About

​Amy is a highly accomplished Family Nurse Practitioner, holding a Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University (2023) and certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). She graduated with Presidents’ Honors with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (2022) and magna cum laude with an A.S. in Nursing from Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences (2006). Amy also holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies from Montreat College (1999), where she played collegiate soccer.

​

With a background rooted in critical care, Amy spent 13 years in cardiovascular intensive care, becoming board-certified in critical care by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN). Transitioning to hospice care while homeschooling her son, Amy achieved certification as a Certified Hospice & Palliative Nurse (CHPN).

​

Fueled by a passion for health and wellness, Amy obtained certification as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2020. She completed functional medicine training at the Kresser Institute, and is an ADAPT Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. Amy continues to expand her expertise in functional medicine to address the root causes of disease by becoming a member of the International Society of Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI). She shares ISEAI's mission to reduce the human suffering caused by environmentally acquired illnesses through clinical practice, education, and research.

​

Amy is committed to continually expanding the tools she offers to support patients with complex, chronic conditions. As part of that commitment, she recently completed core training in Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) with Dr. Carolyn McMakin.

​

Her interest in this therapy began several years ago while studying her mentor’s work (Dr. Neal Nathan) on mold toxicity, Lyme disease, multiple chemical sensitivities, and chronic environmental illness. A brief mention of FSM immediately caught her attention, and she felt compelled to explore its potential to support patients struggling with environmentally acquired conditions.

​

Frequency Specific Microcurrent is a gentle, targeted therapy that uses specific frequencies to help regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.  Amy is especially interested in its effects on the autonomic nervous system and vagus nerve, which play a key role in healing, resilience, and recovery.

Integrating FSM into her practice allows her to offer another non-invasive, supportive option for patients navigating complex, multi-system illness, particularly those affected by mold and other environmental exposures.

​​

Amy brings 20 years of patient care experience, compassion, and a commitment to uncovering the underlying causes of illness. Her holistic approach emphasizes diet, lifestyle, stress management, sleep, and movement to enhance health and prevent chronic disease complications. Amy finds joy in guiding and empowering patients to achieve their health goals.
