I’m a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, proud to have served NH patients since 2011. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide range of settings including primary care, urgent care, geriatrics, and even neurosurgery. Each experience has improved my skill set, broadened my perspective, and connected me with incredible patients and colleagues along the way.

I’m the mother of two wonderful children, and I'm happily married to my high school sweetheart who currently teaches at the same school where we first met. Together, we’re deeply rooted in this community. Our goal isn’t to be rich or famous — it’s to be happy and healthy.

The healthcare world has changed dramatically since I began practicing. I’ve seen insurance companies shift from being a small inconvenience to a major barrier between patients and the care they deserve. At the end of the day, health insurance companies care about profits — not people. Peiskos Wellness was created as a response to that reality — a small, owner-operated healthcare group that puts patients back at the center of care. By cutting out the middleman, we’re able to focus on connection, quality, and community. Every dollar spent with us goes directly back into our company and supports our local community.

Vanessa is a dedicated Registered Nurse with over a decade of experience in acute and subacute rehabilitation, hospice care, infection prevention, and clinical leadership. She brings both expertise and innovation to every aspect of care.

As a co-founder of Peiskos Wellness, Vanessa specializes in tailored solutions to meet the evolving needs of older adults. Her nursing practice is built on the belief that healthcare should be personal, proactive, empowering, and delivered with compassion and precision.

Vanessa’s leadership background includes roles as Director of Nursing Services and Nurse Educator, where she led multidisciplinary teams and drove quality improvement initiatives. Her approach blends clinical excellence with heartfelt care, informed by her experience as a mom of two and her lifelong passion for animals and advocacy.

Whether addressing chronic conditions, enhancing mobility, or providing wellness education, she is committed to helping clients live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
