Meet Charisma Freeman,

Founder & Lead Clinician, Holistic Breakthrough Wellness Clinic
💛 20 Years Clinical Expertise| Board Certified Nurse Practitioner| Registered Nurse| Functional Medicine Specialist Holistic Nurse Coach
I’m a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner and Certified Functional Medicine Provider with nearly two decades of experience caring for adults and women across ICU, oncology, hospice, psychiatry, and integrative mental health.
But titles alone don’t tell my entire story.
✨ What Does This Mean for You?
You’re not just getting another medical provider. You’re partnering with a compassionate, knowledgeable clinician who understands that you are more than your symptoms and that true wellness requires looking at the whole person.
My Journey Changed Everything
After years in traditional healthcare—and through my son’s struggles with special needs and a rare, progressive disability—I became tired of following a conventional medical path that simply wasn’t giving us the life I wanted for him.
I decided to do things differently.
If the doctors said he would get worse year after year, we were going to live our life now.
So, when my daughter graduated from high school, I made the decision to transition our family to a life of living abroad. ✈️
I picked up everything and left the States.
It was a leap of faith—but it changed everything.
The nutritional changes, the movement—swimming, horseback riding, long walks in the sun—the fresh foods, and a calmer environment shifted not only my health, but my son’s entire trajectory.
He was able to discontinue several medications, and his medical team in Atlanta was amazed by his progress.
What began as a desperate search for answers became a journey of healing and transformation.
Then I Saw Something Deeper
What I hadn’t expected was that, while living abroad, I would begin to notice something deeper:
Black women around me—including myself—were still hurting.
Despite the beautiful beaches, slower pace, and freedom from the constant grind, so many women were still carrying the same emotional wounds, exhaustion, and unhealed pain they thought they had left behind.
We had changed our environment, but not yet our inner world.
And that realization became the seed of my purpose:
To help women not just relocate—but truly heal.
I began using my medical experience, mental health knowledge, and healing expertise to work through my own healing—not just my child’s.
For once, I was putting my needs first, and it felt amazing. 💛
I began incorporating spirituality, movement, the ocean, therapy, sunlight, nutrition, plant medicine, and other natural modalities into my own journey.
And I started to heal in ways I hadn't experienced before.
I was able to wean off antidepressants, and today I rarely need an anti-anxiety medication. In the States, I carried it everywhere—tucked in my purse “just in case.”
But now?
I’m genuinely happier.
I Didn’t Just Treat My Symptoms. I Transformed My Life.
That experience is why I believe so strongly in a personalized approach to healing.
What worked for my son didn’t necessarily work for me.
I had to sit down with myself, identify my problems, understand what was underneath them, and work backward to figure out what I actually needed.
Because I was doing much of this on my own, it took years.
And I don't want it to take you years.
That experience became the foundation for Holistic Breakthrough Wellness Clinic—a haven created for high-achieving women who want to heal and finally have the space to heal.
A space where you can slow down, be honest about what isn't working, and receive a personalized approach designed around you.
My work blends:
The Science of Functional Medicine
The Soul of Holistic Healing
The Compassion ingrained in the Nursing profession
Together, these create an approach that honors the whole woman—her body, her mind, and her story.
My goal is to help women move from survival mode to calm, clarity, and balance—mind, body, and spirit.
🌿 My Philosophy Is Simple:
Healing is possible when we honor the whole woman—her body, her mind, and her story.
🌸 Collaborative Care
While I lead all client care, I occasionally collaborate with trusted colleagues who share my holistic approach.
Dr. Shayla Tumbling, Ph.D — A sexuality and emotional healing coach — joins select client cases and group sessions to support deeper emotional breakthroughs.
Together, we bring a compassionate and integrative touch to every woman’s healing journey.
Each collaboration is carefully chosen to support your growth — never to replace the personal care you receive directly from me.
