Dr. Niki Davis began eating plant based as a teenager but realized that, oftentimes, she was not following a healthy whole food diet. Through personal research, she learned that a whole food plant based lifestyle is the healthy way to approach nutrition for herself and her family. In fact, it was so important to her it was the reason she decided to go from being a “rocket scientist” (she previously worked as a mechanical engineer on the Space Shuttle program) to a family and lifestyle medicine board certified MD, graduating from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 2017. She obtained a plant based nutrition certificate from eCornell, assisted Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Anthony Lim during a McDougall live-in program and completed an internship at True North Health Center with mentors Dr. Alan Goldhamer and Dr. Michael Klaper. She has had great success helping her patients prevent and reverse chronic (lifestyle related) disease through lifestyle change, notably through a plant based diet. After completing her residency in June 2020, her mission has been focused on treating patients via telemedicine, virtual wellness retreats and, eventually, in-person retreats in different locations around the world. 

Having been through my own journey of seeking a healthy way of living the vegan lifestyle out of compassion for the animals and Mother Earth, I determine to be the champion for the voiceless, both the animals and the Inner Doctor. I am the first vegan acupuncturist to ever climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and am the founder of Center for Healing By Design, a 501c3 non-profit organization with the mission to empower people worldwide with revolutionary self-care education, experience, and tools, to help them get in touch with their Inner Doctor and live healthy and compassionate lives in harmony with Mother Earth and all living beings. I use the most organic and non-invasive ways of diagnosing and treating while informing and empowering vegan/vegetarian change leaders and professionals to take control of their own lives by overcoming their health challenges and taking their health to the next level without compromising but more powerfully champion their compassionate values. 

I have been a Physician Assistant since 2005. Currently working in Internal Medicine. In 2012 I had my own health problems despite heavy exercise, and what I felt was a healthy lifestyle. This prompted me to study the science of Nutrition. Once I saw the evidence I began transitioning to a whole food plant based diet. I got my health back, and then began sharing it with patients. By the end of 2020 I have taught using a food as medicine approach to over 1,500 patients, both in one on one appointments in the clinic, as well as in free classes to my community. I continue to teach and share this vital information, with any and all who are interested in taking control of their own health and wellness.

I am a board certified internal medicine physician, with a focus in lifestyle medicine, including nutrition, activity/exercise, sleep, and mindfulness & meaning. I started my own journey in the 1990s and have been growing and learning, with an interest in nutrition research, long before I found medicine and became a doctor. I have opened my own clinic, where I can talk at length with my patients about lifestyle medicine and more, without the restrictions of many of the big box clinics. I am truly passionate about a plant based lifestyle and recovering/pursuing optimal health. I also do OMT (hands-on diagnosis and treatment) and I have home visit programs for my mobility-challenged and elderly patients. Located in sunny, seaside Ventura, CA.
