As nurses, you are certainly aware that stress is one of the major medical problems of our times.Studies show that nurses are the single sickest group of workers in the workforce.Ouch!This is appalling. When I worked nights in the PCU, I noticed that there were many more obese nurses working nights than days.What have you observed?In my experience, I have noticed that without exception, obese nurses apply to work nights. They want to work nights. These dedicated, long term night shift nurses also are on multiple meds and often discuss how many meds they are on, compare them, etc.What strikes me is that they speak about it in such a way as if it’s the most natural thing in the world.Please understand, I am writing this out of compassion for my fellow nurses, not as a critique.I am telling the truth, and yes, sometimes the truth hurts.We all know by now that working nights increases your risk for disease.
A nurse is the classic poster child for, “Is this job making me sick?”

Annette Tersigni 58 by The Yoga Nurse, More.com:"Greetings readers. This is an absolutely fabulous time in my life. Why? I was once a Hollywood model and actress living a glamorous life, but while still enjoying a successful livelihood felt inspired to do something more with my life. This feeling led me to become a registered nurse, move to the East Coast and start my nursing career in the cardiac unit of a local North Carolina hospital. I first started using my therapeutic skills to help my co-workers deal with daily job stress. I then began incorporating yoga and meditation as forms of therapy with my patients and saw excellent results. I realized integrating yoga therapy and nursing was a valuable service that could benefit patients and people from all walks of life. With that in mind, I founded Yoga Nurse Medical Yoga and Stress Management and created a new field in health care called Yoga Nursing and I am now called the Yoga Nurse." http://www.more.com/13752/20135-annette-tersigni-58

my herbal practice I draw from Chinese, Ayurvedic and Western herbalism, and from modern healthcare to help people improve their sense of well-being.
Nutritional practices passed down through the ages lay a solid foundation for health. Using herbs to reawaken the body’s natural healing systems can rebalance, restore, and ease function.
As a healthcare provider I have counseled people on managing disease and improving wellness for more than eighteen years. In my practice I have found that nutrition and herbs can make a significant difference in an individual’s health. I invite you to experience this difference.
I offer private consultations – in person or by phone – as well as group instruction.
