Registered Nurse
Michelle Foss
Hello, I'm Michelle. With 13 years of experience as a registered nurse and as a proud mother of four young children, my journey in healthcare has been both diverse and deeply fulfilling. I began my career in a Burn ICU Unit for both adults and pediatrics, followed by roles as a trauma nurse clinician, an end-of-life nurse, a nursing instructor at the collegiate level, and a triage nurse. My path has now led me to holistic and integrative medicine, a passion inspired by my mother, a board-certified and licensed nurse coach. I'm dedicated to helping others find true health and healing on a deep, rooted level.
Outside the clinic, you’ll find me chasing after my four young children, walking the dog, and soaking up the summer sunshine. I’m passionate about wellness, so I spend my free time drinking alkalized and hydrogen water and diving into holistic practices like coffee enemas, parasite cleanses, holistic nurse coaching, and homeoprophylaxis.
