Gwyneth Jones, DNP, is a family nurse practitioner with her Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Portland. She started her career in the medical field after receiving her Bachelor of Art in psychology through the University of Washington. She worked in the field of mental healthcare for many years in both residential and acute care settings, and enjoyed the opportunity to work with and support a diverse population. This work informed her practice moving forward – she is a firm believer in the mind-body connection, and treating the whole person, not just a body part or disease.

 

In 2009, she made the decision to return to school, this time in the field of nursing. She graduated from UoP in 2015 with her doctorate, and from there started working in a small primary care clinic, working with primarily underserved populations. Most of her patients were low income, struggled with chronic disease, and often with chronic pain. She appreciated the opportunity to help those in pain, but was often frustrated by the lack of effective treatment easily accessible to her patients. She wanted to focus more on this aspect of her care, and this brought her to Restoration Osteopathic Medicine. She has been excited to be able to offer more effective and long-lasting treatments for her patients in a supportive, friendly environment that prioritizes individual patient care.

 

At home, Dr. Jones is the mother to a wonderful, wild special needs son, and they like to adventure out in the beautiful environment of the PNW every chance they get.
