About Lesa
Lesa chooses her work as an integrative primary care nurse practitioner so that she can witness individual growth, share power, and influence equity in our community. She enjoys caring for patients in their teen years through the end of life and is certified as an adult geriatric primary care NP.
Lesa is trained in allopathic and functional medicine, with extensive training in both. Working with her, you will co-create a plan using medicines, herbs, supplements, foods, exercises, daily behaviors, mind-body techniques, somatic modalities, and referrals to specialists for your holistic wellness and healing.
Some of the work she likes best are:
- Rebalancing gut and digestion
- Integrative mental health
- Optimizing sleep
- Hormone restoration
- Gender affirmation
- Reversing diabetes
- Optimizing cognition and attention
- Vibrant aging
- Metabolic revitalization and restoration of energy levels
Lesa grew up on the island of Kodiak, Alaska. In her free time, you will see her finding joy in running and weight training, embracing her inner teenage boy with her son, camping, paddling and jumping in rivers, reading tarot and good books about integrative psychology, looking for an opportunity to dance in a costume, or enjoying coffee in her back yard with her fantastic partner.
