The White Oak Medicine Health Education Series

Tending the Mind

Meditation as Inner Gardening

with Veronica Johnson of White Oak Medicine

At White Oak Medicine, we believe true health care means understanding your whole self—not just treating symptoms. Our Health Education Series is a free, ongoing community offering designed to explore topics that support nervous system regulation, emotional wellness, and root-cause healing.

These classes are practical, approachable, and rooted in our whole-person philosophy of care. Whether you’re curious about holistic practices, looking for new tools, or just wanting to reconnect with yourself—this space is for you.

Each class is led by Veronica, FNP, PMHNP, or a featured presenter selected for their expertise and alignment with our whole-person approach. These classes bring a range of voices and perspectives to whole-person healing—part education, part experience, and always grounded in the idea that your body knows how to heal with the right support.

Classes are free and open to the public.

You don’t have to be a DPC member to attend, and are encouraged to bring a friend.

What You’ll Learn:

Whether you’re new to meditation, returning after a long break, or already have a steady practice you want to deepen, this class offers a fresh look at how and why meditation actually works—based on what’s happening in your brain and body. You’ll walk away with:

A down-to-earth explanation of how meditation changes your brain and supports your nervous system
Insight into different types of meditation—and how they affect you differently
Tips for choosing or refreshing a practice that fits your current needs, mood, and lifestyle
Inspiration to bring more ease, curiosity, and creativity into your existing meditation routine
A chance to hear from fellow meditators about what’s worked for them, and maybe even share what’s worked for you

This class is relaxed, practical, and perfect for anyone who wants to feel more grounded, present, and connected—no matter where you are on your meditation path.

Veronica Johnson is a dually licensed Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping people break free from a system that prioritizes profit over true healing—and reclaim their health naturally through holistic, root-cause healing.

At White Oak Medicine, Veronica blends allopathic and holistic practices to offer care that prioritizes nutrition, nervous system regulation, and patient-led healing—without pharmaceutical dependence. She believes that true wellness comes from addressing the whole person, not just managing symptoms.

Her approach is built on empowerment, education, and deep, meaningful care—helping individuals transition away from a system that prioritizes prescriptions over prevention and into a model that supports lasting health and well-being.
