Yes. Obesity is complex. It is not simply about self-will and "pushing yourself away from the table." However, optimal health also isn't as simple as prescribing a medication. Prescribing weight loss medications can offer profound life changes for many, but it is important to me to also integrate sustainable lifestyle changes, and unique to my practice, I have created a comprehensive, individualized physical health virtual program that addresses various underlying issues that lead to obesity. Clients are also encouraged to join my daily yoga classes with no additional fee.

GLP-1s specifically are prescribed as part of my primary care practice. There is no membership. Just like any other medication, whether for hypertension or anxiety, this is part of the treatment plan. You pay for my service.

Not only do I enjoy education myself, a life-long learner and true nerd at heart, I really enjoy curating this knowledge for my clients. Maybe that's the homeschool Momma in me, maybe that's just part of who I am, an educator, or maybe I've witnessed too many women bullied in their childbearing experience, parents belittled and overpowered when seeking care for their precious child, or too many really intelligent people simply ignored, even dehumanized, in my career to motivate me to want to arm them, or empower them with education.

Eden Family Practice is located in Lexington, Kentucky on the east side, in Hamburg, at 1795 Alysheba Way, Suite 1204. The office is just off of Man O' War, near Costco. It is on the second floor, so for those who are limited in their ability to climb stairs, I am happy to offer a home visit. As well, I can do this for families with multiple children, as those consults are typically much more easily managed when the children have their own space to play. It allows parents to relax a bit too, less worried about having to entertain their little ones while we are discussing their health and wellness.

I am licensed to practice as a family nurse practitioner and certified nurse-midwife in both Indiana and Kentucky. Because I practiced in Indiana for more than a decade before moving to Lexington, about once or twice each month, I…

My background is quite diverse from studying as a midwife, an herbalist, a family nurse-practitioner, and a yogi. I value Earth Medicine, conventional science, and the innate healing power of our own bodies. I respect plants, science, my clients, and the planet. When I work with clients, I do have a sense of philophies that guide me and this is where I find connection.

Having the spirit of a healer is both an art and a science. It is about compassion and meeting each person where they are at on their healing journey. It's about empowering them through education to be their own best healer. These philosophies are my compass of sorts, a way of engaging with my clients.

Each Individual is an Evolving with Their Own Inherent Wisdom
