You don’t need to have everything figured out before booking.

Sometimes it’s just about starting the conversation — and figuring out what’s next together.

There’s usually more we can do than you think.

If you’ve been putting something off—this is your sign to book it.

I work with people both with and without primary care providers, helping with everything from ongoing concerns to things you just haven’t had time to deal with.

Not sure if it’s a good fit? I offer free 15-minute discovery calls 🤍

A lot of people assume you need a referral for a mammogram — but that’s not always the case.

In Nova Scotia, you can self-refer starting at age 40.

Knowing when to start screening (and whether you’re higher risk) can make a big difference — and it’s not always straightforward.

If you’re unsure where you fall, it’s something we can walk through together.

Migraines aren’t just “bad headaches.”

They’re actually one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and affect millions of Canadians.

Migraines can come with symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual changes like aura.

If headaches are happening often or interfering with your work, sleep, or daily life, it may be worth getting assessed.

There are treatment options - and you don’t have to just live with them.

You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need the “right” words.
And you definitely don’t need to know which box you fit into before booking.

If something feels off, that’s enough to start.

Appointments are booked by time so we can actually talk things through — whether that’s one concern or a few, medications, focus, hormones, fatigue, or figuring out next steps together.

If you’ve ever stared at the booking page wondering “what do I even book?” — this is for you 🤍

Book the time that feels right. We’ll figure it out together.

Booking healthcare shouldn’t feel intimidating or confusing.

You don’t need to know the “perfect” appointment type or have everything figured out before booking. Some people come in for a full health overview, others for one specific concern, and many just want help navigating next steps.

Appointments are booked by time to allow flexibility, and you’re only charged for the time we actually use. Longer visits exist to support more complex concerns, not to force a certain type of care.

I also believe strongly in working with primary care providers, not replacing them. If you have a family doctor or NP, I encourage using them whenever possible and I’m always happy to help support that care.

If you’re unsure what to book, start with a general appointment - we’ll take it from there.

Private Nurse Practitioner care is one option within the healthcare system - and it isn’t the right fit for everyone.

For some people, it offers improved access, longer appointments, and a preventative, patient-centred approach to care.

If you’re unsure whether private NP care is appropriate for you, I’m always happy to help clarify or answer any questions you may have.

Private Nurse Practitioner care can raise questions, especially around cost and coverage.

This post is meant to help clarify how private NP services work, what “paid privately” means, and how insurance may apply.

Transparency matters. If you’re unsure whether this model is the right fit, questions are always welcome.

I get this question a lot - and it’s a fair one.

Nurse Practitioners are licensed healthcare providers with advanced clinical training who work across many healthcare settings. We assess, diagnose, treat, and help coordinate care, with a strong focus on the whole person - not just one symptom or one visit.

This is a general overview, and care always depends on the individual. If you have questions, feel free to ask - I’m always happy to clarify.

Hey Everyone! I’m Abbey, a Nurse Practitioner who will soon be working at Proactive Health & Performance. This has been almost five years in the making, and I’m so excited to finally share this.

Born and raised in Nova Scotia, I live an active lifestyle and bring both professional and personal experience into my practice. After going through multiple sports-related injuries and recovery myself, I understand firsthand the physical and mental challenges that can come with injury, rehabilitation, and long-term health.

My background spans primary care and mental health, which has shaped a patient-centred, preventative approach to care that looks at the whole picture: physical health, mental wellbeing, and lifestyle.

I’m incredibly grateful to be joining such a collaborative team at Proactive and can’t wait to begin caring for patients.
