She hopes to use this knowledge to further the health of our community.
