Professional Background

I'm Jeanmarie, a Family Nurse Practitioner

As a practicing family nurse practitioner, former emergency department RN, and former sexual assault nurse examiner, I’ve spent much of my career supporting women through moments of vulnerability and transition.

I have worked in small community hospitals, large academic medical centers, and everything in-between, both delivering care and ensuring the safety of volunteers in clinical trials.

I currently practice in a family medicine setting, where I care for patients across the lifespan. I have a particular interest in neurobiology, epigenetics, and the role of hormones as neuroendocrine modulators, especially how these systems influence cognition, mood, energy, and overall well-being.

Why This Work Exists

My own experience with unrecognized perimenopausal symptoms and lack of support despite years in healthcare revealed significant gaps in how women are prepared for this stage of life. Reclaiming Her menopausal support programs offered through Desert Pulse Healthcare, LLC were created to offer the education, structure, and support I wish had been more accessible.

Additionally, medical care can feel rushed and impersonal. I have been a patient and I have been in the roles of bedside nurse and advanced practice nurse. Having experienced the whole spectrum, I know that medical encounters can feel disheartening and frustrating to both patient and provider. People are desperate to feel better and to be heard, while medical personnel want to have more time with their patients and not feel like care is being dictated by a third-party payer. Coaching can help bridge the gap between appointments and help women feel more confident going into a medical encounter.

I've seen people during the worst days of their lives and I know that significant past experiences help shape who we are. Similarly, everyday challenges such as not sleeping enough or being too busy to eat nutrients can be just as impactful to our overall health as a big event. Throw in symptoms of menopause and it's enough to spin an otherwise grounded and successful woman into a tailspin.

I help women understand what is happening and regain their ground.

My Approach to Health and Wellness

My approach to health and wellness centers around evidence-based prevention and early detection. Maintaining health means taking an active role, but I also realize women go through seasons when self-care can take a back seat. When mid-life changes feel unsteady, there is still an opportunity to pause, reassess, and move forward with greater intention.

I will meet you where you are. Whether you are in true turmoil and don't know where to begin, or you're feeling like you know what you need to do, but aren't quite sure how to prioritize or tie it together, I can support you as you recognize, sort, and create your own realistic plan for success.

A Bit More About Me

A life-long learner and humanitarian, I am grounded in a deep commitment to advocating for the dignity and well-being of all people. I am a lover of travel and books, consignment-store finds, patio dining and a great hike. I'm an an observer, a thinker, and a server, like my father, but I also love to video chat with my early childhood friends!
