About Care Compass Nursing
At Care Compass Nursing, I believe no one should feel rushed, dismissed, or overwhelmed when it comes to their health. I created this practice to be the kind of support I wish more people had access to…clear, compassionate, and grounded in both evidence-informed wellness and real-life experience.
Before becoming a Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, I spent years in the traditional healthcare system as a Registered Nurse. I saw firsthand how often people were left with more questions than answers, and how many were told “everything looks normal” when they knew something wasn’t right.
My own complex health journey, years of symptoms that went unexplained is what ultimately led me to functional medicine. And now, I get to walk with others through the same type of healing I never knew was possible.
At Care Compass Nursing, I don’t diagnose or treat. I offer personalized wellness education, emotional clarity, and root-cause support to help you better understand your body and take aligned action. Together, we uncover simple lifestyle strategies, whole-body tools, and functional wellness insights that actually make sense for your life, no shame, no quick fixes, no overwhelm.
This is nurse-informed wellness support that goes deeper than symptom management. It’s support that honors your story, your intuition, and your goals, and helps you finally feel seen, heard, and empowered in your wellness journey.
My Mission
At Care Compass Nursing, my mission is simple:
To help individuals and families feel seen, supported, and empowered in their wellness journeys.
I combine my background as a Registered Nurse with advanced training as a Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner to guide clients with compassion, clarity, and root-cause education never shame, pressure, or confusion.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, chronic symptoms, hormone shifts, or just want a more natural, grounded approach to your health. I’m here to help you understand what your body is telling you and build sustainable habits that support real healing.
This work is not about replacing medical care, it’s about filling in the gaps with the education, encouragement, and personalized tools many people are missing. Together, we turn overwhelm into clarity and confusion into confidence.
My Values
At Care Compass Nursing, four values guide everything I do:
Dedication
You’re not just a name on a chart. I care deeply about your story, your goals, and your healing.
Compassion
You deserve support that’s kind, judgment-free, and centered on what truly matters to you.
Collaboration
I believe in working with you, not over you and helping you feel confident talking to your providers, too.
Integrity
No gimmicks, no fluff. Just grounded, evidence-informed guidance that honors both science and your lived experience.
These values shape how I show up as a nurse informed wellness coach, functional medicine practitioner, and someone who truly wants to see you thrive.
My Journey
Company History
Care Compass Nursing was founded to fill a gap I saw every day in traditional healthcare where patients often left feeling rushed, confused, or unheard.
As a BSN-trained nurse working in clinical settings, I watched countless individuals struggle to understand their bodies, navigate their symptoms, and communicate effectively with their providers. I knew there had to be a better way to support people in their health journeys with more time, more clarity, and more compassion.
That vision became Care Compass: a place where individuals and families could receive personalized, nurse-informed wellness coaching rooted in functional medicine without the pressure of diagnosis or treatment.
Instead, I offer a space for education, empowerment, and practical strategies tailored to each client’s needs. My mission is to help people feel more in control of their health, more confident in their choices, and more connected to their bodies.
Since launching Care Compass, I’ve supported women, children, and older adults through functional wellness education that makes sense and makes a difference.
This work is personal, practical, and deeply rooted in integrity. And every day, I’m grateful for the opportunity to bridge the gap between conventional care and whole-body healing.
A LEtter From Our Founder
Hi There, I’m Gabby!
I’m the founder of Care Compass Nursing and a Registered Nurse (BSN), Board Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (BC-FMP), and Board Certified Functional Nurse Health Coach (BC-FNHC).
When it comes to your health and well-being, I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach no single “right” or “wrong” way to heal, support your body, or make decisions. You know yourself better than anyone, and my role is to help you trust that intuition, gain clarity, and feel empowered every step of the way.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve experienced the healthcare system from nearly every angle as a patient, a loved one, and a nursing professional. I’ve seen the confusion, the overwhelm, the rushed appointments, and the moments where people walk away feeling unheard or dismissed.
Those experiences opened my eyes to how deeply people need more than just quick answers they need support, guidance, and someone who truly listens.
My own healing journey has been messy and imperfect filled with trial and error and moments of deep frustration. But it’s also what shaped my compassion, my perspective, and the way I show up for others. It taught me the importance of having someone in your corner someone who understands the system, sees the whole person, and can help you navigate your wellness journey with more confidence and peace.
I created Care Compass to offer exactly that:
A place for functional wellness education, supportive coaching, and clarity in an empowering environment.
Not medical care.
Not cookie-cutter answers.
Just real, evidence-informed guidance and the kind of support I wish I had during my own journey.
My work is rooted in compassion, integrity, and a deep belief that you deserve to feel supported not rushed, judged, or left to figure everything out on your own.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, exploring a more holistic approach, or simply wanting someone to help you make sense of your wellness concerns, I’m here to walk alongside you.
My promise to you is this:
I will always show up authentically and wholeheartedly.
You’ll be met with kindness, respect, and nurse-informed, functional wellness support that honors your story, your values, and your goals.
You deserve the very best support and I’m here to make sure you get it.
Warmly,
Gabby Zietlow, RN, BSN
