Clients are guided through a process to decrease dependency on pharmaceuticals and optimize the efficacy of safe and effective natural interventions.
One passion of Nurse Janna is Autism, which derived from experience with her own daughter's diagnosis. Her passion for cannabis for Autism came from first-hand experience, thanks to its efficacy de-escalating her daughter's puberty crisis, thereby sparing her out-of-home placement. An article detailing this story may be found on our News page. Nurse Janna has significant experience treating a variety of other health conditions as well, in both conventional settings and with alternative medicine modalities. Holistic nursing became her passion upon witnessing first-hand the lacking efficacy of most pharmaceuticals to produce any true healing for chronic illness states. This started in 2012, when she experienced a complete health collapse and experienced the limitations and potential harm of using pharmaceuticals. This prompted Nurse Janna to research and discover effective natural tools to promote healing and sustain optimal health. Her process to determine genetically-individualized supplementation is advantageous in targeting the underlying contributors to chronic illness, unlocking our body's potential for deeper healing. Nurse Janna is a founding member of Cannabis Nurses Network, serving on CNN's Speaker's Bureau, and she was also awarded Leader Of Nursing and Outstanding Author for Cannabis Nurses Media. As Education Project Manager, she also created a series of cannabis education courses (pending accreditation) specifically for nurses seeking knowledge to help their patients.
