Who We are

Hello, I am Heidi Dowd, a dedicated nurse practitioner with a passion for holistic healthcare. My journey began at UWEC, where I earned my BSN in 2005, leading me to a fulfilling career in cardiology at Mayo Clinic Health Systems. After obtaining my MSN in adult health, I transitioned to cardiac surgery at United Hospital in St. Paul and later at Prevea Health/Sacred Heart Hospital. Despite my success in traditional medicine, my personal health challenges sparked a profound interest in functional medicine nearly a decade ago.

Driven by a desire to explore alternative healthcare approaches, I immersed myself in the world of functional medicine, attending conferences and collaborating with experts in the field. This all lead to me receiving my certification in functional medicine in 2025. Integrating this knowledge into my cardiac surgery practice, I witnessed the transformative power of a holistic approach to health. In 2024, I embraced functional medicine wholeheartedly, embarking on a journey to serve a diverse range of clients with compassion and expertise.

With over a year of experience in various functional medicine practices, Wildflower Wellness Center represents the culmination of my dedication to providing high-quality, affordable care to the Menomonie community. My mission is to offer personalized, comprehensive healthcare that addresses the root causes of health issues, empowering individuals to achieve optimal well-being.
