About Me

---

A life in healthcare started with a personal experience. Needing acute care and hospitalization, I was comforted by my nurses. The next day, I told my mother, also a nurse, that I needed to care for others just as they did for me.

Returning the call to service, I devoted my life to help others and graduated RN school. Not long after this, I became a Family Nurse Practitioner.  

After more issues with my health, I realized how much taking care of oneself means to overall wellness. I have been practicing lifestyle medicine along with conventional medicine for many years. Seeking more knowledge, I became an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner.

Rooted Health & Wellness LLC was created to integrate the diverse practices of medicine with the uniqueness of each patient.
