I’ve lived in the Marinette area my entire life and have worked in healthcare for 25 years, first as a Registered Nurse starting in 2001 in cardiology and critical care, then as a Nurse Practitioner from 2014, caring for heart-failure patients.

Over time I realized I generally did not feel well. I was fatigued, overweight, had a hard time thinking, and was on the fast track to heart failure myself. So I made an appointment with a functional-medicine provider. That decision changed my life.

Two years later I’m down 100 pounds, my thoughts are clear, and I have the energy to get up and work out every day. Exercise is a huge part of my life now and healthy eating is second nature. It hasn’t been easy and it’s still a work in progress, but I believe in myself, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

I’m bringing that same knowledge and experience home to our community, so you don’t have to figure it out alone, and you don’t have to wait until things get as bad as mine did.
