More About Leah Hughes

Hi there, I’m Leah, a board-certified acute care nurse practitioner with over two decades of experience in healthcare. I have a master’s degree in nursing from the University of Kentucky and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Purdue University. My passion lies in functional/integrative medicine, which involves treating the root cause of symptoms, rather than just addressing the symptoms themselves.

Having worked with the chronically mentally ill as a case manager early in my career, I understand the complexities of managing everyday life while dealing with medical issues. As a nurse practitioner, I strive to support not only my patients but also their loved ones in their care. I find nothing more rewarding than helping clients find effective ways to reduce their pain and start to feel human again.
