I was born and raised in Coeur d'Alene Idaho, but have traveled extensively and lived in Italy for multiple years. Consequently, I have first hand experience with the failures of socialized medicine and our current medical system driven by the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. As a provider I strive to provide personal and wholesome medical care aimed at the individual. My education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies, a Masters of Science in Agricultural Education, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and a Masters of Science in Nursing in Family Medicine. I am licensed in the state of Idaho as a Registered Nurse (RN) and as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), and have worked in wound care with both chronic and acute patients as well as in multiple areas of acute hospital care. Previously I was licensed as a Hearing Instrument Specialist for 17 years and am currently a certified Stop the Bleed instructor. My faith in Christ and commitment to my family are central to my life. I've been married over 30 years to my husband Jay, raised nine kids, homeschooled for 25 years and help run a small family farm. When free time allows I enjoy painting, gardening, hiking and exploring .
Philosophy of Care As a Family Nurse Practitioner, my focus is personalized preventative family care for patients of all ages. I am committed to provide you with the best medicine offers through both traditional and alternative methods. My goal is to create an individualized plan of care for each patient and to identify issues and potential risks before they become life altering medical problems. If medical problems are already present, my goal is to minimize and control them with healthy immune supporting options rather than pharmaceuticals whenever possible. This can be very challenging, but I am committed to thorough and extensive research to find solutions for my patients. Consequently, getting to know my patients on more than a superficial level is important. I need to know and understand you and your life, therefore initial and annual appointments tend to take approximately an hour or more. While there may be times that short appointments are appropriate, I do not schedule overlapping appointments. And, I do make house calls when its appropriate.

For years we've been told that Breakfast was the most important meal of the day and that multiple small meals a day is the way to eat. This thought pattern has led to the inability of our bodies to function at their peak and not giving our bodies enough time to reset and deal with our constant consumption, therefore causing a myriad of health problems.
