Integrative Care Scope & Boundaries

Clear scope and boundaries are a way towards ethical, effective medical care. They support safety, trust, and shared expectations.

What this care offers

Integrative Nurse Practitioner care here is licensed medical care focused on whole-person understanding, thoughtful assessment, and sustainable change over time.

This work may include:

  • a comprehensive medical history and review of your current concerns

  • lifestyle and systems-based assessment (sleep, nutrition, stress, movement, environment, and patterns over time)

  • review and interpretation of relevant labs, imaging, and medical records

  • clinical recommendations within NP scope, introduced thoughtfully and proportionally

  • coordination with your existing care team when helpful and with your permission

  • referrals for evaluation or care outside this scope when appropriate

Care is collaborative and intentionally paced. Decisions are made together, with attention to safety, fit, and your capacity.

What this care does not offer

To remain responsible and within scope, this practice does not offer:

  • primary care or full-spectrum ongoing medical management

  • urgent, emergency, or crisis medical care

  • after-hours or on-call services

  • inpatient or hospital-based services

  • rapid, protocol-driven care or “one-size-fits-all” plans

  • performance optimization, longevity medicine, or biohacking

  • comprehensive psychiatric medication management

If you are experiencing an urgent medical concern or emergency, please seek immediate care (urgent care / ER) or call emergency services.

Relationship to counseling and spiritual care

Integrative wellbeing care is offered as a distinct medical pathway. It is not combined with counseling or spiritual direction within the same visits.

If you are also working with other supports — such as a therapist, counselor, or spiritual director — we can talk about how those supports fit alongside your medical care, if that feels helpful to you.

Collaboration and referrals

This practice works alongside other clinicians.

When helpful, I may recommend:

  • additional evaluation, testing, or specialty care

  • a referral to another provider

  • collaboration with your existing primary care or specialists, with your permission

Referrals and collaboration are signs of thoughtful medical care and professional integrity.

Your role in care

Healthcare here is collaborative.

You are encouraged to:

  • ask questions

  • share concerns and preferences

  • participate actively in decisions

I bring clinical training, medical reasoning, and perspective. You bring lived experience, values, and insight into your body. Both are essential.
