I'm so excited to share this article about RISE Pediatrics!

Starting this practice has been a dream that's been years in the making, and it means so much to have the opportunity to share a little more about why I do this work and the kind of care I'm hoping to bring to families in our community.

I know how much parents carry. We all want our kids to be healthy, happy, and thriving, but sometimes it can feel hard to find the support, guidance, and time you need along the way.

This article shares more about my approach to care, the importance of building real relationships with families, and my belief that healthcare works best when parents feel heard, supported, and never rushed.

A big thank you to Macaroni KID Annapolis for featuring RISE Pediatrics!

I'd love for you to take a few minutes to read it and learn a little more about what's coming. ☀️

One of the reasons I decided to expand RISE to include Direct Primary Care is that I wanted to offer families the kind of pediatric care I would want for my own children.

More time.
Better access.
Stronger relationships.
A provider who truly knows your child.

After months of planning and preparation, I'm excited to share that RISE Pediatrics Direct Primary Care is expected to welcome enrollments in mid-July.

If you'd like to be among the first to hear details when registration opens, be sure to join the waiting list.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along and supported this vision. I can't wait to welcome families into this next chapter of RISE Pediatrics.

✨Learning Today. Impacting Generations Tomorrow.✨

If you're anything like me, you know just how invigorating, inspiring, and catalytic a great conference can be. It's an opportunity to step away from the daily grind, recharge professionally, and immerse yourself in fresh ideas, innovative thinking, and meaningful conversations. There's something powerful about being surrounded by others who share your passion for helping children thrive. I always leave with renewed energy, valuable connections, and practical tools I can bring back to my patients and families.

For all my pediatric colleagues, come join me in Nashville and let's learn, grow, and reimagine the future of pediatric medicine together! 💜✨

A4M Pediatrics Reimagined: The Future of Pediatric Medicine Summit is being held this September in Nashville, TN. This 3-day conference is focused on functional, integrative, and root-cause approaches to some of the most challenging pediatric conditions we see every day...including ADHD, obesity, metabolic dysfunction, eczema, allergies, gut health, neurodevelopmental concerns, mental health, and more.

If you're passionate about getting to the root cause of chronic disease and helping children build lifelong health, I'd love to connect with you there!

Big news over here at RISE ☀️

Pediatric Direct Primary Care will officially open this summer, and the waitlist is now open to families who want to stay in touch as we approach launch.

I’m incredibly excited about this because it creates the kind of care I’ve always wanted to offer. More connection, more continuity, and more space for real conversations about your child’s health as they grow into healthy, happy humans.

This membership model is designed for families who want a provider they can actually reach, ongoing support throughout the year with unlimited visits (sick and well!), and trusted guidance in a world full of overwhelming and conflicting information online.

As both a pediatric nurse practitioner and a mom of two boys, I know how meaningful it is to have someone in your corner who truly knows your child.

If this sounds like the kind of care you’ve been looking for, you can learn more and join the waiting list here —> www.risepediatricsmd.com/pediatric-direct-primary-care

It breaks my heart that so many companies can sleep at night knowing they’re prioritizing profits over the health of our children and setting future generations up for failure. 💔 When will it end?!

Our kids deserve better. Let’s teach them what REAL nourishment looks like so they can grow into the healthiest, strongest, and most confident versions of themselves. 💪💜 Every healthy choice we make today helps shape a brighter future for tomorrow. 🫶
