The Functional Nurse Podcast - Nursing in Functional Medicine

An Interview with Jill Jefferson: a Nurse Coach Incorporating Functional Medicine into Her Private Practice

In this episode, I interview Jill Jefferson, RN, BSN, HWNC-BC.  Jill is a Registered Nurse with a National Board Certification as a Holistic Nurse and Nurse Coach. Throughout her nursing career, Jill has completed coursework in functional medicine, food as medicine, mindfulness, yoga, acupuncture, and aromatherapy. Committed to caring for her patients in the most holistic approach possible, she became a Board-Certified Nurse Coach and has completed coursework in Functional Medicine for Nurses. She currently sees clients at NH Health & Wellness Center in Nashua, NH.
We talk about her journey to becoming a nurse, a nurse coach, studying functional medicine, and now her decision to apply for nurse practitioner school.  With a background in economics and business, Jill took the bold brave leap to create her own practice, and hasn't looked back!  Many of us in the holistic nursing realm waiver on this decision to become an entrepreneur, so Jill's words and journey shared in this episode are so relatable!
