Allyson Castillo
Office Manager
Allyson Castillo is our office manager at Ripple. She is the hub that keeps everything running smoothly, whether it’s managing billing, front end processes, or coordinating the many details related to your care, Allyson is at the center of it all. She also plays a key leadership role in supporting our team of providers and admin as well as owners, Emily and Jeff. From running every report to overseeing day-to-day operations, she ensures that both the clinical and business sides of Ripple function seamlessly. Her dedication, organization, and problem-solving skills make her far more than just an office manager—she is the glue that holds it all together.
Allyson is also a certified nutritionist with a Master’s degree in Holistic Nutrition Science from NUNM. Her passion for holistic wellness informs her approach to both her professional and personal life. She believes in nurturing well-being through everyday habits that create balance, vitality, and joy. Allyson’s love for wellness is deeply rooted in her commitment to practices that foster long-term health and energy.
When she’s not at work, Allyson enjoys sunny walks, where she can soak in nature’s beauty, as well as knitting, cooking nourishing meals, and spending quality time with her daughter, Juniper.
Daniel Vanderkin
Front Office Lead
Daniel Vanderkin is our Front Office Lead at Ripple. Working closely between reception and administration, you will see Daniel at our front desk and hear him over the phones helping to keep the day-to-day of the clinic flowing. In addition, Daniel is here to provide support to our Office Manager, Providers, and Owners wherever needed, from daily tasks to ongoing projects at the clinic.
Daniel brings varied professional experience to the Ripple Team, with a background in business ownership and administration, communication, training, sales, marketing, and manufacturing. Most recently, after ten years of being an owner-operator of a local marketing and website creation company, Daniel worked for a number of years as a Safety Specialist with a large manufacturing company in Vancouver. He has a passion for providing people-forward service, considered and conscientious communication, and support at a high level for the teams he’s a part of and the individuals under their care.
Born in Portland, raised in Vancouver, and residing in Washougal, when not at Ripple, Daniel is most often found rope-flowing or trail running in the local woods, playing music, or with his nose in a book and his cats (Ducky and Goose) on his lap.
Kirsten Addison
Medical Receptionist
Kirsten is our medical receptionist at Ripple, and often the first friendly face or voice you’ll encounter. She oversees the schedule of every provider and is your go-to for any patient services or questions about your care. Kirsten’s warm presence and organizational skills help keep the flow of the clinic running smoothly, making sure every patient feels cared for from the moment they connect with us.
Kirsten is a seasoned administrative professional with a passion for holistic health and serving others. As owner and operator of a small complimentary health practice for 10 years, she was a licensed massage therapist and private yoga facilitator on the east coast before returning to the PNW. Prior to arriving at Ripple, Kirsten served Clark County families as a Child Camp & Family Educator through the Early Head Start program providing connection, support, and information on preventative health and developmental topics to prenatal women and families with preschool aged children. She is excited to be with Ripple now and looks forward to supporting Ripple’s patients, providers, admin staff, and owners.
Kirsten spends her time away from Ripple enjoying the slow life. She practices yoga daily, experiments in the kitchen with healthy whole foods and new ways to bake, refinishes previously loved wood furniture, enjoys drawing, painting, reading, playing board games, and exploring new foods, cultures, and places with her husband.
