For Patients

Born and raised in Jamaica, with living and research experience in Ethiopia and Tanzania, Dr Borland has been exposed to a diverse range of cultural approaches to health around the world. She honed in on this interest by studying International Public Health at Stanford University and later attended medical school at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Jamaica.

After just one year at UWI and two yoga teacher training courses, it became clear to her that a holistic approach to medicine was the only way to foster true healing. In an attempt to expand her knowledge and experience of this approach to medicine, she left UWI and found her new home at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington to study Naturopathic Medicine. She earned her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine in 2018 and moved back home to practice alongside her mentor at an Integrative Medical Clinic in Kingston, Jamaica before moving to Oregon to join the SVM team.

Dr. Borland’s clinical interests include all aspects of primary care and preventive medicine, with a particular passion for women’s health, cardiovascular disease, digestive health, cancer support, counseling and stress management.

Mrs Boiling’s approach to medicine and taking care of her patients is similar to the approach she takes to a lot things in her life: practical, well-researched, thoughtful, open-minded and very personal. She utilizes the best practices of modern medicine, but also honors the innate healing potential of the human body by embracing alternative medicine treatment options when appropriate and effective. She specializes in Internal Medicine and Integrative Medicine and has clinical training in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement (BHRT) therapy.

Rebecca’s educational background includes a Masters in Nursing (MSN) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) degree from Gonzaga University and a Bachelors of Arts in Nursing (BA) from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. She am board certified through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) and has completed a 2-year Fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine (AWCIM) from the University of Arizona, Tucson. She also has a post-graduate certification in Global Health from OHSU. The Integrative Medicine Fellowship through AWCIM has transformed both her personal life and medical practice in many remarkable ways. Rebecca is passionate and dedicated to passing this knowledge of a “healing-approach” to medicine on to all her patients.

Rebecca Boiling lives in Medford, Oregon with her husband, Peter, who is the love of her life. They have four grown children living in various parts of the Northwest and whose families are constantly growing to their delight. They spend their leisure time enjoying the bounties of the Rogue Valley, cooking up a storm in their kitchen, building community with their “neighbors table” events, traveling as often and as far as they can, and working constantly on improving their individual and collective health.

Tara has been in healthcare for 20 years and know that she was born to help people. As an RN, for many years, she helped people both inpatient and in the home, specializing in specialty infusions for people with rare and chronic diseases. In many ways she became part of their families. She loved the connection she formed with these families and being able to make their journey a little smoother.

Tara was introduced into functional medicine about 10 years ago, and instantly knew this was the piece she didn’t know she had been missing. She dove into the functional medicine world with so many questions and was able to find answers that made sense to her about disease processes and root causes. She was able to personally try some of the techniques she was learning and see improvement in her health. Tara was eager to become a nurse practitioner so that she could help people find answers and achieve a healthier life, feeling better and stronger.

She enjoys teaching people how things work in their bodies and why a certain diet or supplement or medication can help. She loves learning from her patients, as well, and sharing in the experience of finding wellness.

Her training is in family medicine or primary care, but she also loves women’s health and cancer care, as well as nutrient therapy. The main motivator for her to become an NP is to support the patient that has been told that there’s nothing wrong, or there’s nothing more that can be done. She believes there’s always hope or a way of improving health.

Tara Holley was born and raised in the metro Denver area and loves the outdoors. She grew up camping, skiing, and riding motorcycles. For the past few years she hopped around to Nebraska, Wyoming, and ended up here in the Rogue Valley, which she has fallen in love with. She enjoys spending time outside as much as possible, being on the river or heading over to the coast.
