My Story
I’m Anna. I am a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, with training in holistic health modalities.
I have over a decade of experience working in reproductive and women’s healthcare spaces, including in-patient Postpartum and Labor & Delivery Units, outpatient OBGYN clinics, an acupuncture office, and progressive telemedicine companies.
Beyond my education on the traditional medical path, I have studied functional medicine, lifestyle medicine, lactation education, doula support, guided imagery for health, mind-body coaching, and western herbalism.
I have experienced personal challenges in my own healthcare journey, which enrich my ability to provide whole-hearted and compassionate support. These include pregnancy and conception challenges, a traumatic birth experience, and an autoimmune condition arising during the postpartum phase. Learning to heal my own body and spirit using holistic modalities is what established and deepened my lifelong passion for holistic health.
I believe in the innate strength and capacity of women. I believe every woman has the ability to flourish and thrive when resourced, nourished, and supported.
