About Debra
My Personal Story
For much of my career as a registered nurse, I had the privilege of caring for others through some difficult moments in their lives. I understood illness from a clinical perspective, but it wasn't until my own health began to unravel that I truly understood what patients experience every day.
My journey to founding Divine Design Health began through my own struggles with trauma and chronic illness. Over the course of several years, I survived multiple serious car accidents as well as suffering from autoimmune issues and a spinal fracture resulting from osteoporosis. Navigating the conventional healthcare system left me feeling unseen and unheard during my most vulnerable moments. I created Divine Design Health out of those very gaps in care, turning my personal health challenges into a dedicated mission to provide holistic, collaborative health solutions.
I believe people deserve a healthcare approach that uncovers the root causes of illness rather than simply masking symptoms. They deserve to be heard, to have their concerns taken seriously, and to receive answers, education, and compassionate support. My mission is to walk alongside individuals as they reclaim their health, restore their hope, and actively participate in their own healing.
My Professional Background
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Ohio University and have worked as an acute care nurse, as well teaching nursing for several decades. I am a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP) and recently completed my certification as an Integrative Bone Health Practitioner (CIBHP), which emphasizes bone health, skeletal strength, and fracture prevention through a holistic lens.
Over the years, I’ve developed a true passion for getting to the “root cause” of health issues rather than just managing symptoms. My focus is on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of chronic disease, inflammation, and metabolic imbalances.
I love blending my clinical experience with a more natural, holistic approach to help others feel their best from the inside out. By combining evidence-based functional medicine principles with faith-centered values, I help clients achieve greater wellness and live in alignment with the unique design God created for them.
Blessings & Health!

What I do in the meantime...
When I'm not working I love spending time with my family and friends. I'm a passionate traveler and have visited more than 30 countries - my most recent excursion was mission trip to Kenya. I enjoy the beach, hiking, swimming and collecting/wearing vintage fashion. I'm a photographer, videographer, music-lover (all genres), a classic movie fan, and Jeopardy enthusiast. I'm involved with various church ministries: an international Lifegroup, Multi-Ethnic Learning Community, Women's Ministry and Choir.
“ ...I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
