Dr. Lanika Buchanan

Dr. Lanika Buchanan is the founding doctor of Health Moves which was originally developed with her husband Andrew Max as a mobile clinic serving businesses on the Eastside. In 2002 Health Moves found a permanent home in Woodinville and has recently grown into a beautiful new location directly across from Woodinville City Hall.
Dr. Buchanan was born in Australia and sailed for 2 years in the Great Barrier Reef on a 22 ft sailboat before traveling throughout Southeast Asia, Nepal and India with her mother, all before the age of eight. She then settled in Big Sur, California in a rustic area without electricity, telephone or paved roads. After graduating from the University of California at Santa Cruz with a BA in Cultural and Medical Anthropology she again travelled around the world, adding Europe to her list of over 25 countries. Upon her return, with extreme determination, she completed a doctorate in naturopathic medicine concurrently with a masters of science degree in acupuncture from Bastyr University.

She is a guest lecturer for Bastyr University and Evergreen Hospital as well as a consultant on corporate wellness programs throughout Puget Sound.

She is an active member of professional organizations including the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP), The Washington Association for Naturopathic Physicians (WANP), and the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and the Washington Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Association (WAOMA).

Dr. Tom Klos

Dr. Klos has been with Health Moves for over 2yrs after practicing for 12 years in Kirkland, Washington. His focus is on primary care, gastro-intestinal, food allergies and joint manipulation.

He is happy to be back in Woodinville after a 25year absence where the childhood home on 5 acres of fruit trees and surrounding forest was out near Crystal Lake. He now lives in Seattle with his wife Jackie, who is an assistant professor in the UW's family medicine program, and young son Leo. (ND vs. MD, can you imagine the talks around their dinner table?)

While he obtained his BA degree at The Evergreen State College, he studied abroad in France, Italy, Greece and Turkey and played rugby. He spent a semester reading Plato's Republic & worked on a fishing boat in Alaska to pay for his senior year.

After college he worked for Wilderness Cruises as a deckhand spending the winters in Mexico and the summers up in Alaska. He then bought a bicycle and three days later joined two friends to spend the next 3 months cycling the western United States. After 3,000 miles and crossing the continental divide 7 times he cycled home over Stevens pass and back to Woodinville.

Dr. Klos later studied chemistry and biology and went to Bastyr University to obtain his doctorate in naturopathic medicine. He assures us he is staying put for now and is a home-body who enjoys cooking for his family.

Andrew Max

Andrew Max is the co-founder of Health Moves which was originally developed with his wife Dr. Lanika Buchanan as a mobile clinic serving businesses on the Eastside. In 2002 Health Moves found a permanent home in Woodinville and has recently grown into a beautiful new location directly across from Woodinville City Hall.
Originally from Southern California, Andrew first found WA State via the US Navy at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island where he served as an electronics technician. The passion for electronics started at a young age with his first business at 14 in car stereo sales and installation. This was soon followed by building computers in high school for a friends business. After many years as an electronics technician it was time for a change. Andrew found a zeal in the real estate industry. His 16 year multi-faceted practice had a varied career. His practice of real estate coupled with business brokering greatly assisted in the development of Health Moves with his wife Dr. Lanika Buchanan where he now serves as the Operations Director. As such, he presides over the majority of the day-to-day back office and technical duties. Andrew feels that his culminating background has prepared him for growing in business with his best friend Lanika as they look forward to a long future in life and business together. Andrew is unsure of the next venture at this juncture but is sure there will be one. With a lust for travel and delight for their son Kurtis, he and his wife feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to grow and explore together as a family as they seek new adventures in life.
