Meet our Founder
Blair Blanchette
My name is Dr. Blair Blanchette, BSN, APRN, DNP. I’ve been a nurse for the past six years before obtaining my Doctorate of Nurse Practitioner degree. While I was practicing in clinics, I felt an overwhelming sense that something was missing in today’s healthcare space. I was underwhelmed by the traditional clinic structure and wanted to go deeper than a quick in-and-out appointment. I knew my patients deserved more resources, personalized support, and access to both conventional and alternative options. At Be Your Kind, my goal is to build a space where people feel truly cared for—where we prioritize education, long-term wellness, and a personalized approach to looking and feeling your best.
Community
At Be Your Kind, we believe in the power of numbers.
As the owner of Be Your Kind, my journey as a Nurse Practitioner is a direct reflection of my core values—integrating compassion, integrity, and intention into every aspect of care. I believe true wellness comes from creating balance—through mindset, sleep, nutrition, movement, and self-awareness.
Be Your Kind is more than a clinic—it’s a space where you can feel supported, seen, and empowered. A place to pause, reconnect with yourself, and lay the groundwork for a stronger body, mind, and spirit.
I believe in honoring individuality, embracing what makes each person unique, and helping others uncover their inner confidence. Being your kind is what sets you apart—and we’re here to support you in owning that fully.

Jess Stern
Meet Jess Stern, BSN RN. She has been a registered nurse since 2017, and is currently in a Family Nurse Practitioner Program. Her passion for health and wellness began in college while she was in her nursing program. Jess saw a lack of holistic health when she was in her clinical rotations. This changed her perspective on modern medicine and she now strives for a lifestyle that reflects a holistic approach with pillars that include mindset, heartset, healthset, and soulset. Jess believes if these pillars are taken into daily consideration, beauty will be achieved from the inside out.
