Mental Wellness coaching

I recently finished my psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner degree and became board certified. This degree expanded my depth of knowledge of mental illness, understanding of medication management, and therapy for mental health disorders. I was motivated to complete this other degree after seeing such a need for this in the perinatal community working as a midwife. However,

My continued research about medications to treat mental health and me delving into Dr Kelly Brogan’s work has at this time helped me decide to offer more holistic mental wellness services. At this time I will not be prescribing psychiatric medication, but I am happy to offer holistic consultations to discuss education and alternative healing modalities.

Many struggling with mental well being need a space to be heard and I am happy to provide that safe space. I am not negating the fact that sometimes medication can be warranted or desired and that we do have data showing safety of medications in pregnancy and breastfeeding. My major concern is that if we do not address the underlying causes of our feelings and other factors like poor nutrition, mineral depletion, inadequate sleep, rest, and movement we are just putting a temporary band aid on something that needs more.
