I am a Holistic Registered Nurse with over 45 years in all areas of nursing. My clinical background in Emergency Department Nursing (ED), Intensive Care (ICU), Community Health, and Integrative Therapies is the foundation of my client services. As a nurse educator, certified Patient Advocate, and Cannabis Nurse Consultant, my focus is education and empowering each client to become their own advocate.
You have questions, you want answers.
I provide Medical Cannabis care with an emphasis on education and drug interactions. People today are not well-versed in the current use of medical cannabis. Being Master’s Educated Cannabis Nurse, I am equipped to educate and guide you on the proper use of this plant. I will also assess if you might benefit from other holistic modalities such as nutrition, massage therapy, hypnosis, and energy medicine.
Other services I provide involve Healthcare Advocacy. The healthcare team sometimes sounds as if they are speaking a foreign language. Having been a nurse in healthcare for over 45 years, I speak the language. I advocate for you to get the answers you’re looking for. My expertise in clinical nursing includes ICU, ER, nursing education, and holistic therapies. Working with you, your doctor, and the medical team I make sure you are listened to and receive appropriate care.
