Throwback Thursday 🤍
These photos take me back into a season of becoming
NP school challenged me in ways I never expected. My first clinic introduced me to a different way of thinking about health-one that would eventually lead me down the path of functional and integrative medicine.
But this chapter also holds some of my deepest grief.
During this time, I lost my mom.
There were days I questioned myself, days I felt overwhelmed, and days I simply put one foot in front of the other. Looking back, I can see how both the joy and the heartbreak shaped the provider I am today.
Grief has a way of changing you. It deepens your compassion. It teaches you that healing isn’t always linear. And it reminds you that every person sitting across from you is carrying a story you may never fully see.
I’m grateful for the lessons, the growth, and the people who helped me along the way.
The path wasn’t easy, but it led me here 🤍
