Mrs. Candice Robertson knew she wanted to help others heal and initially studied and graduated with a BA in Psychology from West Virginia University in 1998. Growing up she watched her grandmother and mother juice, cook with raw herbs from the garden, and use teas for healing illnesses in the body. Candice bought into westernized medicine thinking “there is a pill for that,” while still participating reluctantly in the homeopathic methods of her family.
Following in her mother’s footsteps she went back to school to become a nurse graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2002 with honors. Fully indoctrinated in conventional medicine, worked as an RN on a Med-Surg./ Dialysis Unit, in the Cardiac Cath and Electrophysiology Lab, and then several Operating Rooms and Post Anesthesia Care Units (in-Hospital and Ambulatory) where she realized people wanted more and asked for more. In 2008, Candice launched, Pure Mahada, a natural skin care line for eczema and dry skin to help her eldest son and soon others, but that was still “downstream treatment.” Working on the surface was not enough. She asked herself, how could she help from the inside out, not just skin deep and not just following orders.
Candice went back to school and realized while in graduate school the focus was not placed heavily on nutrition and lifestyle change, but rather treating one problem/ disease at a time. This method caused other problems. Exploring homeopathic medicine and later Functional Medicine brought her family’s practices full circle. Closer to Nature is better. It all started to come together. Candice realized that she needed both conventional medicine and functional medicine to really make a difference in patient outcomes. After graduating with honors from Simmons College (now Simmons University) in 2016 with a Master’s in Nursing she started incorporating Functional Medicine and the “root cause” of illnesses in her treatment of patients. Candice has over 20 years of nursing experience. She is Board Certified by AANP, DOT Certified in NJ , continues to educate herself in Functional Medicine at IFM, and believes starting a healthy lifestyle young is important. She will continue to make home-made skin care products for her family and clientele and will make it available in the office.
She believes that in order for primary care providers to meet the needs of the community they serve, adaptability is key, prevention is a necessity, and compassion is needed for the body to heal. Her vision of how patients should be treated can now be a reality under one roof.
Candice’s Achilles heel is sweets. “I have to have it”, but “I have learned to stop the yearly weight increase with intermittent fasting, portion control, healthier eating, and listening to my body.”
Candice is happily married to her husband/ co-owner of The NP Xperience, Sean Robertson, has 2 handsome sons, and her wonderful mother helping to keep her work-life balanced. She loves DIY projects, home décor, gardening, drawing, playing handball/racquetball, and walking her dog.
