A Personal Path to Purpose


Gretchen’s professional mission is deeply informed by personal experience. In 2005, autism touched her family, prompting a search for answers beyond conventional Western medicine. When standard approaches fell short, she began exploring integrative and functional medicine, guided by a strong conviction that healing and recovery were possible. This journey expanded through firsthand experience with conditions including autism, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic Lyme disease, Hashimoto’s disease, lupus, and other autoimmune disorders.

In 2015, Gretchen achieved dual board certification through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the American Nurses Credentialing Center. She is an active member of the American Nurses Association, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, and the National Association of Environmental Medicine.
