With over a decade of experience in emergency and critical care medicine, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Neuro ICU nurse for the past 4 years and as a paramedic for 9 years prior. Through this journey, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that both traditional medicine and holistic practices can have on patient recovery and well-being.
In my career, I’ve learned that healing isn’t just about treating physical symptoms; it’s about addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. This realization became even more personal when I faced my own health challenge: a tick bite-related illness. This experience forced me to turn inward and explore natural, holistic methods to heal my body. Through the use of vitamin therapy, supplementation, and other holistic approaches, I was able to reclaim my health and maintain overall wellness.
This journey has deeply shaped my philosophy as a nurse. I believe in the power of holistic nursing care to complement traditional treatments and guide patients on their own healing paths. My mission is to help others who are suffering, offering them not only clinical care but also support in exploring natural healing methods. By integrating conventional medicine with holistic practices, such as nutritional support, supplementation, and stress management techniques, I aim to provide comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and emotional needs of each patient. I am passionate about empowering my patients with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their health.
My goal is to support you not only during your recovery but also in maintaining long-term wellness, helping you navigate the complexities of critical illness and chronic conditions with compassion, guidance, and holistic solutions. Through my diverse background in emergency and critical care, combined with my personal experience in holistic healing, I bring a unique perspective to nursing. I am committed to providing care that truly honors the mind-body connection, helping you heal in a way that supports your overall well-being, not just your symptoms.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to health, guiding you with empathy, expertise, and a holistic approach to care.
