Today we’d like to introduce you to Jodi Westfall
Hi Jodi, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My path to healthcare began through a deeply personal experience. After losing my father to malignant melanoma just after my 21st birthday, I made a promise to become a nurse. This meant dramatically shifting from my fashion design major to nursing. Witnessing the impact of nutrition and alternative energy techniques during my father’s terminal illness became the catalyst for my holistic approach to healthcare.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
While I consider myself fortunate, my journey hasn’t been without challenges. Finding mentors and opportunities was crucial. The biggest hurdle has been offering comprehensive, personalized care that often falls outside traditional medical standards and insurance coverage.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Founded in 2017, my practice grew from a desire to provide the kind of healthcare I would want to receive. We specialize in whole-person care, offering a unique blend of services:
– Specialty medical testing
– Nutrition counseling
– Herbal and homeopathic treatments
– Energy work
– Traditional medical interventions
– Skin lesion diagnostics and treatment
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Starting Advanced Integrative Wellness was my most significant risk. I launched the business during a pivotal life moment – simultaneously going through a divorce, leaving an unsuitable job, and supporting two children. With nothing but a cell phone, laptop, and a borrowed exam room, I built a practice from scratch.
