Barbie Brunet, FNP-C, a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with Grace Wellness Center

Get to know Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Barbie Brunet, who serves patients in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Being a certified family nurse practitioner, Barbie’s areas of expertise include primary care, women’s health, and nutritional counseling, with special certifications in Botox, fillers, IV therapy, and platelet-rich plasma therapy. She is the owner & operator of Grace Wellness Center in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Investing herself in making sure everyone is taken care of, Barbie treats patients all the way from newborn and up. She is determined to help them understand their own health so that they can be well-informed when making important health decisions.

The mission of Grace Wellness Center is to provide the highest standard of care in a therapeutic environment to all ages across the lifespan, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, primary language, or socioeconomic status. Barbie and her staff offer medical and holistic therapies to promote the highest quality of life possible by offering truly patient-centered care. They believe at Grace Wellness Center that health is achieved through the embodiment of cura personalis, a Latin phrase that translates to “caring for the whole person” instead of defining a person by their diagnosis.

Born in Fort Lauderdale and raised in Port Saint Lucie, Barbie went to South University where she graduated with her Master of Science in Nursing degree (Family Nurse Practitioner Program). After graduation, she started working in a pediatric office where she found her passion for taking care of children. Since 2013, she has been practicing in South Florida, treating entire families at her private practice. 

Certified through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, she holds certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic Life Support (BLS – not intended for postnominal use), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). 

A Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) is an advanced practice registered nurse who holds certification and works autonomously or in collaboration with other healthcare professionals, to deliver family-focused care. Given the rather broad nature of the “family” patient population focus, FNPs offer a wide range of healthcare services that revolve around the family unit; from health promotion and disease prevention to direct care and counseling across the lifespan.

On a more personal note, Barbie is fluent in both English and Spanish.
