Hello

Thank you for visiting my site!  I'd like to introduce myself...I am Nicole Bladin and I am the owner and creator of Wave on Wave Health. I am an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP). I started my training in Illinois at Northern Illinois University (NIU). I have many years of experience in nursing from intensive care to primary care, but it wasn't until I was able to practice functional medicine that I really became satisfied in my career.  I was introduced to functional medicine by a colleague and it was a game changer not only for my career and the satisfaction in my career but for my own health and my family's health.

 

Functional medicine is a way of thinking about health. It's more than making a diagnosis and prescribing a pill to make the symptom go away.  Functional medicine aims to identify and heal fundamental dysfunctions in our bodies that actually cause our symptoms or disease.  Instead of managing your symptoms, functional medicine practitioners work to help you recover from disease.  We look at the body as one system working together, not each organ system acting independently, which allows us to handle complex, chronic diseases more effectively.  We take into account genetic, lifestyle, environmental and emotional/spiritual factors in your life and develop a plan that is specific to you.  Sometimes its not what you do, but how you think about what you do. 

​

At Wave on Wave Health our approach is personalized.  You can expect your first appointment to be around 90 minutes as we dive deep into your health history and connect the dots to whatever it is you are dealing with today.  We utilize specialty testing, standard yet comprehensive lab work, holistic healing methods, and health coaching to heal the whole you.   Total wellness, individualized for you.

​

We also offer many procedures that utilize PRP (platelet rich plasma) such as injections for joint pain, tendinopathies, hair loss, and facial rejuvenation.

​

I am an Institute of Functional Medicine Practitioner as well as a Bredeson Practitioner for the prevention and treatment of dementia. I look forward to working with you on your health journey!

​

In health,

​

Nicole
