I created this practice as I sought better health and balance in my own life. Through that experience, I was reminded that Lifestyle Medicine prevents, treats, and, in some cases, reverses chronic disease. I also learned that imperfection is part of the process and that there is room for flexibility. It is possible and realistic to add supportive activities to our lives, creating new pathways toward better health and well-being.

I’m a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse with more than 24 years in healthcare and over a decade as a nurse practitioner.

I trained as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the University of Massachusetts, including clinical training at the Presidio of Monterey through the California Medical Detachment. Although I’m a civilian, training in a military medical environment shaped my standards for precision, clinical care, and attention to the whole person. That perspective has continued to influence the way I practice medicine today.

I also earned my Master of Science in Nursing Education from Oklahoma City University, which shaped the way I translate complex medical information into practical understanding people can use.
