JOIN OUR TEAM

About Starbird

Our Bend, Oregon clinic offers mind, body, spirit, fertility care and women’s health. Our community is vibrant, empowered and seeking both guidance and connection in their care. Our clinic is seeking a second provider to grow and scale with us. 

We pay a gracious 70% to our independent contractors under a tiered structure based on revenue and patient numbers. We will review employment versus independent contractor based on you and your families needs. 

We serve women from menarche through menopause, receive practitioner/medical referrals for pain, MVA, a long list of gynecological conditions, acute illness and of course fertility through motherhood is our specialty. We cross refer with reproductive endocrinologists in Portland, Seattle and California for our IVF patients. We serve and hold a deep space for mamas who have experienced early, late or full term loss or loss of a child. We serve new born babies, kiddos and dads. Really we are a family clinic but we market and call in aligned, soulful women.

Chinese Medicine is the bread and butter of Kat Starbird’s practice, but intuitive energy healing and her unique offering, Sacred Medicine sessions, will remain her specialty. She is entirely cash based. You will be our insurance provider which we have a high demand for. 

ABOUT YOU!

REQUIREMENTS:

  • You are inspired enthusiastic and devoted to serving women and families in the childbearing years.

  • You have some amount of training in functional medicine and will understand labs, medication use and a broad range of diagnosable illnesses as well as the diagnosis and treatment within Chinese medicine. I will happily mentor you in treatment planning within Womens Health, combining functional and Chinese medicine if this is wanted or needed.

  • You are confident in Chinese herbal medicine and confident to treat imbalances on the fertility spectrum and within maternity care. Again, I will mentor and support, but would love someone with an existing tool set.

  • You both understand and embody sovereignty and Medical Freedom. As in, you would have held the line in 2020/21 and encouraged patients to choose what is right for them. 

  • You are confident in practice management, charting, treatment planning, submitting pre-authorizations and all things insurance charting (we have a biller) and offering a truly individualized care plan to each new patient under your care.

  • You can execute tasks and multitask while flowing with patients. 

  • You are fully capable to serve patients alone, however, willing to be mentored by me to create a cohesive, consistent and collaborative environment however this may be needed based on your skill and history.

PREFERRED:

  • You are preferably currently credentialed with multiple Oregon insurance panels or are willing to be!

  • You have either learned or are willing to learn your energetic capacity for serving patients - meaning you have a good sense of how many patients you can truly serve from full presence while feeling energized, healthy, and radiant within yourself.

  • You are able to see 20 patients a week and up to 40 if you would like.

  • You are able to flow between two rooms with an overflow third room, greeting a new patient every 30 minutes with an overlap. 

  • You are self lead, self reliable, and not only able but interested in finding solutions and creative ways to tend to the Life things that arise within yourself or a patient. 

  • You understand that every single patient you attract in your practice, within our space, is a reflection of you and or your healing and therefore you will only ever view your patients through a loving and neutral lens of compassion and acceptance. Should you be triggered, activated, or judgmental towards a patient, it is expected you have or seek the tools to process and release this, or communicate with me so we can refer out. Healing comes for our patients in a safe space and through an open heart coherent channel. We walk the walk! 

  • There is no perfect and we’re not striving for that, but we do expect anyone who works in the clinic have the energetic and emotional boundaries to leave all personal “stuff” at the door and be able to step into our sanctuary and be a clear healing channel. 

Non-Negotiable NO’s

  • Zero tolerance for gossip or lack of consciousness or intention within the clinic space

  • Zero tolerance for HIPAA noncompliance in our small community and beyond. Notably —  we never ever share patients names in the land of social media unless they have tagged us and taken the lead. 

  • This is not a casual short term job. We are seeking the sacred. Someone to be in sisterhood, community and co-creative collaboration. Someone who may eventually lead or take over the day to day while I expand into primarily facilitating retreats, ceremony and travel. Are you her?
