Mobile Hydration: Nurse opens business

Continued from C12 hydrate.com, IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals and hydration directly to the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system so you get their full, nourishing effect.

The menu of services includes both infusions and injections to impact energy and performance, emergency migraine and headache relief, weight management, and immunity boosting.

Intravenous therapy is explained as using a small flexible straw-like catheter inserted into the arm to receive fluids, vitamins, and minerals.

Treatments may take 20 to 30 minutes.

Erdmann will be at Sparrows Salon and Spa initially 1-2 days each month, but the majority of appointments will be mobile. Erdmann has an in-home business license in Lynden as well as a Washington State business license.

“I’ve learned a lot about how taking care of your body and maintaining a healthy weight can really help your body fight off diseases and keep you feeling your best,” she said. “I started this so that people can get fluids, electrolytes, vitamins and minerals they are lacking without having to wait crazy hours in the emergency room and pay thousands of dollars to get an IV of fluids. They can feel their best and take care of themselves in the comfort of their own home or in a spa setting without having to go through insurance and the public healthcare system.”

Erdmann has a master’s degree in nursing education as well as a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She has been a registered nurse for more than 10 years. Since then she has worked in surgical services, PACU, nursing management and intermediate intensive care.
