A Passion For Wellness Rooted In Personal Experience

My own health journey inspired the formation of Maxin Wellness. The ability to relate and guide my clients onto a road of improved wellbeing is something I cherish! I wanted to introduce my own story here.

My story starts in 2012, I had just graduated with my bachelor’s degree in nursing and was ready to help people! As I settled into my role working with post-op cardiac surgery patients, I started to become discouraged. I would try to talk about nutrition and exercise, but this was often met with resistance. It was disappointing to me that people weren’t more interested in disease prevention. I had similar experiences working in oncology and the emergency room. This left me feeling unfulfilled in my professional role and I was left searching for something more. I thought to myself, maybe if I become a nurse practitioner, I will have the impact I am searching for…?

Fast forward to 2016 and I am working in the hospital as a nurse practitioner. I quickly realized that when people are acutely ill, wellness and prevention go ignored. So I decided to take a position in the community setting that would allow me up to an hour with patients. I was so excited to have time with patients, to be able to answer all of their questions and give them advice. Even in this setting, the appointments still centered around medications, side effects, and refills. So there I was again, feeling unfulfilled and wanting something more.

My first introduction to functional medicine and nutrition came from the client perspective. My experience was so profound, I knew almost instantly this would be my way of having the impact on the world I had been searching for nearly 10 years to find. I decided to complete a certification as a functional medicine provider and Maxin Wellness was born. This has given me the opportunity to provide health and wellness services that are personalized based on client history, needs, and goals.

This is not a one-size fits all approach to care. Humans are like snowflakes, no two are the same! As we all know, humans are unique and need customized care.
