Retired in 2020, from my position as a Family Nurse Practitioner. My practice deviated from the “normal” practices of medicine, as I tended to look at the whole person rather than a disease and doing so required more time than allowed for me to visit with a patient.  I was going to be required to get the Covid Vaccine and recommend it toy patients. I had seen the research and in good conscience, could not do this, so I retired. I loved helping my patients, but following algorithms and standard recommendations, (usually prescribing medications, from which I saw patients having adverse effects) I felt I needed to leave traditional medicine. I see a need for and a more open acceptance of holistic practices. I have been on my spiritual journey, and I see a great opportunity to combine the use of spiritual, emotional, mental and physical modalities/practices in assisting people with wellness and anything that may be disrupting that state. I am a healer and teacher, gifts I have been given in this lifetime, and I would like to return to providing care for my fellow humans. I’m sorry if I was verbose, but I have a passion for this.
