Personal Journey
Dr. FitzGerald brings over 25 years of experience in healthcare, shaped by both her professional training and her personal journey. Raised on a trout farm, she grew up fishing, canoeing, and exploring the outdoors—experiences that fostered a deep respect for nature and continue to influence her integrative approach to care.
Her path into healthcare was also shaped by personal challenges. From wearing a brace for scoliosis as a child to navigating pregnancy loss and infertility as an adult, these experiences became powerful catalysts for both personal and clinical growth. Inspired by supportive, forward-thinking providers and her own determination to question conventional approaches, FitzGerald Health and Wellness began to take root more than 20 years ago—around the time she welcomed the successful conception and birth of her son.
Today, Dr. FitzGerald remains deeply committed to questioning the status quo and staying at the forefront of medical research. She continually seeks new knowledge to better serve her patients with compassion, innovation, and hope. As a member of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), she recently attended their conference in San Antonio, Texas, where she completed the ILADS Vector-Borne Illness Fundamentals Course. She is also thrilled to be collaborating with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald and her team at the New Frontiers Functional Medicine and Nutrition Clinic.
Grounded in her past and inspired by the evolving landscape of functional and integrative medicine, Dr. Fitzgerald is honored to provide personalized, thoughtful care to every patient she serves.
