Help Nurse Practitioners thrive in Functional Medicine
I’m Anna Rider, BScN, NP-PHC, Integrative Health Nurse Practitioner, and Founder of Flourish Mentoring.
My career and personal journey has led me from traditional medicine to Integrative / Functional Medicine since I became a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner in 1999.
I’ve practiced in a wide variety of settings in Toronto and in Kingston, Ontario including:
The Hospital for Sick Children
Community Health Centres
Rural family practice & private MD practice
Consulting for MOHLTC in Interdisciplinary Health Program
Providing instruction at Queen’s University in the NP program (AHAD), and
Establishing Flourish Healthcare, Functional Medical Clinic, in 2019
I established Flourish Mentoring to provide the support, encouragement, and community that I wish I had when I started out in Functional Medicine.
Delivered virtually, our programs are designed to Support Nurse Practitioners at every stage of their journey.
