After 17 years of service to the traditional healthcare system I have stepped away from it. I have three degrees from accredited universities – BSN in Nutrition, BSN in Nursing and a MSN in Nursing Education. I have worked in hospitals, in home health and in hospice. I have done extensive work in pediatrics, geriatrics, and with the general population.
Despite my vast experience in Western medicine, my belief system has always aligned strongly with Eastern philosophies. Because of this, throughout my professional career I have, whenever possible, encouraged patients to incorporate more holistic practices into their health regimen. Now I am able to bring that experience, knowledge and passion to Xanadu Wellness.
I have studied and practiced traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic herbs and modalities. Xanadu Wellness seeks to provide its patients with a wide array of services, including, but not limited to, comprehensive assessments, nutrition assessments, herbal remedies, detoxification, OTC and medication review. Please see our Services menu for a complete list of our many wellness offerings.
We provide flexible options for our clients when needed, including Zoom calls and in-home visits(within a reasonable distance). Please contact us at 985.334.7622 to set up an appointment.
As an experienced nutritionist and nurse (with a Bachelor’s degree in each and a Master’s degree in Nursing Education), Xanadu Wellness fully understands the crucial importance of diet in our health regimen.
The first step towards attaining optimal wellness is to recognize and act upon this key issue of diet. Xanadu Wellness will provide comprehensive assessments and guidelines to align with one’s dietary preferences. We utilize Ayurvedic concepts and intuitive eating to guide dietary education. Xanadu Wellness will work with you towards gaining a true understanding that what we ingest, how foods are prepared, the timing of consumption and how nutrients are absorbed are all necessary in a healthy, full, vital and energetic life.
As a stage 4 cancer survivor with a genetic immune deficiency (and absent a spleen), I have suffered with many immune-related issues. Through a complicated and arduous, yet successful, health journey I am now in a place where I can share my knowledge with others. Xanadu Wellness is a passion for me and I feel that it is my calling to reach and educate as many people as possible to help them benefit from my own complicated health history.
A healthy digestive system is essential for a healthy immune system. I have been led intuitively to this scientific connection. Initially dealing with what I believed to be simple constipation, I went down the rabbit hole to discover that our digestive systems are our “second brains.” Symptoms such as constipation and gas are not normal, but rather those symptoms and others are keys to unlocking holistic wellness.
