Inside Revive Wellness with Erin Gagne – Building a Practice That Feels Aligned, Effective, and Empowering

If you’re a clinician who’s ever felt disillusioned with the limitations of traditional healthcare—or questioned whether you could build a practice that fully aligns with your values—Erin Gagne, FNP-C has been there. Her story begins with a deeply personal journey: after being diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases, Erin realized that conventional medicine wasn’t giving her the whole picture. That realization didn’t just change how she approached her own health—it changed the trajectory of her entire career.

Today, as the founder of Revive Wellness in South Carolina, Erin runs a thriving practice rooted in functional medicine, patient education, and hormone optimization. Her success isn’t just about clinical outcomes—it’s about building a business that allows her to lead with integrity, live in alignment, and provide care that actually transforms lives.

For clinicians wondering if private practice is truly within reach, Erin’s story is a compelling example of what’s possible when you lead with vision and values.

Business Philosophy in Three Words: Integrity. Empowerment. Compassion.

“We always lead with integrity. Everything we do is about empowering people with education to take control of their health. And we lead with compassion to allow patients to feel truly seen and heard.”

What Sets Revive Apart

Innovative Edge:

• Advanced body composition analysis
• Customized peptide protocols for optimal hormone and immune support

Why It Matters:

“We use data to make decisions—it’s not guesswork. That way, patients see results and feel progress.”

Erin’s Turning Point

“When I really dove deep into hormone health, I realized the whole body is connected—including the mind. We cannot simply take a prescription and hope for true, lasting healing.”

This mind-body connection became a cornerstone of Erin’s clinical approach. At Revive, every treatment plan is personalized to address root causes, not just symptoms.

From Clinician to Business Owner: Erin’s Practice Journey

For clinicians considering the leap into private practice, Erin offers a grounded and empowering perspective:

“I started Revive Wellness because I knew I could offer something different—care that goes beyond prescriptions, where patients feel heard and empowered. But building your own practice is no small task. You have to get clear on your mission, set boundaries early, and be okay not pleasing everyone.”

She credits much of her growth to staying anchored in her values—and to being brave enough to build what she wished existed.

“I didn’t wait for perfect conditions. I started with what I had, refined as I went, and stayed focused on the kind of care I wanted to deliver.”

Erin also emphasizes the importance of aligning your clinical philosophy with your business structure:

“If you want to run a thriving practice, your operations need to reflect your care model. That means investing in tools, creating systems, and saying no when something doesn’t align.”

Changing the Conversation in Wellness

Erin isn’t interested in polarizing debates between conventional and functional medicine. She believes the future lies in the middle.

“We want to bridge the gap between the two types of healthcare. There is a blend that works. Our goal is to allow patients to feel seen and supported on both sides.”
