Hi, I’m Abby and I’m honored that you’re here!
My experience as a wound ostomy nurse revealed a significant gap in access to specialized ostomy care and support for patients with new and established ostomies once discharged from the hospital. Recognizing this need inspired me to establish Enhearten Ostomy. I have always harbored an innate desire to support others in realizing their fullest potential, a commitment that seamlessly extends into my role as a registered nurse and ostomy specialist. I am passionate about partnering with individuals to enhance their ostomy experience and journey, helping them to thrive beyond their challenges.
A little more about me: I have a love for learning about our constantly evolving world. Whether it’s through traveling, indulging in a compelling documentary, delving into topics that pique my interest, or engaging in meaningful conversations with new acquaintances, I find joy in expanding my knowledge. I believe that life is a journey of continuous growth and self-discovery, where we can immerse ourselves in the richness of experience to become a source of blessing to others and find fulfillment in our own blessings.
