HER JOURNEY

Born and raised in Hickory, North Carolina, Tammy began her nursing career in neurology, progressive care, and intensive care. After several years in the ICU, she transitioned into aesthetics and plastic surgery, gaining extensive experience in injectables, skin health, and anatomy. This experience sparked her interest in the bigger picture of health and eventually led her to become a family nurse practitioner and pursue functional medicine.
