Kate
REGISTERED NURSE

With over two decades of nursing experience across high-acuity specialities, I bring a deeply rooted foundation in evidence-based care to my current role in integrative and functional wellness. I am a seasoned RN with over 20 plus years of dynamic clinical background that includes Emergency Department (ED), Oncology, Anesthesia, and Clinical Trials.
As a graduate of Macalester College with a BA, I started my career in statistical research and realized I wanted to be in the clinic making a difference, not analyzing after the fact. I worked at the Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown doing research while attending Georgetown University to complete my BSN in Nursing. After multiple moves across the county including a stint in ED in Austin, Anesthesia research at Baylor University Hospital in Dallas, Oncology at Froedtert here in Milwaukee, I landed with MRDN Wellness in WFB with a commitment to integrating evidence-based practice to client-centered approaches to health, longevity and wellness.
I specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT), advanced lab interpretation and personalized wellness protocols. My practice is rooted in the belief that optimal health requires a balanced integration of hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors. I work closely with clients to demystify lab data and develop individualized treatment plans that support hormone, micronutrient, and inflammation balance to improve mood, cognition and aging gracefully.
My background gives me the keen understanding of both the science and the flexibility in the integrative space to support clients through complex health journeys. I am passionate about integrating both evidence based practice and holistic philosophies to support healing on all levels.
When not at MRDN Wellness, I am very busy driving my 16-year old triplets to multiple sport practices and walking with my pugs on Lake Drive with my weighted vest (always 10% of your total body weight for my peri/post menopausal ladies!)
