Debra Dixon Glusker

My professional healing journey began when I graduated from nursing school and began a long career working in intensive care. Initially I worked in a Cardiac Surgical Unit. Within 5 years I transitioned to working exclusively with babies in Neonatal Intensive Care. I loved caring for this patient population, with the tiniest ones being my favorites. I feel my nursing skills and compassionate care were a perfect combination when caring for these most fragile of patients and their families. After 34 years in NICU, I retired from hospital nursing. I soon discovered that I had a deep yearning to continue helping people heal, though doing so in a holistic way. I began to take seminars and learn about healing with nutrition and supplements. I earned my Applied Clinical Nutrition certification. Not satisfied with only understanding nutrition through the use of supplements, and wanting to use food as my first line of approach to wellness, I enrolled at Bauman College in Berkeley, CA and earned my certification in Holistic Nutrition Consulting. I passed the boards for Holistic Nutrition Consulting.
