We were lucky to catch up with Damara Morgan recently and have shared our conversation below.
Damara, appreciate you joining us today. Over the course of your career, have you seen or experienced your field completely flip-flop or change course on something?
In conventional medicine the guidelines and treatment approach are symptom driven. I feel there is becoming a shift in society seeking more answers than just what medications are available to “fix” but rather what’s the root cause. As I studied and practiced primary care, I found myself blunted in availability of treatment to best help patients. For example, acne treatment guidelines include antibiotic treatment. However, I knew I could help so much more with the right skincare and lifestyle modifications to eliminate or better treat the root cause of acne. I also have niched practice weight loss. It has been such a pleasure helping patients finally release unwanted weight while also creating a much healthier lifestyle. I have helped them get to the root cause and learn nutrition and hormones to help them feel healthy and achieve sustainable weight loss.
Damara, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Damara Morgan. I am a nurse practitioner and founder of NOJE Health & Aesthetics. At NOJE, the fields of beauty, science, and nutrition converge to manage antiaging. I believe feeling good on the inside is just as important as looking good on the outside.
NOJE Health & Aesthetics is located in an intimate boutique setting in Hagerstown, MD. Services include neuromodulator, dermal filler, and biostimulator injectables to treat cosmetic concerns of wrinkles, volume loss and stimulate collagen and elastin production. I consult clients on professional grade skincare in addition to chemical peels and microneedling procedures to optimize skin health. I also offer functional nutrition and vitamin consults in addition to medical managed weight loss therapy to improve overall health and achieve sustainable weight loss goals.
You will be guided by myself, a local, passionate, and certified nurse practitioner who deeply cares about you.
If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?
No! Nursing is such a fulfilling career. It has provided vast opportunity to help others from bedside nursing in the intensive care unit, to primary care as a nurse practitioner, to now a business owner with a niche practice! Each experience in nursing has complimented the other and provides a rewarding experience of helping others.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
The core values of mine as a medical professional is to treat patients as if they are family, practice evidence based medicine, and have a conservative but thorough approach. It will gain you trust and success!
