Laura
Hello, my name is Laura Rear, DNP, NP-C and I am excited to announce my new wellness clinic. I have a passion for living a healthy lifestyle and love sharing my knowledge to support others on their wellness journey.
My journey has allowed me a greater appreciation of the human body. When given the right ingredients, our bodies have the amazing ability to heal. Unfortunately, we live in a very toxic world. From toxins in the environment, in our foods, in household cleaning supplies to cosmetics, it is no wonder most people are overwhelmed with chronic inflammation, and thus, chronic disease. Add in chronic stress, especially over the last few years, and we have a recipe for disaster.
