S1E15: How One Nurse With A Passion For The Whole Person Lead To A Career In Integrative Medicine w/Peggy Gleason

We interview nurses who are business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders. We want to hear inspiring stories from the nurse next door who is making a difference in the entrepreneurial and business space. Welcome to our guest today, Dr. Peggy Gleason, RN, NHD,  the owner and founder of Professional Women’s Wellness in Raleigh, North Carolina. Today’s episode, How One Nurse With A Passion For The Whole Person Lead To A Career In Integrative Medicine.

Dr. Peggy Gleason has been a Registered Nurse for over 40 years. Born in the suburbs of New York City in the small town of Nyack. Her family was large with several relatives with serious illnesses. It seemed to be the norm for her parents to spend any extra time caring for them.

It seemed organic that she was drawn to become a nurse. Her nursing career was focused on critical care nursing in Cardio Thoracic ICU and Neonatal ICU where she managed Neonatal ICU in a major medical center in NY.

She was always curious about other methods of healing encompassing all dimensions of wellbeing.

While raising her 3 wonderful children, she continued school to learn about alternative and complimentary modalities in health care. She earned her Masters and Doctoral degrees in Natural Health in 1996 when she founded Nature One health Organization.  

Peggy also trained at Duke Integrative Medicine where she earned her certification as a Professional Integrative Health Coach as well as a certification, She also is certified Nutrition Coach and certified Facilitator of the Wellness Inventory.

The passion to work with the “whole person” along with her clinical experience helped her empower her clients to move forward in their commitment to lifestyle changes - physically, mentally and spiritually, bringing them together in balance for total health.

With her understanding of all the dimensions of health, life and wellbeing, she realized the need for those that struggle with the damaging health effects of obesity physically and mentally. She is dedicated to help those who struggle to master their mindset so that they can make healthy choices and feel good about themselves.

With her grown children, grandchildren and loving husband Ed, Peggy couldn’t ask for more. She is living her vision of making a difference in the health of others.
