Lindsay Damen
Nurse Practitioner
Lindsay is beyond excited to finally be able to offer nurse practitioner services in her hometown! Lindsay comes to Her Optimal Health with over 15 years of nursing experience. She became a registered nurse in 2004, graduating from McMaster University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. She spent her earlier career working in both hospital and community settings with adults and adolescents facing various mental health challenges. She soon recognized the need for enhanced mental health care at the primary care level and returned to school to pursue the primary health care nurse practitioner program. She successfully completed this along with a Masters of Science in Nursing degree from York University. Since 2011, Lindsay has been working with individuals and families, providing primary health care for a broad range of health issues. Lindsay continues to provide preventative health care and advanced nursing care to women across the lifespan. After becoming a mother to three young children, Lindsay became even more passionate about providing optimal health care to women. Lindsay comes with a breadth of knowledge related to women’s mental health, contraceptive care, sexual health, and health issues in the menopausal years. Her nurse practitioner lens allows her to provide both holistic and medical evidence-based client centred care. Whether you are in need of preventative health screening such as a pap test or mammogram, require counselling and prescribing of birth control, or need a referral to a specialist or other health care provider in the community, Lindsay is eager to work with you to empower your own health!
