About Natural Health NP, LLC

The Natural Health NP, LLC has been a work in progess and a heartfelt project of me: Miriam Hughes, MSN, WHNP-BC, CNM for the last 5 years - now come to life!

I have been helping women heal for over 25 years. My early experience was guiding women through nutrition, fitness, and exercise as a group fitness instructor when I was a young mother of 3. I desired to move into the medical world to understand health and medical conditions at a deeper level. So I moved from fitness to becoming an EMT, working in a busy emergency room. While there I realized I wanted to know even more! So I enrolled in Nursing school and became a LPN and then a RN. I always maintained by desire and love for empowering women through knowledge and support.

In order to truly help women, I needed to become a provider. I graduated from Georgetown University in 2014 with a Masters of Science in Nursing, with a focus as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife. I thought I was complete. Unfortunately I realized I wasn't truly helping women fully heal; even with my current knowledge of diet, fitness, and medicine. When I started having some health deterioration of my own I knew, again, I had to learn more!

I enrolled in my first Integrative and Functional Medicine program in 2019 with Dr. Aviva Romm. By the time I was done with that program I had resolved my health issues and had truly found my passion to help women understand they are not broken! I continue to learn and grown and train and research how to best help women heal through various trainings and programs.

As a busy practitioner, mother, grandmother, and wife I understand the challenges that come with the role of woman.
