🤍 Hi, I’m Loretta.
If you’re new here, welcome! I thought I’d share a little about myself and the journey that led me to becoming a Nurse Practitioner.
I started my nursing career over 16 years ago, beginning in aged care before moving to Monash Health. There, I worked across acute medical and surgical wards, gastroenterology and cardiothoracic services. It was during this time that I built a strong clinical foundation before discovering my passion for primary care, where I’ve now worked for the past 10 years.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for thousands of patients - from newborn babies through to older adults. Every patient has a story, and I feel incredibly privileged that people trust me to be part of theirs. Those experiences have shaped the clinician I am today.
Becoming a Nurse Practitioner wasn’t something I decided overnight. It was a goal I worked towards for many years, completing two Master’s degrees back-to-back while working, raising my two beautiful girls, Savanna and Delilah, and gaining the clinical experience needed to provide safe, independent care.
For me, healthcare has never been just about diagnosing illness or prescribing medication. It’s about listening, understanding what’s important to you, and making sure you feel heard.
Starting my own practice has been one of the biggest and most rewarding steps of my career, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way.
Whether you’re an existing patient or have only recently found my page, thank you for being here. I hope I have the opportunity to meet you one day.
