Jillian joined the practice in Juy 2023. Sheis a Family Nurse Practitioner with a passion for providing comprehensive healthcare. With 12 years of nursing experience under her belt, she has had the privilege of caring for individuals across various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and aesthetic clinics. She writes:

"My dedication to holistic well-being extends beyond traditional healthcare. I've also pursued additional training in aesthetics, allowing me to offer a unique blend of medical expertise. I believe that feeling good about oneself is an essential aspect of overall health and happiness.

Currently, I'm thrilled to be working at a sex and body positive health clinic. This environment allows me to foster an inclusive and non-judgmental space where patients can openly discuss their sexual health, body image concerns, and other intimate matters. I strive to provide compassionate care, promote sexual education, and address the diverse needs of my patients, promoting their autonomy and well-being.

My goal as a nurse practitioner is to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health, while also supporting them in their journey towards self-acceptance and body positivity. I am grateful to be part of a team that shares these values and is committed to providing comprehensive, respectful, and affirming care to all."
