Annecy S
Registered Nurse
Annecy recently joined the CNM team as another IV Nurse. Although, she has only a few years of nursing experience, most of her time has been working in emergency rooms. Because of this, she has fantastic IV skills. She has also worked as a substitute school nurse, which is probably more stressful some days than working in an emergency room! She is genuinely a kind soul, making everyone around her, especially her patients, feel at ease. She is very knowledgeable and confident in her work, making her yet another amazing part of our growing CNM family.
Annecy's great-grandfather was a homeopath, so connecting to her roots has been very important to her. She is very motivated to be part of a team that allows her to help our patients experience overall wellness. Her primary day at our office will be Tuesdays, but she is already proving to be an excellent team player, picking up other days when needed.
When she is not working, she enjoys spending time playing in the yard with her two dogs, Roman & Zeus, time with her boyfriend, Anthony, and she loves reading and traveling.
Lauren S
Registered Nurse
Lauren has been a nurse since 2018. Lauren previously worked in education, teaching preschool and children with special needs. She started her nursing career in maternal health, where she enjoys empowering and educating families. Lauren has since spent time working as an IVF procedure nurse and most recently here at CT Natural Medicine as an IV nurse.
When she’s not working, she’s spending time with her husband, two girls, and two dogs- an old shepherd mix and a young pittie. She likes to tote her kids to their activities, travel, crochet, garden, and listen to audio books.
Lauren is excited to be a part of naturopathic medicine. She believes there are multiple ways to achieve health and that healthy means something different to everyone. She’s happy to have found another way to help patients feel good.
