Amelia is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 13 years of combined nursing experience. She began her career as a registered nurse in surgical and critical care settings, later moving into ambulatory surgery and urology before expanding her expertise in integrative and functional medicine.

At one of the largest integrative medicine clinics in the Washington, D.C. area, Amelia worked with patients on hormone optimization, weight loss, thyroid health, gut health, sleep improvement, and stress management. Recognized for her skill with BHRT pellet therapy, she also trained new providers in insertion techniques. Most recently, she gained additional experience treating musculoskeletal and neurological injuries as the primary provider at a spine and orthopaedics clinic.

Amelia’s approach to healthcare is both compassionate and empowering. She believes patients thrive when they are equipped with knowledge, clear options, and personalized strategies for prevention. At MyHealth1st, she is excited to continue her work in integrative medicine, helping patients move beyond symptom management toward lasting wellness and vitality.

Outside of medicine, Amelia is a new mom to a sweet baby boy, so most of her time away from work is spent with him and her husband. She loves to travel, cook, and spend time outdoors hiking. To recharge, she enjoys taking her son for walks with her weighted vest—the combination of sunlight and movement helps her reset and feel accomplished. She’s also started organic gardening, inspired by her grandfather’s beautiful vegetable garden that made summer meals extra special. North Carolina’s bugs have proven to be fierce competition, so she welcomes any pesticide-free gardening tips!
