    DipACLM, CNN, APHN-BC,

    Maureen is a Clinical Nurse Specialist and Mindfulness and Yoga Teacher at UC Davis Health and Del Norte Swim Club in Sacramento, California. Her path has evolved from trying to be a perfect human to being perfectly human.

    Maureen authored and/or edited many chapters in the Core Curriculum for Nephrology Nursing and has completed 7 years as a volunteer for the Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission, serving in several roles including President, leading the effort to establish credentialing mechanisms to promote patient safety and to improve the quality of care provided to nephrology patients.

    She works full time as a Clinical Nurse Specialist at UC Davis Health in Sacramento, California, where she teams with patients and families facing Kidney Failure to plan health care and build self-care.

    Maureen discovered Yoga and Mindfulness in 2009, and later completed her yoga teacher training at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara and Mindful Self Compassion teacher training with UC San Diego. Most recently, Maureen completed her Doctorate in Nursing Practice, with her phenomena of interest being healthcare provider wellbeing and burnout. She followed with board certification with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

    Maureen's deep appreciation for the transformative power of lifestyle medicine is a driving force in her life. She eagerly shares her knowledge and experiences with her patients and health professional colleagues, reminding them that they, too, are patients on a different day. Her passion for promoting well-being and self-care is truly inspiring.

    These days, you can also find Maureen teaching yoga at her local gym or online for UC Davis Integrative Medicine, preparing Whole Food Plant Based meals, and inviting friends and family over to test her newest recipe.
