I’m Annie, RN, BSN, founder of Reaching Wellness.

 

My passion for holistic health began through my own health struggles and years working as a hospital nurse. After being told my labs were “normal” while still battling symptoms like fatigue, gut issues, Hashimoto’s, brain fog, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances, I realized true healing meant addressing the root cause, not just managing symptoms.

​

Working in healthcare also showed me the limits of symptom-based care. While Western medicine is life-saving in emergencies, I believe lasting wellness comes from prevention, education, and supporting the body as a whole.

​

As a mother, I’m especially passionate about helping families and children build strong foundations for lifelong health through simple, sustainable holistic habits.

​

Searching for answers beyond conventional medicine led me to holistic healing, including Applied Kinesiology, muscle testing, nutrition, herbal support, emotional healing, and frequency medicine. By addressing the deeper imbalances in my body, I experienced profound healing - my thyroid antibodies normalized, fatigue lifted, skin and gut issues resolved, and my health and joy returned.

​

That journey changed the course of my life. I stepped away from bedside nursing and created Reaching Wellness to help others uncover root causes, restore balance, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

​

Beyond nursing school, I completed training in the Lebowitz Protocol, an Applied Kinesiology technique that uses bioenergetic muscle testing to identify root cause stressors within the body, and continue pursuing education in functional and holistic medicine.

​

I believe healing is possible when we address the root causes of dysfunction and support the body from the inside out.
