After some time spent here, she became a travel nurse, traveling around the state of Wisconsin. She went to different hospitals and worked on a variety of units caring for the acutely ill patients.
She completed her Family Nurse Practitioner degree and found a passion for Holistic medicine. This led her down a path of enrolling in a Functional Medicine course and becoming a Functional Medicine Practitioner.
With her Nurse Practitioner degree as well as her Functional Medicine Practitioner skills and knowledge she wishes to serve the community in both Eastern and Western forms of medicine.
Jessica grew up in Southern WI and lives in Central WI now with her husband, Nathan. She enjoys traveling, reading, gardening, spending time with her pets, and being outdoors.
Jessica is never afraid to learn new things and is always looking for the next good book to educate her further on different practices in the healthcare world.

My Story:
Jessica has been working in the world of healthcare in one form or another for 12 years. She started out as a CNA in a memory care unit, where she grew to love spending time and caring for the residents there.
While in nursing school she worked as a CNA and an EKG tech. This allowed her to be able to learn about the heart rhythm while studying for nursing school.
Once she graduated from nursing school, she took a position on an ICU step-down unit caring for acutely ill patients in the Wausau, WI area. Here she was able to expand her knowledge in trauma patients as well as those who were in critical condition.
Health is mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to help you connect it all to find true health for yourself.
