Nikki
Patient Care Coordinator, Therapy Assistant
"As a cancer survivor, integrative medicine has always piqued my curiosity. I'm eager to explore the alternative therapies we offer to patients undergoing or awaiting treatment—options I wish I had known about during my own journey. I'm particularly excited to delve deeper into sound therapy and reiki, which I've found effective for anxiety relief. This opportunity to learn and grow while helping others is truly inspiring."
