OBJECTIVE
I want to empower patients and communities to adopt holistic approaches to health
through the implementation of integrative healthcare platforms. As a Patient
Coordinator at National Integrative Health Associates my goal will be to utilize my
professional experience and expertise to provide clients with the tools they need to
attain and sustain healthy lifestyle practices through transformative care.
SUMMARY
I’m a professionally trained complementary healthcare practitioner with clinical
experience in integrative health and client management. I’ve excelled as a wellness
mentor, advocate and volunteer. Through my educational training, I’ve gained
confidence in my ability to offer comprehensive services to both alternative
healthcare providers and their respective clients. I’m also a dedicated lecturer and
peer educator for community-based health and wellness forums.
