Dr. Johanna Gaskins DNP, APRN, AGNP-C

Seek Wellbeing® Wellness was established in 2017 to provide an integrative and functional approach to a myriad of discomforts and
dis-eases causing fear and anxiety. In this setting methods like improving gut health, understanding DNA status, detoxing and strategizing to create a personalized plan to optimize nutrition and improve physical/functional/cognitive performance.

Medical housecalls was established in 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal in this setting was/is to infuse well-being and human flourishing into traditional medicine practice through preventive, primary and chronic health care delivery.

Now that American society is having a serious discussion about chronic disease, the limitations and expense of pharmaceutical drugs to resolve chronic illnesses; such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, dementia, arthritis to name a few, and the expense of multiple hospitalizations associated, my team and I have been preparing for the opportunity to respond to the call. I believe it is time to re-introduce the role of the nurse and nurse practitioner into the very important discussion about our goals for our beloved fellow Americans across their lifespan. After all, can we truly thrive as a society if everyone in our communities are sick? Can we truly experience the “pursuit of happiness“ when we have spent all of our time and resources on being sick?

The answer is no.

At Seek Wellbeing®, we provide a comprehensive, personalized approach to meeting your needs while you remain in your home. This allows you to feel in control of your health situation. When you receive a visit from an integrative nurse or nurse practitioner, the experience is very different by design. Yes, this is your opportunity to share health concerns but also your goals for better health.

I have been practicing and training many aspects of treating and healing over the past 30 years and feel all that I have learned has created a multi modal approach to helping patients feel better.

My team and I look forward to caring for you or your family member real soon!

Benefits of having an Integrative Nurse Practitioner on the Team

During these challenging times, providing high quality, cost effective care is paramount.  Protecting patients and supporting care that allows patient’s to remain in their home is paramount.

Providing comprehensive, personalized care in the home allows the patient to feel empowered in their own environment.  Home visits by a nurse practitioner offers opportunities for patients to share all the reasons they feel pain, anxious, insomnia, fatigue or depression; if they are disengaged with life and their healing process, if they have stomach upset or feel lonely.  Many reasons for symptoms are simply about feeling that no one has time to listen to their needs like in traditional office based settings.
