Kyria Goertzen's Professional Bio

What previous specialties or roles have you worked in and felt passionate about?
I began working in critical care right after graduating nursing school, and found it powerful and humbling to be one of the first lines of defense helping patients make it back home. While I felt passionate about the role and enjoyed the critical thinking it required, it was also very challenging in many ways, which led me to begin travel nursing and trying different specialties–something I really enjoyed for that season of my life.

What led you to pursue holistic nursing with The Good Life and IV Therapy?
While I do believe traditional medical settings like hospitals play an important role in treating illness, seeing their model of care exposed me to how many conditions could’ve been prevented altogether by healthy lifestyle choices and alternative therapies. As a result, I’ve been aiming to fully transition outside the hospital with an organization that would embrace treatments and preventative measures. The Good Life and IV Therapy offered a great opportunity to begin that transition alongside a team that shares my passion for holistic health!

What are some of your favorite wellness practices to incorporate into your daily life?
I take vitamins, journal often, and maintain an active lifestyle by walking, working out, and practicing yoga frequently.

Outside nursing, what hobbies or passions bring you joy?
