Carly Sweetman, RN BSN, HTMA Practitioner Associate
About Carly Sweetman, RN BSN, HTMA Practitioner, Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator, Myofascial Release Therapist, Herbalist, Advanced Reiki Practitioner.
Carly considers herself a “rebellious nurse” because of her uniquely holistic view of the body and her focus on the emotional and energetic aspects of health – that the medical system doesn’t even acknowledge.
She is passionate about helping people to achieve optimal health and to avoid the pitfalls of conventional medicine!
Carly Sweetman is a decorated and disabled United States Marine Corps war veteran who proudly served her country from 2006 to 2010. She was honorably discharged from the military and immediately began utilizing her GI Bill to become a Registered Nurse.
Education and Training
Carly graduated summa cum laude from Stony Brook University’s School of Nursing with various additional academic honors in 2014.
She worked for a corporate health system for a total of six years, as both a Medical Surgical Nurse and then served her community as a Visiting Nurse.
At the same time she was working with hundreds of patients on a weekly basis, Carly was attempting to remedy her own personal health issues through the medical system, and she began to notice two distinct patterns:
1. There was a constant focus on prescribing new medications.
2. No one’s, including her own, health was actually improving!
In 2019, Carly set out to learn as much as possible about alternative health practices that would help with her own CPTSD and the chronic pain she was living with from her military service. During this process she experienced the frustrating inability of the medical system to successfully treat her and help her to recover.
Carly was driven to learn as much as she could for her own personal benefit, with the ultimate dream of helping as many people as possible solve their health issues by addressing the root cause of their symptoms.
