We had the good fortune of connecting with Elisabeth Mack and Sherri Mack and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elisabeth Mack and Sherri Mack, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Holistic Caring, founded in 2015 by Elisabeth Mack, RN, BSN, BA, MBA, emerged as a result of her personal journey to heal herself from orthopedic issues that conventional pharmaceuticals failed to address. She built a private practice to guide patients through the complexities of the healthcare system and educate her fellow nurses to develop comprehensive training tools and resources.

The Green Nurse, established in 2015 by Sherri Tutkus, RN, BSN, experienced her own transformative healing journey with plant therapeutics. Overcoming a near-death experience, Sherri discovered hope and restoration through cannabinoids, leading her to create a practice dedicated to guiding patients and building a community of advanced nurses.

The strategic merging of Holistic Caring and The Green Nurse brings together the most comprehensive programs and services available to transform how we access, utilize, and understand medicinal cannabis to optimize health. The curriculum and programs reshape our thoughts on this plant – wrongly demonized for 100 years, inspiring you to learn the deep science on why these compounds nourish and restore us, tackling root causes of disease. You’ll learn the modern products available along with the pharmacology and protocols of how they work in the body.

The educational offerings are further complemented by necessary programming for healthcare professionals, empowering them to integrate this knowledge into their practice. By becoming part of this network, practitioners gain a competitive edge in Health 3.0 principles, combining the best from every category of healing to foster a holistic approach to patient care. You’ll learn how Cannabis 3.0 is in tandem, as massive industries are experiencing revolutionary changes.

Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse have created the ultimate destination for nurses and all practitioners seeking to enter the medicinal cannabis world. By enrolling in the Licensed Cannabis Health Coach Certificate Program or other courses, participating in masterminds, exploring the Green Nurse Approved marketplace, accessing wholesale CBD products, and receiving business-building guidance, healthcare professionals can embark on a transformative journey, while being mentored by industry leaders.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Each of us had storied careers in conventional hospital and healthcare management before discovering cannabis therapeutics. Since 2015 Sherri and Elisabeth doubled down on cannabis nursing & coaching, and in creating educational systems for patients and professionals to follow their lead to guide millions of new medical cannabis patients. Elisabeth wrote a book, Cannabis For Health: Become a Coach, which led to her programs and curriculum development.
Sherri counseled patients, mentored health professionals, and created her 4x award-winning Green Nurse Podcast.

Together they purchased Bloom Hemp to control the supply chain they offer to their patients. Elisabeth Mack, the new CEO of Bloom Hemp, expressed her enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “After years of vetting CBD brands and formulating products for others, we are excited to perfect the customer experience ourselves, ensuring high quality, safety, and value for exceptional patient care.”

Bloom Hemp boasts an extensive range of USDA Organic CBD products, including tinctures, extracts, capsules, gummies, creams, lotions, and purified isolates. Formulations are meticulously crafted to target specific symptoms and provide customers with natural healing compounds they can trust.

Bloom Hemp goes beyond delivering exceptional products – offering unmatched customer service and support. All customers benefit from Free Email Care Plans and a dedicated Nurse Line, staffed by trained Holistic Cannabis Nurses who can provide valuable insights into CBD’s effects on the body, discuss health goals, and help choose the most suitable products tailored to their specific needs are also available.

“We take pride in beginning as an independently owned and operated Hemp CBD company,” said Chief Nursing Officer Sherri Mack for Bloom Hemp. “With the acquisition, we remain a female and nurse-owned company that is committed to revolutionizing healthcare options, and offering a natural, alternative solution for our customers, providing them with much-needed relief.”

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
After spending 30 years in San Diego, Elisabeth now calls Palm Springs home. Elisabeth lured Sherri into making California home as well leading to their cannabis love story and marriage on 11/11/22
They now explore the Coachella Valley and surrounding areas for recreational fun including Joshua Tree, Palm Springs Tramway, and many restaurants in downtown Palm Springs. Our favorite Dispensary – Four Twenty Bank, features onsite consumption, pool tables, an arcade, live music, a glass shop, and plenty of shopping.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
We would like to give a big shoutout to the American Cannabis Nurses Association for their leadership in obtaining specialty recognition from the American Nurses Association for Cannabis Nursing. Elisabeth served as Treasurer from 2019-2023 and Sherri is now on the board serving until 2024. We would also like to thank the Grass Roots Cannabis Community in both San Diego and Boston for training, teaching, and inspiring us as we grew and developed our programs and services.
