Hello Ladies... I GET you and am HERE for you.

   I am a person who believes in staying healthy.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Community Health Education from University of  Wisconsin-LaCrosse, a Master’s Degree as a Physician Assistant from Rutgers/UMDNJ, and more recently I became certified as an Integrative Women’s Health Coach through Integrative Women's Health Institute.

Initially, I absolutely LOVED my work as a PA and really felt as if I was connecting and helping people improve their health. Years went by, healthcare changed, my insights were telling me that patients were in need of something in addition to or outside of traditional medicine to optimize their health. There had to be a better way. 

 Around this time, I was learning about Functional Medicine and began to truly appreciate how treating an individual’s root cause of illness really makes sense. 

Functional medicine training clarified for me that my own diagnosis of Hypothyroidism will not improve with just a pill, but also requires improved gut health, hormone regulation, as well as a change in mindset, nutrition and movement. These are all interconnected. Functional medicine has helped me and numerous others to realize there IS more out there. 

I want to  share my knowledge and experience with the world.

I am passionate about getting this information to women and let everyone know that IT IS OKAY TO WANT TO FEEL BETTER and I have a better way.

So, Let’s DO THIS, the time is NOW, and I promise you it will be a fun and rewarding ride. 

YOU DESERVE IT!

Hello! 

I am so energized to share this true healing with you by getting to the root cause of your symptoms- such a different approach from my traditional medical training.   Feeling poorly DOES NOT have to be the norm.  Feeling your best can be! 

My commitment to healing started when the deep connections I made helping people feel better moved me to pursue nursing as a career.  I graduated from Fairfield University, got my Master’s degree in nursing, moved to the great state of Maine, and began my journey as a board-certified Nurse Practitioner.  After a decade in family practice, I joined an outpatient cardiology clinic for the next seventeen years to work more closely with the greatest muscle in our bodies, the heart.  This aligned with my deep-rooted interest in fitness.  I loved my work and helping people achieve improved health. 

Some time ago, despite doing everything I thought was “right”, I began suffering symptoms I’d never felt before, everything from fatigue and poor sleep, to weight gain, bloating, and brain fog.  Seeking relief inside the traditional healthcare system, I was being led to accept that this was just part of “the normal aging process”.  It’s NOT.  After suffering for years, I dove deep into the principles of functional medicine searching for help, and the results I achieved were amazing.  I completely re-balanced my body.   I feel great now, and YOU can too! 

This discovery began my renewed professional commitment to functional medicine.  I founded Telson Health with Charlene so we can help other women regain their health, and get back to feeling their best. Empowering women to feel confident in their decisions around health is my passion and it would be an honor to work with you.
