Our Graduates are Prepared for Success!

FNA was instrumental in making my dream career a reality.  It provided me with the knowledge and structure to move from nursing to starting my own business in functional medicine and wellness consulting. 

I now handle my own clients and am grateful to FNA for empowering my career transformation and am passionate about encouraging other nurses to take this rewarding journey!

Melissa's Functional Nurse Academy has every aspect I wanted to have for my functional medicine practice without me having to do the leg work!

 The educational portion of the program is priceless and Melissa does an excellent job explaining how the lab results connect and can indicate specific imbalances.

Her organization with the steps to setting up the business portion is also extremely easy to follow and complete quickly to get up and running!

I am so grateful Melissa created this program as it is providing me with the opportunity to be my own boss to live a life of purpose as well as being financially abundant by sharing my experiences & knowledge with the world to impact others' health & wellness journeys.

Functional Nurse Academy has completely changed my career and the way I care for myself, my family and my clients.

The training in functional medicine has helped me move beyond the traditional sick care model and adopt a holistic, patient-focused approach. The in-depth lessons on applying functional medicine and nurse coaching have made a huge difference in how I can support client outcomes.

The courses on nurse entrepreneurship and business formation gave me the confidence and skills to start my own practice. Now, I can run my own nurse-owned concierge practice and provide personalized care that truly impacts lives. FNA has not only boosted my professional skills but also reignited my passion for nursing. I highly recommend Functional Nurse Academy to any nurse looking to take their career to the next level and make a real difference in healthcare.

Meet the FNA Founder

Melissa Schreibfeder is a devoted follower of Christ, a seasoned registered nurse, and a globally acclaimed radio show host. With over a decade of experience, she holds board certifications as a functional medicine practitioner and nurse coach.  She is recognized as an approved continuing education provider (#50-33409).

Her personal health challenges, including battling an undiagnosed autoimmune condition and chronic Lyme disease, ignited Melissa's journey into functional medicine. Through firsthand experience, she witnessed the profound impact of functional medicine in reversing disease processes.

Melissa's professional journey has encompassed roles as a nurse educator and influential public speaker, where she has dedicated herself to educating and empowering others. Frustrated with the limitations of the conventional medical model—both as a nurse and a patient—Melissa founded a private practice focused on functional medicine. Here, she champions patient rights, addresses root causes of illnesses, and implements comprehensive lifestyle and nutritional interventions to foster healing.

Driven by her success in clinical practice, Melissa established the Functional Nurse Academy, a cornerstone of her mission to transform healthcare. This academy is dedicated to nurturing an alternative healthcare model centered on genuine health and wellness. It equips nurses with the knowledge and tools to practice beyond the confines of traditional sick care, empowering them to find fulfillment in their careers while advocating for holistic approaches to wellness.

Melissa's journey—from navigating her own health challenges to becoming a leader in functional medicine and nurse education—illustrates her unwavering commitment to transforming healthcare paradigms. Her integration of faith, expertise, and passion for holistic health underscores her mission to promote comprehensive well-being in her community and beyond.
