My Journey from ICU Nursing to Holistic Health + What I’m Teaching Friday
Hi everyone! I’m really excited to be here, especially among nurses who are expanding what healthcare can look like!!🌞🌞 I’m a former travel ICU nurse turned holistic health coach, and one of the main tools I use is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). And I’m talking about in the Sandbox Session this Friday!!😱 I was initially drawn to health coaching for the freedom it offers. I’ve lived a pretty nomadic lifestyle (including some van life🚐) and wanted to be able to take my work with me, from wherever. But during my time in the ICU, I also became increasingly frustrated with the gaps in our system. I saw so many patients who knew something was wrong, had been advocating for themselves for months or years, and were repeatedly told everything was “normal” based on bloodwork, I also experienced this myself as a patient. I’m sure you’ve seen this too That’s what led me into holistic and functional health, where things finally started to make more sense 🤯 Let me know if you relate!! When I discovered HTMA, it completely changed how I look at the body. It can reveal patterns and imbalances often before anything shows up on labs, giving clients something validating and actionable to work with. I now use HTMA as a starting point to create personalized, targeted recommendations so clients aren’t just guessing. ✨This Friday, I’ll be doing a short 20 minute presentation inside the Sandbox Session where I’ll break down 🕺🪩 - What HTMA is - Why it can reveal what bloodwork misses - How I’m using it in my practice! If you’ve ever felt like labs don’t tell the full story, I think this will give you a completely different way to look at your clients. I’d love to hear- have you ever explored HTMA, had a test done, or considered using it in your practice? And let me know if you’ll be there Friday! Feel free to message me ahead of time if there’s anything specific you’d want me to cover 🌿🌞
