Ann Brown is a medical oncology nurse for over 15 years. She received her BS in Biology first from Penn State Behrend in 2003, and then did an Innovative Program for Nursing, it was 15 months and intense at times. She graduated from Edinboro University in 2005. She started on the floor as a student intern, then moved to PCT and then to the nurse role. She has a great floor to work on, but the chronic stressors of life and nursing have taken its toll.
She has been diagnosed with her own health problems, mostly related to acute on chronic stress. Through her own health journey, she realized that she enjoys the holistic, more natural approach to medicine. She enjoys bringing this to my patient and fellow healthcare workers. She has transitioned into a Transformational Health Coach and is working with exhausted healthcare professionals struggling with overwhelming challenges and burn out helping them build resilience by taking ownership of their wellbeing through the balance of work/life, stress, and self-care.
She lives in a small rural community and enjoys sharing her new knowledge of food as medicine and the benefits of good nutrition, eliminating exposures to toxins in our lives, and the need for self-care with those who are struggling with their own health.
