Maika Baillargeon, FMP-N
Nurse Maika has dedicated herself to the nursing field since 1988, offering diverse expertise across pediatrics, NICU, urgent care, teaching, and homecare over the span of three decades. However, a profound personal health crisis exposed the limitations of traditional medicine and set her on a transformative journey toward holistic health.
After a near-fatal car accident at 38 left her feeling utterly debilitated, Nurse Maika sought healing outside the mainstream medical arena. Guided by the belief in the body's innate healing capabilities, she discovered Functional Medicine, a turning point in her healing journey and career.
Between 2002-2005, she transitioned into the realm of Functional Medicine and Anti-Aging. Here, she discovered the powerful potential of root-healing and holistic protocols that continue to astonish her today. Nurse Maika was instrumental in launching some of the early Anti-Aging and Bio-identical Hormone clinics in CT, and concurrently began her holistic health business.
Driven by her personal experience, she is committed to helping patients who are weary of being unwell without answers. Nursing side by side with Dr. Marie Dam since 2007 and joining her at Healthstream in 2012, they offer comprehensive, personalized programs, including hormone restoration and balancing, as well as functional, foundational, restorative, and peptide therapy options.
With certifications in various mind-body-spirit healing methods, Nurse Maika is an unendingly curious student, always seeking out fresh insights from countless summits, webinars, and courses. Yet, her greatest joy lies in sharing this knowledge with her patients, restoring their hope, and reminding them that optimal health, healing, and daily happiness are their divine rights.
