Introducing Our Guiding Light:
Dr. Eileen O'Grady
​
In a world where healthcare often feels as personal as a barcode,
enter Dr. Eileen O'Grady — a beacon of change, wisdom, and wellness.
Certified Nurse Practitioner, Wellness Coach, and your dedicated retreat facilitator,
Dr. O'Grady is not your garden-variety healthcare professional. She's a visionary with
a mission, turning the tide on traditional healthcare practices one evidence-based
strategy at a time.
​
Since the ripe age of 11, Dr. O'Grady has not only been interested in healthcare —
she's been invested in revolutionizing it. With a deep-seated belief that we're all just one intentional change away from remarkable well-being, she's made it her life's work to rescue us from the quicksand of unhealthy lifestyles.
An expert in adult behavior change, Dr. O'Grady preaches (and practices) the gospel of extreme self-care.
She's the person who'll teach you not just to navigate but to redesign a life that's out of balance, showing you
that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
​
As the founder of The School of Wellness, Dr. O'Grady cultivates wisdom and self-leadership like a gardener tends to their prized orchids. Her impressive repertoire includes being the current editor and author of Advanced Practice Nursing: An Integrative Approach (7th edition) — a read that's more spellbook than textbook, transforming readers into practitioners of exceptional care.
​
But that's not all. Dr. O'Grady is also the author of Intentional Therapeutic Relationships: Advancing Caring in Health Care — because to her, healthcare without a heart is like a stethoscope with no ears. And for those feeling particularly parched for wisdom, her collection of essays, Choosing Wellness: Unconventional Wisdom from a Conventional Nurse Practitioner, offers a refreshing draught of insights for the overwhelmed and stuck among us.
​
So, buckle up and prepare for an enlightening journey at the retreat, under the stewardship of Dr. Eileen O'Grady. She's not just planning to show you the horizon of healthcare's potential — she's inviting you to leap towards it with her.
