Let me tell you a little about myself…

As well as embarking on my own wellness journey back in 2011, I have been in the medical field for over 15 years. I received my Associates degree in Nursing from North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC), and then continued on  to the University of Iowa for my Bachelors of Science in Nursing and Doctorate in Nursing Practice degrees. I am a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. In 2021, I published an article in the Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing and received my certificate in Obesity Medicine from the Obesity Medicine Association. I am a Chek level 1 coach, a certified yoga instructor, Reiki practitioner, and lover of education. Currently, my free time is spent working towards board certification in Lifestyle Medicine through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and receiving a Functional Medicine certification through Functional Medicine University. I place a strong focus on continuing education and attend many conferences each year, learning about new modalities, treatments, the latest research and ways to improve my practice and my patient’s health. There’s always more to learn, and each new insight helps us piece together a clearer picture.

I believe that a ‘one size fits all’ approach rarely works, which is why each client receives an individualized treatment plan and patient centered approach. We offer a wide range of options to suit everyone’s specific needs, with treatment recommendations ranging from medication to mindfulness. If you are seeking unparalleled health services from a medical practitioner who focuses on the whole person, I would love to hear from you!
