In this engaging episode, host Brigitte Sager introduces special guest Rose Acholla, MSN APRN FNP-C RN NC, an experienced ICU nurse and family nurse practitioner, who shares her inspiring journey from traditional healthcare to holistic and functional medicine. With 13 years in critical care and as an NP since 2021, Rose explains how she began to feel limited by conventional approaches in primary care. Seeking a deeper way to support her patients, she found functional medicine through INCA, completing courses in Functional Medicine for Nurses and Nurse Coaching. Rose then launched RA Coaching and Consulting LLC in December 2023 to offer a holistic approach to wellness.

Operating in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, her mission is to provide personalized care, especially for underserved populations in their 40's to 60's, empowering them to take control of their health and wellness journey. She is especially passionate about working with clients on managing chronic disease, promoting wellness, and empowering women through their hormonal shifts and life transitions. Throughout, Rose highlights the importance of meeting clients where they are, tailoring care plans to fit each individual’s goals, needs, and capacity for change.
