Dr. Julie Nisco Madden, DNP, RN, AHN-BC, PHN was a Hospice Registered Nurse for nearly ten years before becoming an Integrative Health Doctor of Nursing Practice. As the Director of Development for Integrative Health at a small palliative and hospice nonprofit (phpcf.org), Dr. Julie is passionate about increasing access to integrative health and whole-person care. She has been humbled by opportunities to present on holistic health and wellness. She is also a Reiki Master Teacher and Adjunct Professor of Nursing who prioritizes client and student holistic wellbeing.

Dr. Julie has special interest in the promotion of quality virtual care, increasing access while maintaining best holistic care practices. She discovered the outstanding potential of virtual care during her doctoral project, focusing on the impact of transitioning from an in-person to virtual environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When Dr. Julie is not working with PHPCF or teaching, she can be found providing accessible mobile and distance reiki sessions in her community, saori weaving, or spending quality time with her family, friends, and chickens.
