My Journey
I’m Deb Reid, a neurodivergent Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Reiki Master with over two decades of experience in both science-based medicine and intuitive healing. My background spans biochemistry, hospice, family practice, emergency medicine, and advanced functional medicine—always grounded in rigorous diagnostics, compassionate intuition, and deep listening.
My fight to receive the care my body truly needed began when I was just five years old—hypersensitive, prone to frequent infections, and often misunderstood. By 32, I was on numerous daily medications, facing early-onset chronic conditions that ran in my family. Through functional medicine, I transformed my diet, lifestyle, and health—eventually reducing most medications and reclaiming a vibrant, pain-free life.

As someone living with multiple chronic and complex conditions—including mast cell activation syndrome, autoimmune thyroid disease, celiac which caused secondary pancreatitis and type 3c diabetes, migraines, asthma, mold illness, cPTSD and long COVID—I understand what it’s like to be dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told “it’s all in your head.” I bring the lived insight of a patient and the clinical expertise of a practitioner to help you uncover what’s really going on and map a path forward.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me in Maryland with my canine companion Clementine. I recharge by camping, hiking, canoeing, dancing, quilting, and photographing the beauty of the outdoors.
