Roots of Embodied Resilience

Dr. Christine Patterson

Christine is a Nurse Practitioner who founded her virtual practice, Vital Journey Wellness to empower stressed out and traumatized women to find resilience. Her virtual coaching and consulting practice was borne out of her own experiences with trauma related health issues. Using integrative and functional medicine approaches, she coaches clients to support their body's natural healing properties using a variety of techniques. She believes in the innate wisdom of the body and her clients, collaborating to find ways to restore health by tapping into each person's strengths. She's passionate about using high level, one-on-one service to help women truly transform. She earned her Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In her free time, you can find her on a hike, in the garden, or in the kitchen cooking up something delicious (and nutritious). Find her on social media @christinepattersondnp on Instagram and TikTok.
