Hi there! My name is Gini Varghese and I have been a nurse practitioner for over 24 years. I was born in New York and grew up in New Jersey. I got my first Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from New York University and then went on to get my second Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and a Master’s in Science as a Nurse Practitioner from Pace University. I come from a long line of nurses and healers. There are many nurses in my family including my mom, sister and niece and my daughter is currently studying to be a nurse. My grandfather was the local healer in India so apparently helping people is in my genes!I am passionate about helping people and meeting my patients where they are at.

 

Each person has a unique story and I want to know your story and how it relates to your health. I pride myself on being able to connect with people, being able to truly understand their health struggles and then help them improve their health. I’ve started my own practice because I was unsatisfied with trying to help patients within a 15 minute time frame. I also knew that many people didn’t just need a pill. People need someone to sort through their medical history and medications, carefully review their diet, help them with exercise and do some detective work! I personally know how effective functional medicine is.

 

A few years ago, I was tired, achy, overweight and diagnosed with prediabetes and fibromyalgia. I saw a functional medicine physician and she changed my life. I want to share that life-changing knowledge!

 

I live with my husband, two teenage kids, my mom and our dog. Things I love-reading, travel (though I am NOT a fan of flying), Cancun, playing pickleball, taking walks, exercising, cooking and baking, dancing, dad jokes, music, chocolate, chocolate cake (yes it needed a separate mention), fireworks, babies, dogs, time with my family and friends, having fun and meeting new people. We live one life and I’m going to make the most of it! I want to help you do the same.
