Having an serious mental illness can make it a struggle to work, keep up with school, stick to a regular schedule, have healthy relationships, socialize, maintain hygiene, and more. However, with early and consistent treatment—often a combination of medication and psychotherapy—it is possible to manage these conditions, overcome challenges, and lead a meaningful, productive life.

      Overview
      Rev., Nurse, Life Coach

      Hello, my name is Kim Carter.  I attended nursing school in Hillsboro, Oh at Southern State Community College where I received my associate degree in nursing sciences. After my first year of nursing school, I attended Everglades University where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Alternative Medicine. I  spent 10 years working as a Licensed Registered Nurse while also implementing some Alternative modalities into my nursing care to provide my patients with the most holistic care I could provide.

      My love of Alternative Medicine and the deeper understanding of how those modalities work on the physical body led me into my Masters’ program of Metaphysical Sciences where I became an Ordained Metaphysical Minister, Metaphyscian/Metaphysical Practitioner, and Holistic Life Coach.  It was through this training I became aware of the full connection between mind, body and spirit, which gives me a full complete view of a patient’s state of health and well-being.
