Why Arteriosus?
Arteriosus, PLLC is named after my own congenital heart defect, truncus arteriosus. Living with this condition has shaped how I see health, risk, and resilience.
During Covid-19, individualized care became nonexistent and to question the prevailing narrative, carried professional consequences. Extensive clinical practice, research knowledge, and my own health journey, has taught me that good nursing requires more than compliance. It requires discernment, courage, humility, and the willingness to ask difficult questions. Now is the time to act; to create a practice that helps others navigate complex health decisions with clarity, compassion, and credible evidence.

Frequently asked Questions
What exactly is functional health?
Functional health focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of wellness imbalances rather than just managing symptoms. We look at your unique biology, lifestyle, and history to create a sustainable path forward.
How does online consulting work?
We meet via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform or in-person. We can schedule a phone call too based on the query. This approach allows you and I to have deep, meaningful conversations from the comfort of your private space.
Do you replace my regular Dr./provider?
No, my services are designed to complement the care you receive from conventional medicine. I focus on specialized wellness assessment and lifestyle mentoring, bridging the gap between myself (Ph.D. functional nurse specialist) and primary care provider (MD, D.O, ARNP) and specialists (e.g., cardiologist, gastroenterologist, etc.), as needed.
How does billing work?
We use Practice Better for secure communication, booking, and payment. It’s an all-in-one portal where you can access your care/wellness plans and message me directly. Billing is transparent through the platform without sending codes to get approval from your health insurance plan.
Questions before you book?
If you have questions about which approach is right for you or simply want to explore how we can work together, please send a message. I am happy to help you determine if this path is the best fit for your goals.
