Jinny Schmidt

Hello! I'm a seasoned RN and a fervent advocate for holistic wellness, where the synergy between physical health and mental resilience forms the cornerstone of my approach. With over a decade of frontline experience in emergency nursing, I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of physical health on mental well-being and vice versa. This insight has driven me to expand my expertise beyond traditional nursing, venturing into the realms of personal training, nutrition, and, most recently, psychiatric mental health.

Holding a Precision Nutrition Master Health Coach PN2 certification, I am passionate about using evidence-based nutrition and fitness strategies not just to transform bodies, but to fortify minds. My belief is simple yet powerful: a strong body cultivates a resilient mind. This philosophy guides my mission to integrate physical wellness strategies as a fundamental component of mental health care.

Currently, as I pursue a masters in psychiatric mental health, my goal is to redefine mental health support by embedding physical health improvement as a critical element of psychiatric treatment. I envision a care model that not only addresses mental health symptoms but also empowers individuals to harness their physical health as a tool for mental and emotional resilience.

Balancing my professional aspirations with being a parent to three wonderful children, I am a living testament to the work-life harmony I preach. My journey underscores the importance of nurturing both body and mind, striving for a life where each enhances the other.

I am eager to contribute to initiatives that recognize and foster the intrinsic link between physical fitness and mental fortitude, aiming to pioneer integrated health solutions that cater to the whole person — body, mind, and spirit.

With over 14 years in the nursing field, my professional journey has been defined by a dedication to patient care across emergency care, clinical documentation, specialty infusion, and home health. My approach to nursing is rooted in a passion for transforming complex medical information into clear, easily digestible content for patients and their families, ensuring they have the understanding and comfort needed to navigate their health challenges. Alongside my clinical practice, I've embraced wellness and fitness, certified as a Precision Nutrition Master Health Coach (PN2), to advocate for a holistic health model that bridges physical well-being with mental resilience. Currently, I am advancing my expertise into psychiatric mental health with a PMHNP certification in progress, aiming to further integrate comprehensive care strategies that support both the mind and body of those in my care.

Currently, I am pursuing a PMHNP (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner) certification, a program that deepens my expertise in mental health care. This education builds on my extensive nursing background, focusing on advanced psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment strategies to provide comprehensive mental health services. Through this certification, I am expanding my skills in integrating mental wellness with holistic health approaches, preparing me to offer more specialized support for individuals facing mental health challenges.
