Originally from Boulder, Colorado, Nanci grew up in a family where holistic medicine and staying healthy was the norm, not the alternative.  Because of the impact holistic practitioners made on her in her early years, it was only natural that she became a practitioner herself.  She has multiple certifications in various healing modalities, obtaining her Associates of Occupational Studies in Therapeutic Massage from Heritage College, Denver Colorado in 2011.  Following graduation, she had a successful massage therapy practice in Boulder, Colorado which she eventually sold to move to Los Lunas, New Mexico in 2016.

Nanci has over 5 years successfully managing medical offices as well as over 20 years managing her own practices.  After moving to Safford Arizona in 2020, Nanci joined Rose Hill Wellness as the Insurance Manager where she revised medical records procedures from paper to electronic format, automated patient scheduling and check in/check out logistics, and instituted HIPAA policies and compliances.  Additionally, Nanci established medical billing strategies and handles all medical billing for the practice.  She is well versed in current health insurance practices and brings with her a deep passion for helping people become the best version of themselves.  Additionally, she doubles as our webmaster and co-manages with Marissa our social media campaigns and advertising.  It is her belief that that mind, body, and spirit work together, and, if necessary with the assistance of integrative science based therapies and consistent cohesive treatments, to achieve homeostasis.
