Helping Children Thrive
I’m Glad You’re Here
Hi! I’m Julia Zahn APRN CPNP. I have been a pediatric nurse practitioner with a passion for holistic medicine for 14 years. For the past five years I have dived deep into pediatric integrative and functional medicine.
My hope is to be your teammate, cheerleader, and guide on your child’s healing journey.
Together we will peel back the layers of root causes, and move from treating symptoms to recovering health and wellness. We’ll explore your child’s nutritional status, sleep quality, microbiome, immune function, hidden infections, environmental exposures, and emotional and psychological health.
Using a variety of diagnostic and laboratory testing we will create a personalized plan for your child to move from stuck to thriving. This may include diet and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical treatments, and referrals when necessary.
Together, one change at a time, we will transform your child’s health. It is a sacred privilege to be invited on this journey with you and your child!
With love,
Julia Zahn APRN CPNP

A Little About Me
I received my Masters of Science in Nursing at Rush University in Chicago Illinois and my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Marquette University in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
My masters program specialized in pediatric primary care and I am a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I have spent nearly 20 years as a pediatric nurse.
I learned pediatric functional medicine through the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS). I completed the fellowship program which included in depth functional training on Environmental Medicine, Neurology, Metabolism, Gastroenterology, Nutrition, Immunology, and Advanced Clinical Practice.
I am continually fine tuning my skills as a pediatric functional medicine practitioner. I do this by participating in mentorship programs with pediatric functional medicine experts, attending conferences, listening to webinars, and reading literature.
Outside of work I love being home with my husband Kirk and my three children. As a family we love to be outdoors, read great books, add to our menagerie of pets, and create things. Most of all we love to follow Jesus.

What People Are Saying
id="Testimonials"
“Julia Zahn APRN is one of my favorite people. I can not recommend her enough as a pediatric GP. She is the perfect mix of functional medicine with traditional medicine. She goes above and beyond. If you are looking for a GP for your children and value a natural first, traditional when necessary approach then I would highly recommend.”

“Julia is thorough and leaves no detail behind. She is very knowledgeable and proactive. I know my daughter’s health is in good hands. We are so glad she is close to us and serving our community.”
— Britney B
“Julia has been an absolute Godsend for my daughter's health journey! My daughter developed PANS with an onset of debilitating OCD symptoms following an illness. When other health professionals were reluctant to treat my daughter, Julia walked with us every step of the way providing excellent care. She is one of the few practitioners in the Wichita area with experience in navigating PANS/PANDAS. She listened attentively to our concerns and was readily available with advice/changes in treatment in between appointments. Most importantly, she validated my daughter's emotions and struggles. I cannot recommend her enough! ”
