Lanie Willis headshot

Lanie Willis, FNP, NP, MSN, RN

Hello all! My name is Lanie Willis, and I am a tenured Family and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner of 22 years. My passion lies in educating both parents and children about the vital significance of prevention and striving for a healthy lifestyle. I am eager to contribute to your personal healing journey by utilizing homeopathic methods that can complement and enhance the limitations of western medicine. Throughout my childhood, I grappled with persistent illnesses; as a mother, I witnessed my children and grandchildren face their own health challenges. Like many of you, we found that modern medicine provided only temporary relief for our suffering. Years of feeling powerless and a brief stint working within the confines of the traditional western model led me to question the status quo. I began challenging the lack of emphasis on preventive measures, the side effects that accompanied every cure, and the recurring failures within our healthcare system. This realization has brought me to where I am today – on a journey toward natural wellness and a fervent advocacy for comprehensive healthcare. I am grateful for the opportunity to support you and your family in your pursuit of holistic well-being. Thank you for entrusting me with your care.

Janelle-Hart-headshot-solid-BG-500x500.jpg

Janelle Hart, LPN, BC-FMNS

My name is Janelle Hart. Since the time I was in middle school I knew I wanted to be a nurse. I became a CNA prior to my high school graduation in 2005 after taking Allied Health for 4 years. As a CNA I worked in long term care as well as acute care at Shands UF Health located in Gainesville, FL. It was at Shands UF that I floated to nearly all areas in the hospital including ICU, Peds, ER, Cardiac, Med Surg and the Ortho units. After working as a CNA/PCA 6 years, I then went on to attend Florida Gateway College to become an LPN. As an LPN I worked both in long term care and family medicine for 4 years. After having our second child and administering several rounds of vaccines within her first year of life, our baby girl became vaccine injured. This led to my research that uncovered an immense amount of eye-opening information. So much of what we had been taught was a complete fallacy. Between her vaccine injury, the research that followed and many years in healthcare, I began seeing how broken and mislead our conventional medicine model was. We were trained to do no harm and yet I was seeing all too often where harm was being carried out on a regular basis. Truth was being silenced. When I brought the information to other fellow co-workers, most were turning a blind eye. What this meant was that I was still going to be required to give the care that was potentially going to cause harm to my patients. It was at this time in 2015 that I walked away from what I dearly loved. At this point I asked myself the question, "Why would God lead me to nursing, only to have me walk away from it?" However, I trusted Him and knew His ways were higher than mine. Not long after I became ill myself and sought out the only care I was aware of, conventional medicine. After several years of no answers, thousands of dollars spent, a multitude of testing and yet still only minimally functioning due my health issues, the Lord placed a Naturopath and a Functional Medicine Practitioner directly in front of me. They knew EXACTLY what was going on in my body! I am now functioning and caring for my family again. At this point I dove right in to becoming Board Certified in Functional Medicine. Hungry to educate and care for others through the very same model that has not only changed my life but my husband and children's as well. This was it! This was why the Lord brought me to Nursing to begin with and had me step back for a time. For a time such as this! I am delighted to be caring for others again, but this time, with the complete freedom to provide true holistic care! How precious it is to be a part of a team that is truly standing in the gap for so many. My prayer is that a small spark will ignite into a fire that spreads worldwide for true holistic healthcare to become the new normal. I would be honored to apply my education and compassion to working alongside you in restoring you and your family's health to not just "normal" but optimal.

Kelly-Bristol-headshot-solid-BG-500x500.jpg

Kelly Bristol, BSN, RN

Kelly Bristol is a Registered Nurse living in Portland, Oregon. She has a background in Labor and Delivery/ Postpartum and Psychiatric nursing, as well as roles in Case Management for Psychiatric Rehabilitation agencies in the community. She received her Bachelor of Science from Rush University Medical Center in 1997. She spent her early years on a small family farm in rural Oregon, and later studying and working as a nurse in Chicago. This country mouse, city mouse experience, as well as studying abroad in England, fostered a well- rounded view of life, and what people of differing walks of life have in common. Studying and working as a nurse at Rush University Chicago; she learned the galaxy of complexities of the human body, as well as the body’s simplistic, innate ability to heal itself and return to balance. Early on in her career, she witnessed the overmedicalization of the act of giving birth, and patients discouraged from trusting their own bodies. Struggling with the disregard for patient’s autonomy, she transitioned from hospital nursing to nursing/ Case management for a Psychiatric Rehabilitation agency; working with people living with mental health and substance use disorders in the community, where she found education and advocacy for patients was encouraged. After having her two children, she has returned to living among the magnificent trees of the Pacific NorthWest. Kelly holds a strong belief that the wisdom of nature is sacred, and that our bodies are a part of that sacred wisdom. Pharmaceutical therapies are an attempt to replicate the wisdom of nature. They often provide symptom relief, however, they do not address the root cause of the symptom. Frequently people wind up playing whack-a-mole with symptoms, rather than addressing the root cause. Many times these interventions are too much information for our bodies to process. Using the source (supplements, minerals, nutritional therapies) rather than a synthetic copy; Kelly has seen how effective these therapies can be, and how patients can avoid the many side effects that the pharmaceutical interventions produce. Kelly has had her own experience in healing through nutrition. Kelly’s goal is not to replace pharmaceuticals with numerous long term supplements; but to ultimately return the body to balance. Kelly’s conviction is to empower people with the knowledge to become the CEO of their own health! In Functional medicine, Kelly has found what she had been looking for; the foundation with which to treat people holistically, and to treat the root of the disease rather than the symptoms that arise from it. As a Functional Medicine practitioner, Kelly can guide you in healing your body from the inside out, rather from the outside in. An individualized treatment plan is key. There are numerous paths to healing, Kelly aims to find which one will work best for you. Using complementary therapies to support pharmaceutical therapies may be best initially. Kelly’s approach as a healthcare provider is to be a guide in helping you in healing yourself. Kelly is grateful to be working with Remnant Healthcare, where there is a focus on returning to health rather than disease management; collaborating with practitioners where this is a common goal. Kelly believes in our body’s innate ability to heal, connecting the dots in a holistic approach, and providing spiritual and emotional support to her patients. She is dedicated to providing the best healthcare experience possible. Kelly believes no one knows your body better than you do. Her goal is to guide you in self awareness and to empower you with the knowledge required to live a healthier and happier life.

Beverly-Bueno-headshot-solid-BG-500x500.jpg

Beverly Bueno, RN

Hi, my name is Beverly Bueno. With over 15 years of experience as a registered nurse, I am driven by a deep commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others. My journey into nursing began in 2007, following a life-changing liver transplant in 2005 that sparked a newfound determination to contribute to the field of healthcare. Throughout my transplant waiting period and subsequent recovery, I experienced many health challenges. In my 5-year waiting period, for a donor organ, I started swimming with USA Masters Swim Team, whom I believe, were my support group. I was never a competitive swimmer in my life. Nothing like literally jumping in the deep end, but it kept me alive. This is where I learned many things about myself and what my mind and body could achieve. This personal journey not only taught me resilience but also instilled in me a passion for advocating comprehensive, patient-centered care. I discovered the power of holistic approaches to wellness, embracing practices such as exercise, holistic nutrition, and alternative therapies. What was interesting to me was that preventive measures were never addressed in any of my medical allopathic care. These days I continue to learn about how food, environmental toxins, stress, and lifestyle choices affect homeostasis (balance)of the body and mind. I learned that I needed to advocate for myself to overcome several challenges. This was the beginning of my search for “wellness”. Prior to my nursing career, I spent over two decades in various healthcare roles, including medical bill auditing, Patient Accounts billing, supporting medical staff committees and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for FDA approval of new drug studies in my regional area. My transition into nursing encompassed diverse roles spanning long-term care, home health, hospice nursing, case management, and telephonic nursing for insurance companies where I honed my skills in patient advocacy and holistic care. These days I teach swimming and enjoy being a nurse part time. In addition to my nursing qualifications, I hold certifications in holistic nutrition and essential oils, reflecting my commitment to integrative healthcare practices. As a certified lifeguard and swim instructor, I also find joy in teaching others and promoting physical wellness. Over the years, I have become increasingly involved in patient advocacy, particularly in challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of my experience with the IRB for legal informed consent, this led me into the fight for freedom of individual autonomy and patient advocacy. I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their health and help to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. My goal is to foster a collaborative approach to healthcare that prioritizes wellness and patient empowerment over the metrics-driven models in our conventional healthcare system. These days this is difficult for me to accept these metrics-driven models when my reason to become a nurse was “to make a difference. Corporate Mission statements do not match this metrics emphasis. It pushes a “sick care” model. I welcome any opportunity to support others on their journey to wellness and am dedicated to advocating for a healthcare system that embraces all models of care with a focus on holistic well-being. Together, let us work towards a future where healthcare is truly patient-centered and focused on finding solutions that promote lasting health and healing.

Leslee Frederickson-headshot-solid-BG-500x500.png

Leslee Frederickson, RN, BCPA

With over 15-years of experience as a Home Care and Hospice Nurse, Leslee has become a staunch patient advocate as she effectively assists patients and their families to navigate through the overwhelming maze called the ‘healthcare system’. In the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Leslee was a Hospice Case Manager and saw that patients were being separated from their families and loved ones. Simultaneously, they were losing their biggest healthcare advocates, their autonomy, and their ability to make informed consent decisions.​ Leslee also observed patients lose their human connection with the people they loved the most; and their overall psychosocial decline was dramatic. This was extremely difficult to witness and as a nurse, it changed Leslee to her core and caused her to pivot professionally. While pressing into her faith, she became a Board Certified Patient Advocate (BCPA) and launched Hospice & Homecare Advocacy (a division of RN Patient Advocate Services, LLC (RNPAS)). Leslee believes that informed consent is the only consent and she strives to empower every client/family with the education, knowledge, guidance, and support, to make the best informed consent decisions for themselves. Leslee is a natural helper to her core and she listened to her gut, partnered with the Holy Spirit, and built her advocacy business on the rock of God and Jesus. "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." Matthew 7:24 (NIV)

Hi my name is Grace DeFee and I have been a nurse for over 35 years. I have also been married for 35 years now to a military veteran who served 38 years for our great country! We have 3 amazing adult children (our oldest son also serves in the USAF) and have been blessed with 2 wonderful grandchildren. I too am a veteran of the United States Army, where I initially trained as an Operating Room technician at Ft. Rucker, Alabama, and graduated from the Academy of Health Sciences at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas. I went on to train as a Practical nurse, and later quickly completed Registed Nursing school in 1990. Years later I graduated from Jacksonville University in Florida with my BSN. Besides my work in the operating room, I enjoyed working in hemodialysis with clients suffering from kidney failure and have also worked in traditional bedside nursing. I spent several decades working in home care and Hospice, which is my true calling and passion. Giving one-on-one, compassionate nursing care to those in need in the respectful manner they deserve has been the absolute pleasure of a lifetime. I currently also teach Polestar Pilates, a rehabilitation based approach. In addition to working in functional medicine nursing, teaching and promoting health and wellness while exploring all available alternative health modalities whenever possible is extremely important to me. It is my sincere hope that the people I interact with professionally will benefit from my training and life experience. I truly believe we are put here together in life to help make each other's journey easier and the lives of others better every chance we get!

Stephanie-Smith-headshot-solid-BG-500x500.jpg

Stephanie Smith, MS, BSN, RN, CPN, BC-FMNS, BC-FNHC

Hello! I have been a nurse since 1996 but before that I was a patient. Surviving childhood cancer at the age of 2, I developed an early understanding of how limited our time is and what truly matters in life- God, family, love, and health. I come from a family of nurses, but gained knowledge, care, and compassion most from my mother who retired from nursing practice in recent years at the impressive age of 80. Raised in upstate New York, I earned my Licensed Practical Nurse upon high school graduation. I immediately went to work on the pediatric hematology/oncology unit at the Children’s Hospital of Buffalo alongside some of the nurses who had cared for me as a child. A few years later I moved to Raleigh, NC and completed my Master of Science in Nursing while working full-time for 15 years on a very busy acute and stepdown pediatric unit, mainly as charge nurse. I next decided to take on the role of Nurse Clinician for the Pediatric Complex Care Service at Duke Children’s Hospital coordinating care for some of the most medically complex children. I currently serve as a pediatric subject matter expert writer for continuing education for healthcare professionals. I have been on every side of illness- including as a patient, nurse, and family member. At times I’ve faced the lonely desperation of having my health concerns ignored and despite all my knowledge and credentials finding it near impossible to advocate for myself. All of my experiences so far have led me to Remnant Nursing. My desire is to help educate and empower each person to their fullest health, and by extension life, potential because good health is true freedom.

Deidre-Bentley-headshot-solid-BG-500x500.png

Deidre Bentley, MSN, RN

Deidre Bentley is a registered nurse with extensive experience in acute care, hospice, and nursing management. Since beginning her nursing career in 2018, she has cultivated a reputation for compassionate care, strong clinical judgment, and a deep commitment to patient advocacy across diverse healthcare settings. Deidre’s passion for metabolic health began in 2022 when her husband was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Witnessing his remarkable improvement—and complete discontinuation of oral hypoglycemic medication within just six days of a diet change—profoundly reshaped her understanding of chronic disease management. Seeing firsthand that a condition long considered progressive could be brought into a state of normalcy through nutrition alone sparked her dedication to learning more and she then dove into the research. Driven by this transformative experience, Deidre earned her certification in ketogenic nutrition in 2024. Since then, she has become a strong advocate for empowering individuals with education about metabolic health, nutritional interventions, and sustainable lifestyle change. Although she values the skills and experiences she has gained in the hospital setting, Deidre also recognized the moral injury that can arise within traditional healthcare systems—especially when treatments may not align with the most current research on diet, medications, or interventions for healing. In 2025, Deidre completed her Master of Science in Nursing. After which, she made the intentional decision to not pursue her original goal of Family Nurse Practitioner and instead followed a path more aligned with her growing passion: functional medicine. She is now committed to practicing in a way that addresses whole-person wellness and focuses on uncovering the underlying drivers of chronic illness ultimately helping people heal. Today, Deidre brings together her clinical experience, her advanced education, and her certification in ketogenic nutrition to support individuals seeking lasting, holistic health transformations. She is deeply passionate about helping people reclaim their wellbeing and is excited to continue expanding her impact as a functional medicine practitioner.
