A "Bit" About me
When your car breaks down, Do you paint the car OR do you look under the hood?
Same with dis-ease in your body.
This practice has a name, Functional Health. It is where we determine the cause of the illness not merely mask symptoms.
You are worth More than pill for an ill.
I certainly did not set out to become a Dual Certified Nurse Practitioner, Functional Health Practitioner, Certified Life & Health Coach, Health Advocate, grateful recovering self-sabotager, truly blessed and encouraged by life's challenges.
But, this is where I am, dedicated to serve and repair.
My passion and mission is to teach, share and encourage you to live well and feel well.
Being a Practitioner and Coach allows me to create the difference in health outcomes of my patients and clients.
Raised in a nutrition based home with my Mom, the pioneer against processed foods and products that cause the problems we face now from food processing, was the wind beneath my wings. She laid the foundation for me to build on. Learning through Moms persistence, I understood the importance of caring for self with proper nutrition and NOT conforming to unhealthy marketing trends.
I was that kid with the raw peanut butter on hard sprouted grain bread, embarrassed that I did not have bologna and American on white with no crust.
Apparently survived that humiliation and now am forever grateful for the embarrassments and a better understanding of true healthy living.
Pursuing my Masters in Nurse Practitioner with the dream of running my own clinic where I could teach and help people to heal in a small mountain town was the motivation.
I ultimately settled into city life working for local doctors and hospitals.
Working for years and not seeing patients get better started to wear on my whole being.
It was my job to help my patients get better by prescribing meds and handing out home instructions, no time to ask what they wanted or discuss goals and possibilities with them. Seeing patient after patient get sicker not well, and unable to accomplish the goals set forth by the system, drove me to unhappiness in my career, I worked so hard for.
"I realized this was not the way I want to practice health care.
There was no Health involved in it and no one seemed to care!"
Seeing the disconnect between patients and their health system, what they were told to do and what was happening were not aligned. Patients were sad, scared, ashamed and felt they made the doctor upset with them therefore leading to poor follow-up and a deeper cycle of patient-self defeat.
This presented an unhealthy, non-therapeutic relationship resulting in patients afraid to speak up and take action.
The solution is much easier than the cycles of illness and frustration. Discovering what is leading to the health problems is basic care, and then you have the choice to correct course and reverse disease and illness.
Clients who feel empowered to voice their health goals discover what the obstacles are, then simply move forward and feel healing take place.
Awareness of body, mind and health, understanding how you got where you are wont get you where you want to be but is important to see.
We all have unique experiences, beliefs about life and truth affecting our habits.
I offer the perspective and the experience and tools to my client to make the changes they know they want to make. They discover easy tools to fit their lifestyle without much disruption, allowing lasting results and better health.
A Practitioner and Client focused on the same goal is POWER.
Move That Mountain is a symbolic term for me,
this saying kept me pushing through to my better life,
I believe it starts with just a push.
Who I am and what I do comes down to why, what I do is unique, just as we all are.
Its because it works NOT for a short time, It lasts a lifetime. I am living the proof!
