Meet Monica

Hi! I am Monica Wilson, a Registered Nurse and certified Integrative Health Practitioner.

Ever since I can remember, I have had a fascination with the human body: how our organs work harmoniously together, how the food we eat gives us fuel, how an exterior object can cause interior imbalance... it is incredible!

I chose to dive deeper into healthcare and become a nurse. Through nursing school, I gained an endless supply of knowledge that I am forever grateful for. I started my career in the Air Force on a Medical Surgical unit where my eyes were opened to the world of chronic illness. Patients were getting incredible care for the acute treatment required, and we have come so far with our medical science knowledge, but there still seemed to be something missing.

We seemed to have forgotten about the basics of health.

I aim to educate and motivate my community to live in such a way that we are not settling on living with chronic pain, fatigue, illness, anxiety...etc being the only option.

I am committed to providing you with the resources and education you need to regain and maintain control of your own health.
