Extensive nursing expertise

Heidi has an extensive nursing background that includes inpatient care for the acutely ill in various hospital settings, outpatient management at a local internal medicine clinic, and the care of children at a local elementary school. Additionally, she has volunteered as a nurse locally, nationally and internationally. These years of nursing experience established a well-developed foundation of caring science, and developed philosophies of the patient as a physical, mental, spiritual and social being.

Additional years of training led Heidi to a Doctorate of Nursing Practice degree from Montana State University. National certification and state licensure allow her to autonomously diagnose and treat patients within her scope of practice.

Heidi previously worked as a provider in a family practice setting in Palmer, and recently relocated to Anchorage to begin practicing with the team at Natural Health Center.

A partnership with patients

When working with patients, Heidi begins by gathering an in-depth history and conducting an appropriate physical exam. She then orders diagnostic testing and/or referrals as appropriate, with a goal of creating a patient-centered plan of care in partnership with her patient and their family.

Mainstream medical and naturopathic solutions

A patient-centered plan involves identifying specific goals to be met and methods to meet these goals. As a family nurse practitioner, Heidi can prescribe medications and monitor their effects. Working at Natural Health Center allows Heidi to collaborate with other providers to give patients both mainstream medical and naturopathic solutions.
