Some of my clearest childhood memories are of watching my grandmother fight illness. Her doctors tried countless medications, but nothing brought her much comfort. Seeing her struggle lit a spark in me for health care early on, and I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping people improve their quality of life. Years later, I graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion and Wellness. Afterward, I worked as a Health Educator at a local fitness center and taught health, science, and nutrition at a community college. Five years later, I decided to continue my education and earned my Registered Nurse degree from the Presbyterian School of Nursing. Since then, I’ve spent over two decades working as an RN in a wide range of medical and community settings, both locally and nationally, including cancer centers, urgent care, mental health and substance abuse clinics, pain management, diabetes and thyroid clinics, and homeless shelters.

Although I had a fulfilling career, I felt a strong desire to continue my education in preventive health. I earned my ND/NMD (Doctor of Natural Medicine) from the Trinity School of Natural Health. Over the years, I also became certified as a Certified Natural Health Provider and as a Basic Life Support Instructor (CPR and First Aid) through the American Heart Association. Today, I work as both an RN and a NMD health consultant, using my broad education and hands-on experience in health promotion, nursing, and natural medicine to guide clients toward achieving a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

I am happy to say I have lost weight and inches. Working with Dr. K. I had decided that I was no longer letting my weight control me but I was going to control it. She always checked on me and encouraged me which was another very helpful additive. She helped me to get my life back and I am truly happy with myself.

Healthy Journey Wellness and Dr. K. have truly changed my life. I was hesitant, but Dr. K. was knowledgeable and supportive during my cleanse. She regularly called me to ensure that I did not have any questions and made herself available by phone. Her knowledge about nutrition and supplements to enhance your wellness is vast. I have recommended her services to many of my friends. Dr. K. is always expanding her knowledge to assist her patients. Her classes are informative and relevant. I look forward to gaining more
Self-knowledge on how to improve my wellness. I would recommend everyone to complete her prescribe cleanse at least once a year, you won’t regret it!

Shirelle
Being told that I had diabetes, high blood pressure, and sarcoidosis took me by storm. I went from traveling, dancing, eating any and everything I loved, to asking myself, am I going to take control of my life or allow these health abnormalities to take control of me. Well, I chose life and since I’ve been on this journey with Dr. Stinnette by my side, my sarcoidosis and high blood pressure are under control. I am no longer a diabetic. I will admit, when Dr. Stinnette first explained all the foods I had to give up, I thought I was defeated, but actuality, it was not bad at all. She walked me through what foods to change and why they were good for me. She helped me prepare my grocery list and shared ways to prepare healthy meals. My life will never be the same, and I am so appreciative of Healthy Journey Wellness. It was a life changing experience, and today I am still in control.

Nicole
Dr. Stinnette has been very inspirational and helpful to me. I had never been on a cleanser, so a lot of toxins had accumulated in me and causing problems. After I did the 10-day cleanser, I saw a big difference. My hair had started growing back where it had been breaking off, I became more aware of my eating habits and I just felt better. She has helped me in so many ways. Having Dr. Stinnette in my life has and is a blessing.

Yasmin, WP FIT
Dr. K.M. Stinnette advice and guidance caused me to safely get off three high dosage medications. Currently, I am on only one very low dosage and working to get off that one as well.

“I’ve been a client of Healthy Journey Wellness since 2017. Since then, my health has improved dramatically. I feel and look so much better. Most of all, I learned so much about my own health that many traditional doctors just don’t explain to you. For anyone who is serious about their health, I can honestly say you will definitely benefit from this naturopath health service.”

Damon, WP FIT
For years of being overweight (234 lbs), fatigue, dealing with stressful situations, unhealthy food cravings and poor eating habits, weight gain off and on, and developing hypertension, I had a consultation with Dr. Stinnette. She suggested I begin the
21 Day Purification Program in February 2017, at the age of 69. I started with journaling my food intake, learning to read labels on food products, eating rich nutrient foods, exercising and
taking supplement/vitamins according to my needs. I have successfully loss 50 lbs. which was my goal. I have maintained that weight loss. I am feeling good about myself and plan to continue this healthy way of eating and lifestyle.
