Frequently Asked Questions

We know starting something new can feel overwhelming — and it’s normal to have questions! As your nurse practitioner and health coach, we’re here to guide you with clarity and compassion every step of the way. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about what we do and how we can work together to support your health goals.

1. What is an integrative practice?

An integrative practice combines conventional medicine with evidence-based holistic and lifestyle approaches. It looks at the whole person—mind, body, and lifestyle—to address the root cause of health concerns, not just symptoms.

2. How is integrative medicine different from traditional medicine?

Traditional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating illness with medications or procedures. Integrative medicine adds a proactive approach, emphasizing nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, and natural therapies to support long-term health.

3. Who can benefit from integrative care?

Anyone and everyone can.
Common areas include: Hormone imbalance, Gut health and digestion issues, Metabolic health and weight management, Stress, fatigue, and burnout, Chronic conditions and inflammation, Preventive wellness and healthy aging



4. What types of providers are part of an integrative practice?

      Care teams often include:

 Board Certified Nurse practitioners/ IFM trained
Certified Functional Medicine Holistic Health coaches






5. Do you replace my primary care doctor?

No. We complement your primary care. You should continue routine checkups, urgent care, and specialty visits with your primary physician. Our role is to go deeper into lifestyle, nutrition, and root-cause wellness. 

6. What can I expect at my first visit?

Your provider will:
Take a full health history-including reviewing any previous medical records/lab work
