A Little About Me

Hello, I'm Michaela (Mishayla). 


I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner. I am from the Midwest. I graduated from the University of Iowa with my Doctorate degree in 2014. I have been in the health care field for 17 years. I have a passion for working with children and families. I am a full time working mom of two active boys. I understand how complex it is to access mental health care. I can relate with patients who have been suffering with symptoms and don't know where to start looking for help, who may feel the stigma and fear that someone won't understand or see you.  

I am here to start helping change how care is provided. My goal is to provide preferential treatment to clients. To me this means being able to reach your provider with questions, improved access to care, improved quality of care, and extra time spent with clients getting to know how to best help you. 

In my personal journey I have struggled with medical conditions and with an integrative approach to care I was able to avoid taking more medication and feel well. Taking a holistic approach has changed my life and it can change yours as well.

I have seen first-hand how changing nutrition and adding supplements can alter a person’s physical health and mental health. I use protocols based on research to improve whole person wellness, reduce anxiety and depression, improve, cognitive function, and increase energy.
