Allison Gray MS, NP-C,
I entered the medical profession 15 years ago with a powerful desire to help people achieve their health goals.
In this time, I have worked in long-term care, primary care, Internal Medicine and in private medical clinics. Collaborating with patients that are committed to making real and lasting positive changes in their health has been the most rewarding part of my career.
Of great personal interest is improving and supporting cardio metabolic and overall health. As we age, the importance of setting and achieving health goals becomes much more difficult.
This is due to complicating factors like aging, new medical diagnoses and/or medications and difficulties navigating an unresponsive medical system.
I look forward to collaborating with clients of Northstar Holistic Medicine and being a part of their successful journey towards optimizing their physical and emotional health.
Allison has been practicing medicine for two decades.
She began her career as a Labor and Delivery nurse and became a Nurse Practitioner in 2016.
Allison realized during her Nurse Practitioner program she felt called to support prevention, health and wellness instead of symptom based medicine.
She has always incorporated mind, body and soul in the medicine she provides and believes the highest form of healing occurs when all systems and are taken into consideration
As a Functional Medicine NP, she has developed invaluable expertise through her years of training in hormones, gut health, detoxification, methylation/genetics, chronic and autoimmune conditions, psychedelic therapy and much much more.
By identifying upstream causes to your symptoms, we can achieve powerful healing downstream by providing a healing environment.
Your system knows what it needs, we just need to listen.

Justin Messer, ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER
Justin was raised in the countryside of Michigan, where days were often spent fishing along quiet rivers, camping under the stars, and kayaking through winding waterways. These experiences gave him a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors and taught him the value of patience, balance, and reflection.
Family has always been a central part of Justin’s life. Growing up in a close-knit environment, he learned the importance of supporting one another, celebrating together, and lending a helping hand in times of need. Those lessons shaped his values and continue to guide the way he connects with others today.
Over the years, Justin’s life experiences have deepened his passion for service and compassion. He believes that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported, and he strives to carry that belief into every interaction. Whether it’s through offering guidance, providing support, or simply being there for someone in need, Justin is committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
At North Star Holistic Medicine, he brings these values forward each day - grounded in his roots, inspired by nature, and dedicated to helping people find healing and balance in their own lives.
