The MOMS-I.N.C.
team:
Cherry
Cherry is a registered nurse with
35 years experience. She graduated from Charity
Hospital School of Nursing in New Orleans,
Louisiana in 1972 and earned a BSN from the
University of
Wisconsin Green Bay
in 2002 and a Master of Science in Nursing degree
at the University of Phoenix in Largo, Florida in
2006. Her major areas of practice have been
intensive care nursing, nursing management, home
health care, health care education, and Holistic
Nursing consulting and wellness education. Cherry
is Board Certified as an Advanced Holistic Nurse.
Cherry currently works as a Clinical Supervisor
for the
University of North Carolina Home Health agency and
offers holistic nursing modalities, and wellness
education as a private consultant.
Cherry believes that the mind,
body, and spirit must be in balance to achieve
wellness. Cherry has studied numerous mind, body,
spirit healing modalities, and integrates them
into her Nursing practice whenever possible.
Cherry first became interested in nutrition and
healing while working in the Burn Intensive Care
unit. That interest increased when she worked with
clients experiencing cancer, and she continues to
study nutrition so she can teach others to design
nutritional plans that promote wellness and
healing. Cherry believes “we are what we eat”!
Cherry is married to Jim, also a
registered nurse, and they have two sons, ages 35
and 20, and a granddaughter who is 15. Cherry
taught both boys to eat fresh whole foods as
children and with the exception of a few bad years
in high school, they eat healthy, balanced diets
today. She wishes MOMS-I.N.C. had been available
when she was raising them!
