My Professional Story

I am a board-certified nurse practitioner with over 17 years of experience in healthcare. My training in functional integrative medicine and anti-aging allows me to provide holistic care to help my patients achieve optimal health and wellness. I started my healthcare career as a registered nurse and subsequently as a charge nurse on a Progressive Care Unit, at a Stroke and Trauma Center. During this time, I realized that while modern medicine has excellent interventions to manage acute health issues, it severely lacks in preventing and effectively treating underlying root causes of chronic illnesses. With my desire to be able to have a direct impact on my patient’s health, I embarked on a nine-year-long journey of becoming a nurse practitioner. I received my Master's Degree graduating summa cum laude in 2013. I am a member of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, as well as Sigma Theta Tau and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies. My interest in alternative healing modalities and goal of providing holistic healthcare lead me to advanced study of functional medicine principles with one of the founders and experts in integrative medicine and IV nutritional therapy Dr. Mitchell Ghen. I learned the principles of functional diagnostics and advanced therapies, such as bio-identical hormone replacement, intravenous nutrition, the use of vitamins, supplements, and herbs, detoxification, etc. My training and years of clinical experience allowed me to eventually join Dr. Mitch in training hundreds of healthcare providers who want to respond to their patients' increasing demands for holistic healthcare. We provide various live and virtual lectures, seminars, fellowships, and consulting services.

My Personal Story

I was born in a small town in the Czech Republic and moved to the capital city of Prague at the age of eight. My parents and grandparents used to grow fruits, veggies, and herbs and had flower gardens. We made delicious jams, fruit syrups, and pickled veggies, and our meals were prepared at home with fresh ingredients. We used to gather medicinal plants, and when we got sick, we took homemade remedies to deal with most ailments and rarely went to go to a doctor.

I came to the United States when I was twenty-four years old, barely knowing any English. When my firstborn son was about two years old, I started going to college. He started getting ear infections after starting to go to daycare when I had classes and was put on antibiotics. Knowing this was not a good solution, I looked into natural options and started using Mullein Garlic and he never needed another round of antibiotics. This deepened my interest in natural remedies and holistic care. I live in Florida, with my husband Mitchell, who is my biggest inspiration in life and professionally. I have two amazing sons, Nicholas and Christopher, who are attending college; they both plan to work in the healthcare field as well. We love spending our time at our small five-acre ranch with twenty-four animals. Our paradise allows us to recharge from our busy work schedules and reconnect with Mother Nature. I love gardening and have established a food forest growing close to 100 plants. In my free time, I like to go to the movies, read, or relax on the beach. When time permits, I like to travel and explore exotic destinations and different cultures. I visited over 20 countries and it is a source of continued inspiration and appreciation of diverse perspectives.

FAQ

What is virtual healthcare and what are the main benefits?

Telemedicine or virtual healthcare is a modern approach to healthcare that has gained popularity due to its numerous benefits. This innovative technology offers an unparalleled level of convenience, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness, all while maintaining the quality of care.

One of the key benefits of virtual healthcare is convenience. Patients can receive medical attention from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating the need for travel, lengthy waiting times, and additional expenses. Virtual healthcare also enables patients to receive medical assistance outside of normal business hours, which is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules or for those who live in remote or rural areas.

Accessibility is another major advantage of virtual healthcare. Patients can easily access medical attention regardless of their geographical location, making it ideal for those who may not have access to a traditional medical facility. In addition, virtual healthcare is particularly beneficial for people with disabilities and mobility restrictions, as it eliminates the need to physically travel to a medical facility.
