Meet Our Team

Heather Pearce-Shew, MSN, CRNA, FNP-BC

Heather was born & raised in Greenville, NC & so it was natural for East Carolina University to become her home for both undergraduate & graduate education. She also holds a post-graduate certificate from University of Cincinnati, making Heather a double-board certified Nurse Anesthesiologist & Nurse Practitioner.

Heather is passionate about integrating conventional medicine with complimentary approaches in order to help each individual heal & thrive.

She loves learning new ways of approaching wellness & is always researching something new. Heather believes in patient-centered care that focuses on respectful & individually-tailored treatments guided by each patient's needs, preferences, & values. She doesn't shy away from the difficult things, & will always try to find an intervention for our patients when nothing else has helped. Heather founded Infuse Wellness in 2018 to provide an unconventional treatment for those who struggle with severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, & difficult chronic pain; Infuse has continued to grow from there. Thinking outside-the-box is what we do here, & proud of it.

After living in the NC mountains for almost 15 years, Heather & her

retired-Army husband, Dan, headed back down towards the coast. Heather enjoys being out-&-about in a drop-top or on two wheels. Dan is either

right behind her on his own motorcycle, or playing some music on a keyboard or guitar while Heather tries to keep up on bass or drums. She loves reading, baking, & all animals great & small!
