Hi...
I'm Lori
a seasoned Nurse Practitioner turned entrepreneur, living my dream as the proud owner of two thriving businesses in telemedicine.
But let me be honest—it wasn’t always smooth sailing...
My Story
After years of working in clinics, I found myself burnt out. The long hours, the endless administrative tasks, and the feeling of being stretched thin left me craving a change. That’s when I discovered telemedicine in 2016, and it felt like a breath of fresh air.
​
Telemedicine gave me the flexibility and freedom I desperately needed.
​
My experience in telemedicine has taken me on a journey through multiple roles: Regional Practice Manager, Clinical Project Manager, Clinical Team Lead, and, of course, provider. Each role offered me a unique perspective—not just on delivering patient care but also on the behind-the-scenes operations that keep telemedicine platforms running. I gained insight into workflow strategies, platform management, and the business side of virtual healthcare.
However, something shifted when I transitioned back to working solely as a provider. I began to feel the frustrations of working for others—following their rules, meeting their metrics, and watching them profit from my hard work. I noticed a pattern: I was building someone else’s dream, not my own. That realization sparked a fire in me, and I knew it was time to create something that aligned with my vision, my values, and my goals.
​
I knew I had to take a leap and create something that aligned with my vision, my values, and my goals.
That’s when Telemedicine Chick was born—a platform dedicated to supporting, empowering, and guiding fellow nurses and NPs who want to confidently navigate telemedicine. I wanted to share everything I had learned: the ins and outs of licensing, the art of staying organized across multiple states, and the strategies for thriving in this fast-paced virtual world.
But I didn’t stop there. I also launched Kya Wellness, my own private telemedicine practice, where I could finally care for patients on my terms. No rushed appointments. No corporate red tape. Just genuine, personalized care with a focus on medical weight loss for women struggling with hormonal imbalances. These two businesses became more than just career moves—they became the foundation of a life I’m proud of, built on purpose, passion, and a commitment to helping others thrive.
I’m still growing with my businesses, and my passion for helping other nurses and nurse practitioners thrive in telemedicine continues to fuel me every day. I’m dedicated to creating resources and tools that simplify the telemedicine journey—whether it’s trackers, templates, or eBooks, to name a few —my goal is to share everything I’ve learned so others can succeed with confidence and clarity.
​
But my mission doesn’t stop there. I’ve also launched a YouTube channel where I share Telemedicine Wisdom on a variety of topics, from insights and strategies to practical telemedicine tips. My goal with each video is to empower my fellow NPs and nurses to build sustainable, fulfilling telemedicine careers.
​
Starting these businesses wasn’t easy, but every step has been worth it. I’ve never looked back, and now I’m on a mission to help others do the same—whether that means starting their own private practice, advancing their telemedicine career, or finding balance in this ever-evolving field.
If you’re ready to take charge of your telemedicine journey, I’m here to guide, support, and cheer you on every step of the way.
​
Let’s rewrite the rules—together.
