Evelyn works to figure out the root causes of any and all symptoms and strives to help people reduce dependence on prescription medications and surgery. She seeks to empower people of all ages to become experts on preventing disease and promoting vibrant health!

Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, Evelyn worked in the field of psychiatric nursing and became passionate about the connections between physical, mental and spiritual health. She obtained both her BSN and DNP from Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri. She completed her doctoral research project in the field of depression and exercise. Evelyn also holds a BA from Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT where she majored in English and Art History. She was born and raised in southwest Florida, but came to Maine to be a whitewater rafting guide back in 2002, fell in love with her husband and with the state and moved back to Maine in 2018.

Evelyn enjoys spending time on her small farm and in the great Maine outdoors with her husband and kids (and grandson)! She also loves swimming, writing, photography, painting, horses, bunnies, and gardening. She loves to foster the connection between art/creativity and health. You can check out her photography at the Precision Health office in Scarborough, Rooted Cafe in Buxton and at her Springvale office! 

"What conditions do you treat?" 

ANY/ALL health issues. We serve patients of Maine and New Hampshire of all ages in all phases of health and illness.

"How long is the appointment?" 

In order to keep cost as low as possible it is brief call (typically under 20 minutes). We find this format to be helpful in avoiding INFORMATION OVERLOAD! Focusing on one or two recommendations can mean greater heath successes to build upon!

"Do you prescribe prescription medications?"

We can, and rarely, yes, we do. We have a small list of prescriptions that we occasionally do prescribe. But we focus first on natural treatment options before resorting to prescription medications. Typically, there is great improvement (or complete resolution!) of symptoms/health before resorting to Rx meds. There are many websites where you can get prescription meds online (for around the same price as a Sage Well appointment), so if you are scheduling with Sage Well we would prefer you are curious about NATURAL methods as the first course of action; it is our area of expertise and passion!

"Do you only offer telemedicine (telephone appointments)?" 

For the initial appointment (and typically) yes, but you can discuss in-person options (including equine therapy) at subsequent appointments.

"Why get your medical marijuana card, isn't it legal now?"

-Ability to purchase cannabis at more reputable dispensaries who are often deeply personally invested in producing the highest quality plant medicine. 

-Ensure your cannabis is LOCAL! And supporting Mainers and our LOCAL communities. 

-Significant cost savings/lower taxes than purchasing recreational. 

-Often certain medicinal products are not available recreationally. 

-May provide more legal protections (e.g. HIPAA privacy laws).
