Krista Thompson’s Bio: Trauma happens to all of us at some point in our lives. It’s happened to me and just about everyone I know. Through years of traditional and natural practices, my passion for getting people back to a state of good mental health has grown into the Full Circle Practice I operate today. I have realized there is no point in calming the storm. Calm yourself. The storm will pass. My Credentials: MSN, PMHNP-BC Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with training and experience treating patients with psychiatric disorders across the life span. Masters Degree in Adult Health with an emphasis on integrated and holistic care. One of the first nurses to become nationally certified as a “Holistic Nurse” back in 1996. My education and experience is in using meditation, nutrition, yoga, acupuncture, imagery, visualization and music in helping the body to become whole. I believe our brain health is just as important as our physical health. I have also been in Clinical Pastoral Education and led a very successful faith-based program for over four years in Venice, Florida. One of my highlights in achievement while there was being recognized as a Woman of Distinction of Sarasota County for demonstrating leadership in Comprehensive Approach to Health Care. I conduct psychiatric evaluations, medication management, as well as therapy. “There is a growing body of research that has indicated that it often matters to the physical course of disease what is happening in the emotion and mind process of the patient. It’s called Psycho-neuro-immunology.” In other words: Your thoughts, feelings, and emotions effect your health.
