Integrative Family Medicine of Iowa

08/03/2025

Being an integrative nurse practitioner is deeply fulfilling but it’s not always easy. The days are full, the pace is fast 🩺, and the emotional investment is real 💛.

Kara and Emma are usually busy in their own offices, helping patients all day long. So when their paths align and they get to pause, connect, laugh, and learn from one another—it’s something they truly cherish ✨

This is the heart of our clinic 💚 Real connection. Real care. And a team that shows up for their patients—and for each other 🤝

✨ The kind words we receive from patients keep our fire lit 🔥—reminding us why we show up every day to build something that looks different but works better. Your stories fuel this mission. 💛

💬 “I can’t say enough great things about this clinic. Every time I walk in, I feel truly heard and supported... It’s so refreshing to feel like a partner in my healthcare, not just a patient.”

Huge shoutout to Nurse Alyssa for her compassionate care 💕 and to Spencer at the front desk for making every visit feel like home 🙌. This is what healthcare should feel like.

✨ “I was drawn to integrative medicine because—simply put—it makes sense.” — Emma Ross, ARNP 🌿

Emma blends the best of both worlds: traditional + holistic care that sees you as a whole person—not just a list of symptoms.

She takes the time to listen, dig deeper, and get to the why behind what’s going on. This is care that actually feels like care.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for a change—Emma might be your sweet spot. 💫

Emma looks forward to welcoming patients looking to:
- Establish care with a primary care provider

- Schedule wellness or preventive visits

- Address chronic concerns like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or high blood pressure

-Get support for weight management and metabolic health

-Discuss fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, or hormonal imbalances
