Bobbie is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with ten years of experience as a critical care nurse and ten years of experience as a primary care nurse practitioner. Bobbie has always been passionate about treating the whole person, listening to her patients and truly hearing their stories. She found it was becoming more difficult in her traditional practice to cultivate meaningful relationships with her patients, thus the direction of her career navigated toward integrative and holistic medicine. Bobbie holds certifications in Lifestyle Medicine and Advanced Practice Holistic Nursing.
Before moving to Missouri from Northern California in late 2021, Bobbie spearheaded a successful lifestyle medicine program which she integrated into her primary care practice. She is excited to have found Kare Health and Wellness which shares her philosophy of whole-person health and affords her the time to thoroughly investigate the root cause of her patients’ symptoms and guide them on their journey toward health.
In her free time Bobbie enjoys reading, writing, music, and all things outdoors. She lives on a small farm with her husband, has two grown sons, and two beautiful granddaughters.
