About VitalitY!

At Vitality!, we believe in your body's innate ability to heal. We focus on addressing the root cause of  health concerns.  We see you, the whole person, and not just a diagnosis.  

By gathering a detailed history from you, a diet history and labs as needed, we are able to provide you the education and support you need to improve your health.  As a Certified Nurse Midwife/Nurse practitioner, I am able to prescribe medications as needed as well as make dietary and supplement recommendations.  

Charlotte Wllkes, APRN, CNM has been a midwife since 1996 attending births and providing comprehensive women's health care.  As a midwife she has supported women at home and in birth centers as well as hospitals. Over the years one of the most common response she has had to her visits is "you really listened!".  How sad is that?!!!  Everyone should be heard.  Statistically it takes years for women to receive an accurate diagnosis because their symptoms are dismissed. The most frequent assumption is they are depressed and anxious. It's not surprising women are depressed and anxious when they have no one listening to them.

Charlotte is pleased to announce she is currently enrolled in a course given by Aviva Romm, specifically for Women's Health.https://avivaromm.com/courses/fim-pro/Having.  Being able to incorporate this knowledge into her practice is invaluable.  Aviva is a well respected Functional Medicine physician and former midwife who has written several books, has her own podcasts and is frequently a guest speaker at many events and on television shows.

 Having experienced a serious health setback in 2013, she found herself struggling through severe fatigue, joint pain, insomnia, and yes, depression.  Realizing that conventional medicine was not helping, she sought other options.  This is when she discovered Functional Medicine as well as other integrative healthcare options.  She discovered ability of our food to act as medicine.  She also learned the importance of taking care of ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually.  With the support of others, diet change, supplements and other treatments she was able to fully recover.

We take a personalized approach to each individual, taking into account their unique life and medical history, lifestyle, and goals. We believe in open and honest communication and work collaboratively with our patients to develop a care plan that meets their needs.  It is not enough to treat the symptoms.  We work with yout to  find the root cause.   Knowing this helps us understand what you need to be able  work with your body to support the healing journey.

We understand that Integrative Medicine can be expensive and keep this in mind when ordering tests and labs.  In additional, we ethically only order the supplements we believe you need and provide you a link to purchase them at a significant discount.  We believe it is not ethical to profit off of the supplements or labs we order.
