Hi, my name is Laura Churchman, and I am an integrative provider who is truly passionate about partnering with individuals to help them unlock their full wellness potential. As a wife and mother of three, I understand the importance of prioritizing health and well-being for the whole family. With years of experience and a deep commitment to holistic care, I work closely with my clients to uncover the root causes of their symptoms and develop personalized plans to support their bodies on their healing journey.

As a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (CPNP) and a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (CHHP), I have a diverse background that allows me to approach healthcare from a comprehensive perspective. I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Wright State University, where I gained a solid foundation in traditional medical practices. However, I always felt that there was something missing in the conventional approach, which led me to pursue a holistic certification at Trinity School of Natural Health.

Throughout my career as a Registered Nurse (RN), I have had the privilege of working in various healthcare settings, including hospital cardiac stepdown units, pediatric and adult homecare, primary care pediatrics, and case management for underprivileged elderly individuals. However, it was during my time at Integrative Pediatrics (IP) in Portland, Oregon, that I truly discovered the transformative power of an integrative approach to care. Witnessing firsthand the positive impact it had on the health and well-being of my young patients, I knew that this was the path I wanted to pursue.

I currently hold Ohio licenses as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner, allowing me to provide comprehensive care to individuals of all ages. In June 2023, I completed the CHHP program at Trinity School of Natural Health, further expanding my knowledge and skills in the field of integrative healthcare.

I am dedicated to empowering you and guiding you on your unique wellness journey. Together, we will work collaboratively to address the underlying causes of symptoms and develop personalized treatment plans that support the body's innate healing abilities. I am excited to be part of your wellness journey and look forward to helping you achieve optimal health and well-being, just as I strive to do for my own family.

Integrative medicine is an approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies. It takes into account the whole person, including their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is important to note that integrative medicine does not fix all health issues and may not be suitable for everyone. It is not intended to replace regular healthcare professionals and individuals should continue to seek their guidance and expertise.

While integrative medicine does not replace western medicine, it can complement it by offering additional perspectives and approaches. It is not a magic cure-all, but it may help in identifying the root causes of health problems, which can contribute to the uniqueness of this approach. Integrative medicine focuses on personalized, patient-centered care, and encourages collaboration between healthcare providers and patients to achieve optimal wellness.

It is essential to understand that integrative medicine is not a replacement for standard medical care, especially in urgent or emergency situations. Regular check-ups and consultations with your primary healthcare provider are still crucial. Integrative medicine can be seen as a valuable tool to explore different treatment options and support overall well-being, but it works best when combined with traditional medical practices.

If that is you and something you're looking for you have come to the right place! I am so excited to dive into this journey with you!
