Dr. Penni Vachon, DNP, ANP-BC, APRN

Lowcountry Wellness Center, founded by Dr. Penni Vachon, APRN, is a Charleston-based integrative medical practice devoted to foundational, root-cause healing. Centered on the belief that true health comes from understanding the why behind symptoms, the practice offers personalized, relationship-focused care to help patients heal at the source—not just manage their diagnoses.

Dr. Vachon, APRN, a board-certified adult nurse practitioner, leads a dedicated team that includes Stella Shifrin-Tatesure, FNP-BC, and Allison Kinghorn, FNP-C, both family nurse practitioners with a shared passion for whole-person care. Together, they provide compassionate, unhurried healthcare rooted in curiosity, integrity, and clinical excellence.

Lowcountry Wellness Center specializes in complex, chronic conditions such as Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections, hormone imbalances, thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, gut health issues, and inflammation-related disorders. Many patients arrive at our doors after years of feeling unseen or misdiagnosed—and finally find a team willing to go deeper.

Our care is rooted in the principles of foundational medicine: we take time to listen, investigate, and connect the dots between symptoms, history, and labs. Each care plan is customized and may include advanced diagnostics, therapeutic nutrition, detox support, peptide therapy, lifestyle interventions, and targeted supplementation—designed to bring the body back into balance and restore natural resilience.

We operate under a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, which eliminates insurance interference and allows for longer visits, more personalized communication, and deeper continuity of care. This model creates space for authentic relationships and better outcomes—essential for those navigating chronic illness or pursuing long-term wellness.

What sets Lowcountry Wellness Center apart is our dedication to treating the person, not just the condition. We believe that healing is possible when providers take the time to truly know their patients, look beyond surface-level symptoms, and offer thoughtful, root-based guidance every step of the way.

Under the leadership of Dr. Penni, APRN, the center remains committed to evidence-informed care, ongoing clinical education, and a whole-person approach that blends the best of modern science with holistic insight. Every patient is seen, heard, and supported in their healing journey.

At Lowcountry Wellness Center, we help people find answers, feel empowered, and reconnect with their innate ability to heal. Whether you’re navigating unresolved chronic symptoms, looking to optimize your energy and vitality, or seeking a provider who will truly listen—our team is here to walk beside you.
