From Nurse to Holistic Health Advocate

Bianca Salgado’s journey into holistic health was born from a deep-seated need for integrative approaches in the healthcare systems where she worked. As she engaged with patients suffering from chronic conditions, she recognized the limitations of conventional medicine and the necessity for a multi-layered approach to true healing and well-being.

With nearly five years of experience in the nursing and medical fields, Bianca reached a pivotal moment in her career where she sought a transition into the holistic health space. This search led her to American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS), where she meticulously researched various programs. She ultimately found her passion within the Integrative Health Sciences program, which aligned perfectly with her vision of comprehensive patient care.

During her years at ACHS, Bianca deepened her knowledge of the healing arts and built a strong foundation in holistic medicine. This educational journey not only shaped her expertise but also empowered her to create an online wellness platform dedicated to holistic education and services. Bianca graduated from ACHS with a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Health Sciences, specializing in Herbal Studies.
