Maureen Durkin

Maureen graduated from Georgetown University in Washington DC in 1983 with a BS in Nursing. She spent the next 15 years working in the acute care hospital setting mostly in the Intensive Care Unit. Maureen was introduced to nutritional supplementation in my mid 30's when she began experiencing symptoms of chronic fatigue and suffered with debilitating migraines. By changing her diet and taking supplements, she was able to eliminate these symptoms and dramatically improve the quality of her life. With a passion for the power of nutrition, Maureen became a Certified Nutritional Consultant and opened her own private practice initially dealing with children on the autistic spectrum and subsequently became the children's director at NuBasx Medical Clinic. Having worked in traditional hospital settings and now as a functional medicine practitioner Maureen has learned what the obstacles to optimal wellness can be and how you can take control of your own health.
