Molly“Selah" Craven, FNP

Selah Craven is a family nurse practitioner at Whole Family Medicine in Barnardsville. Craven earned a master's degree in nursing with a specialty in family medicine in 2016 and started out in palliative care, building individualized plans to improve quality of life for patients managing chronic disease, while also studying Anthroposophic medicine.

The interest in wellness goes back to the teenage years, when Craven began questioning a conventional diet. By the early twenties that curiosity had turned into apprenticing with an herbalist, cooking nutrient-dense meals, working organic farms, and completing a lay midwifery training. The birth of a son, partway through a degree in environmental policy, set off a ten-year path toward becoming a family nurse practitioner, driven by a wish to care for whole families and bring natural medicine into that care.

The practice is built on attentive listening, radical compassion, and genuine partnership, on the belief that healing is always possible, wherever someone starts from.
