Wearing Yet Another Hat—And This One’s All About Healing Naturally

If you know me, you won’t be surprised to hear I’m stepping into something new again—but this next chapter is deeply personal.

Let me rewind for a moment. My career began in IT at an oil company, but when I was laid off in 1994, I took a leap and became a nurse. I worked in Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, and Pediatrics at our local hospital—and there, I fell in love with the tiniest patients in our NICU. That love led me to become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner.

Fourteen years later, I felt the pull to be closer to home. I returned to school to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and opened a private mental health practice to serve the growing needs in Oklahoma.

Today, I still travel monthly to California for NICU care while running my clinic here at home. But a surprising—and honestly, painful—twist led me down a new path.

The Accidental Detour That Changed Everything

In May 2024, my husband Jim and I were working on a gate for our property when, well... let’s just say I got run over. Literally.

Jim was in the skid steer and backing into a trailer attached to our side-by-side and accidentally pinned my left knee. At first, we thought it was just a minor injury. But weeks of pain, crutches, wheelchairs, and specialist visits turned into months of frustration and no real solutions—until a dentist of all people said, “I know a guy.”

That “guy” turned out to be an orthopedic surgeon in Houston specializing in Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy—a natural regenerative treatment using your own blood to promote healing.

Skeptical but desperate, I flew to Houston. I had one PRF injection. And within a week, I felt something change. By week four, I was walking again. No surgery. No prolonged downtime.

Just healing—guided by my body’s own potential.

That experience didn’t just heal my knee. It sparked something bigger.

From Personal Healing to Professional Expansion

After my recovery, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d learned. I dove into research, completed certifications, and began integrating these therapies into my practice.

I’m proud to now offer:

• PRF Joint Injections

• PRF Aesthetic Treatments

• Hair & Acne Rejuvenation

• Theriome Metabolomic Testing & Wellness Consulting

• Hormone Replacement Therapy

Today wearing yet another hat and this new branch of care focuses on whole-body wellness, with natural regenerative treatment helping the body do what it was designed to do—heal. Naturally. Gently. Powerfully.

Our newly renovated office is open, and I’d love to welcome you in to see the updates!

One change: Hank and Ellie, our beloved emotional support dogs, are now cheering us on from home. As much as we love them, patient safety always comes first.

The Winding Path to Wellness

I never expected a knee injury to launch me into regenerative medicine. But sometimes the hardest moments lead to the most meaningful changes.

While I can’t promise PRF will be the answer for everyone, I can say this:I’ve lived this. I’ve felt the frustration of being dismissed. I’ve experienced the joy of healing. And I’m honored to walk alongside others exploring the same path.

Thanks for being part of this journey with me. ❤️

Warmly,

Judith
