Gentle Baby Pediatrics

I started out in healthcare as a registered nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). I went back to school to become a pediatric nurse practitioner because I had the desire to care for my patients as they grew. I loved working in the NICU and caring for those babies, but once they were discharged, I never knew how they were doing. 

 

As a Nurse Practitioner, I’ve served in primary and urgent care pediatrics. While I loved it, I knew there was something lacking. I felt pulled to deliver natural pediatric healthcare and serve patients who were holistic minded like me. 

 

With our first son, I felt a conviction on the way that healthcare was being delivered and decisions that were being pushed. Once we started asking questions and chose to bypass the scheduled guidelines, we were discharged from his pediatrician. That was the catalyst to my passion in natural health care and putting the authority back into the parent's hands.

 

I never want one of my patients to ever feel the intimidation and judgment that was placed on our family when we started making decisions that best serve our family. I am big on empowering parents to make educated decisions for their children free from judgement. My practice is a safe place where questions are encouraged, family is the center, and collaboration is key.
