About Me

My name is Nicole but most people call me Coco and I am the creator of Practical Mama Wellness. I created this company with the hopes of bringing functional medicine, sustainability, nutrition, and practicality into the home of every woman.

Personally, I am a wife and mom. I am passionate about my faith and iced coffee. I also consider myself to be a glitter enthusiast (and sometimes a comedian). 

Professionally, I am a registered nurse with my BSN degree from Franciscan University and my MScN degree from the National University of Natural Medicine. I chose the route of functional nutritionist instead of a dietician route, due to the flexibility to practice in a more holistic & functional medicine manner. I am also a member of the American Nutrition Association, Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine, and North American Lourdes Volunteers.

I have seen the ins and outs of the traditional healthcare system as a nurse. Traditional nursing no longer paralleled with my original desire to be a nurse. I never desired to be a pill-pusher, a money-maker for the hospital’s CEO, or overworked to the point of crumbling. In 2021, started my studies at the National University of Natural Medicine and I never once regretted leaving traditional medicine.

Never forget that you are valuable, you are loved, and you are enough.

In Him, 
Coco
