Michigan Nurse & Wellness Consultant healthcare workers with retention strategies & supports patients using innovative techniques for balance & well-being.
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, April 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Debra Reis, MSN, RN, CNS, is on a mission to revolutionize the nursing industry by integrating holistic health and supportive therapies into the practice of healthcare. With a career spanning over 40 years, Debra is not only a Registered Nurse and Clinical Nurse Specialist but also a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist and Certified Healing Touch Practitioner. Through her independent practice, Debra Reis Wellness Services, LLC, based in Michigan, she is dedicated to providing healthcare leaders with essential tools and resources designed to enhance job satisfaction, improve morale, and reduce employee turnover.
In the fast-paced world of healthcare, it is easy for practitioners to become overwhelmed and disconnected. Debra emphasizes the importance of self-care for healthcare professionals, stating, “If you are not feeling renewed and balanced, then you're not in the best place to provide services to others. I believe supportive therapies are essential to integrate into your life and your practice. They can help guide you back to a place of peace & balance.”
Debra’s educational background is impressive, with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Toledo and a Master of Science in Nursing from Wayne State University. She is a respected member of several professional organizations, including the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy, the Oncology Nursing Society, the International Clinical Aromatherapy Network, the Alliance of International Aromatherapists, and the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. Her extensive knowledge and experience in both traditional and holistic nursing make her a valuable resource for healthcare professionals seeking to incorporate integrative therapies into their practice.
As an advanced practice nurse, Debra understands the importance of evidence-based modalities. Her teaching philosophy blends science-backed research, ancient energetic wisdom, and practical experience to create a comprehensive approach to holistic health. Her journey into supportive therapies began when she noticed the profound benefits these techniques provided to her patients. However, she also recognized that many nurses struggled to implement these therapies due to time constraints and a lack of understanding.
To address these challenges, Debra developed the Integrative Supportive Therapy Engagement Program (I-S.T.E.P.), a unique training program designed to provide healthcare providers with accessible, effective techniques to achieve balance and peace in five minutes or less. This program is the culmination of decades of experience and is aimed at helping healthcare professionals manage stress and improve their overall well-being.
Debra has successfully implemented staff education plans and programs using supportive therapies for pain management and other concerns at various healthcare institutions. Her work with leaders in Emergency Centers, Critical Care, and Pediatrics has been instrumental in bringing supportive therapies to patients and staff alike. One of her most notable achievements is the development of Supportive Therapy services for the Outpatient Oncology service line, which spans nine systems across two states, benefitting staff, patients, and families.
In addition to her clinical expertise, Debra is a gifted author and speaker, sharing her knowledge and insights with a broader audience. Her dedication to empowering both patients and nurses drives her success and has solidified her reputation as a leader in the field of holistic nursing. “My passion lies in helping individuals find their path to wellness and balance, whether they are patients or fellow nurses,” she shares.
Outside of her professional life, Debra embraces adventure and fun. A roller coaster enthusiast, she and her family make annual trips to Cedar Point amusement park, where she fearlessly rides every coaster. A lover of water activities, Debra enjoys boating and jet skiing, and she frequently explores the Great Lakes, discovering new places along the way. In her downtime, she enjoys action-packed and sci-fi films, and dancing has always been a vital part of her life, bringing joy and freedom to her spirit.
Family is at the center of Debra’s life. As a proud gramie, she actively participates in her grandchildren's lives and is thrilled to witness their interest in supportive therapies. She loves sharing her passion for wellness with them through movement, aromatherapy, and healing touch, instilling in the next generation the importance of self-care and holistic health.
Debra Reis is undeniably a trailblazer in the nursing industry, blending traditional healthcare practices with holistic approaches to create a more balanced and fulfilling environment for both healthcare providers and patients. Her work continues to inspire others to embrace integrative therapies that promote well-being and harmony in their lives.
