Inspiring Conversations with Erin Allen Bullock of Cura Personalis Integrative Health

Today we’d like to introduce you to Erin Allen Bullock.

Hi Erin, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been in healthcare for over 20 years. I was frustrated and disappointed with the way corporate healthcare and commercial health insurance treat their patients and providers. It’s so exhausting and disheartening to see dozens of patients a day but not feel like you have the time or the systems in place to help people stay healthy. I felt like I was putting a band-aid on everything. I wanted to be able to get to the root of the problem for people and put them on the path to wellness once and for all.

In 2021 I had had enough, I decided it was time to open a practice that was able to treat people the way I would want to be treated. Cura Personalis Integrative Health is a space where patients are treated as people, all are welcome, no one is judged, and we partner with you to help you achieve your health goals.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Nothing about striking out on your own is ever easy. I’ve been challenged in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Financially, socially, emotionally, and physically, I was stretched to what felt like my limit. Guess what though, it wasn’t my limit. I realized I had a much bigger capacity for success and growth than I had ever imagined.

I’ve been shut out of traditional health systems, told what I was doing was never going to make this work and that without the backing of big hospital systems and commercial insurance, I would never succeed. The nay-sayers are wrong! People want the choices that this practice is offering.

The last two years have been a period of tremendous personal and professional growth. I think when you are stressed and strained you have to prioritize your life. You realize quickly who your genuine friends are, you re-evaluate your financial choices, and you analyze how you spend your time. As a business owner, you learn quickly that currency is more than money, it’s emotional currency, energetic currency, and where you spend it matters.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Cura Personalis is Latin for “care for the whole person”. We take an integrative, holistic approach to primary care, personalizing your treatment plans to your life, goals, and needs by looking for the root causes of issues and illness. We are here to help you improve your health and quality of life by developing a deeper understanding of not just your health issues, but your habits, stresses, beliefs, and lifestyle choices. I think that sets us apart from most providers.

I’m very proud of the fact that we truly care for your body, mind, and spirit. This isn’t like a clinic or urgent care where all we are going to do is treat your strep throat or do your pap smear. We can do those things, and we do them all day long, but we also want to prevent illness. We teach prevention, nutrition, safe sexual practices, self-care, stress reduction, and a host of other things. It’s not a separate class, we aren’t going to just toss you some pamphlets.

We get to know you, we teach as we go, we look at the whole picture and we help you help yourself get healthy and stay healthy. Our providers offer primary care, women’s health care, psychiatric and mental health treatment, counseling, and coaching, as well as bodywork such as massage, healing touch, and reiki.

We love surprises, fun facts, and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
Most people don’t know that I live way outside of town with a dozen adopted animals, a flock of hens, my husband, and our two teen boys. I love being able to escape the city a bit and enjoy the peaceful chaos of my little suburban homestead.
