Elizabeth Mitchell, FNP-BC, IFMCP

As your provider, what’s important to me is that I find a balanced approach to your overall health. While traditional medicine focuses on finding a cure, I prefer to focus on helping you reach your wellness goals. I aim to support your well-being, as I believe health is an ongoing and lifelong journey. 

 

Thirteen years ago, my healthcare career changed when I was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition. After my diagnosis, I understood the challenges my patients faced in a new light. I was then able to develop a deeper level of empathy and compassion, which has made me a better provider.

 

I am grateful for so many things in life, such as my family and friends, and the fact that my career has led me to Five Journeys. I am inspired by the Five Journeys team and the accomplishments that patients have achieved. When I’m not at Five Journeys, you can find me training for my next triathlon, meditating, seeing friends and family, or taking care of my bees.

Degrees & Certifications: MS (Master of Science), CNP (Massachusetts-certified Nurse Practitioner) FNP-BC (ANCC board certification, family nurse practitioner), IFMCP (Functional medicine certified).

Fun Facts

If you were not a nurse practitioner, what would you do?

If I wasn't a nurse practitioner I would have a large bee farm which would help sustain my organic orchard.

What was the craziest thing you did in college?

The craziest thing I've ever done was get lost in the jungles of Colombia!
