All the Info
My goal as an Endocannabinoid Nurse Specialist is to empower you to heal from whatever wounds you have. I strive to empower individuals to reach optimal health and wellness by educating and guiding them in balancing their Endocannabinoid System and utilizing the therapeutic benefits of medical cannabis.
Finding and incorporating lifestyle changes is easier when we remove these barriers. I believe a healthy ECS is the first step in overcoming the challenges that hold us back from being well and reaching our full potential, whatever suffering, disease, or disability we face in our lives.
I entered the nursing profession with the goal of helping people and making a positive impact in their lives. However, after many years of working in the field, I found myself feeling frustrated and disheartened by the limitations of conventional medicine. I saw patients suffering from chronic pain, anxiety, and other health conditions, and I felt powerless to help them.
It was then that I encountered my own health challenges and was introduced to medical cannabis. The transformation that I experienced was nothing short of miraculous. I found relief from symptoms that had plagued me for years, and I was amazed by the positive impact that cannabis had on my overall well-being.
This led me on a quest to learn more about the benefits of medical cannabis and how it could be used to help others.
I became a cannabis nurse consultant and an integrative nurse coach (a health and wellness coach who is also a nurse!), and it has been the most rewarding experience of my career. I have the privilege of helping patients find the relief that they've been seeking and guiding them on their journey to better health.
