📚 April Book Club — Join Us! 🌊

We're kicking off something exciting this April at Seaside Wellness — a community Book Club!

This month we're reading 📖 Get It Done NOW! by JB Glossinger, Founder of MorningCoach® — a powerful read on how to align who you're becoming with what you're doing every day.

If you're looking to grow, get unstuck, or simply surround yourself with like-minded people on a journey toward their best selves — this is for YOU. 🙌

💬 Here's how it works:
We'll be sharing ideas, reflections, and encouragement throughout the month in a private online group. It's a safe, supportive space for personal growth conversations — not clinical advice, just community.

📩 Interested? Send us a message and we'll add you to the private group!

Let's grow together this April. 🌱✨

You can find the book here on Amazon in hardcover, paperback, or kindle.

⚠️ Community Disclaimer: This book club is a community wellness and personal growth initiative. It is not a medical program, does not constitute medical advice, and is not patient-centered care. Participation is open to all — not just patients of Seaside Wellness. No clinical or provider-patient relationship is formed through this group. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical concerns.

🧡 March is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month 🧡

At Seaside Wellness™, MS awareness is deeply personal to our mission.

As both a nurse practitioner and an MS warrior myself, I understand — not just clinically, but personally — how complex and overwhelming autoimmune conditions can feel. This journey is one of the reasons I became so passionate about a functional, integrative approach to care.

MS is not one-size-fits-all.

It is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system, and symptoms can look very different from person to person — including fatigue, pain, brain fog, mood changes, and mobility challenges.

✨ What we know is this:

Healing support must be personalized, comprehensive, and compassionate.

At Seaside Wellness™, we believe in:

✔ Whole-person care
✔ Root-cause exploration
✔ Evidence-based functional and integrative strategies
✔ Walking alongside our patients every step of the way

If you or someone you love is navigating MS or other autoimmune challenges, please know — you are not alone on this journey.

We are honored to serve this community every single day.

🧡 In honor of MS Awareness Month, we invite you — if you feel comfortable — to share a selfie or drop an orange heart in the comments to show support for those living with MS.

Together, we raise awareness and remind each other that no one walks this journey alone.

🌸 Meet the Heart of Seaside Wellness™ — Our Mamasan aka Mamacita and Gickie (for grandma Vickie).

Behind every warm welcome at Seaside Wellness™ is a woman whose story is built on strength, sacrifice, and love.

💖 Meet Vickie “Mamasan” Doughty, age 74 — the beautiful soul who helps keep our office running with grace, a smile, and southern charm.

A single mother who worked 2–3 jobs at a time, Mamasan made sure her daughter had every opportunity to dream big — from dance and gymnastics to private school and voice lessons.

She is:

✨ Former Cosmetologist and beauty salon owner
✨ Assisted living beautician
✨ Steakhouse waitress and bartender manager
✨ Proud grandmother to Alex, Clark, Lizi & Lulu
✨ Loving great-grandmother to baby Noah and TBD
🐾 Devoted dog mom to crazy hyper Trump 🐶

After moving to Florida in 2020 to be closer to family, she brought her servant’s heart to Seaside Wellness™, where she:

☕ Makes the coffee
🧹 Keeps the office beautiful
😊 Greets our patients with warmth
📋 Helps wherever she is needed
😄 She keeps us laughing
🤭 She has zero filter
💙 All heart
🙏 And she quietly prays for the patients who walk through our doors

Her life message still guides us today:

Dream big. Stay kind. You can do anything you set your mind to.

We are beyond blessed to have our Mamasan as part of the Seaside family. 💙

🌊 Welcome Kaci Ward, APRN, PMHNP! 🌊

We’re excited to welcome Kaci Ward, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a rich background in whole-person, compassionate care.

Kaci is now accepting patients and takes:
✔ Tricare
✔ UnitedHealthcare (UHC)
✔ Aetna
