Meet Stacey Cooksey

Stacey Cooksey brings a wealth of expertise and experience, serving clients since 1996. Her journey began in St. Louis, where she received her nursing degree from the Missouri Baptist School of Nursing in 1996 and continued to advance her education at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, completing her BSN in 2001.

Stacey has battled for years with obesity, metabolic syndrome, thyroid disease, and multiple autoimmune diseases. After being fed up with a broken "sick model" of medicine, she became determined to get to the root cause of her health issues—to get well and stay well. This personal quest ignited the vision for Abiding in Wellness.

Stacey remains grounded and committed to providing passionate care to her clients. She is known for her down-to-earth demeanor and genuine empathy. She takes the time to listen to her clients' concerns and collaboratively develops personalized treatment plans tailored to each person's unique needs. Stacey believes in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and her holistic approach to medicine has earned her the trust and admiration of her clients.

Her practice is truly founded in faith, guiding every interaction, every decision, and every relationship built along the way.

  • "During my recovery, Stacey’s professionalism, knowledge, compassion, and attention to detail made me feel completely comfortable throughout my recovery. She took the time to explain everything clearly, stayed attentive to my needs, and genuinely cared about my well-being. Her kindness and patience made a stressful situation so much easier. I’m beyond grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend her to anyone needing any at home health or post-surgery support."

    -Chelsea S. 

  • “Stacey helped when my mother was dying in hospice, and as a daughter, I was in over my head. When she came in it was like the cavalry had arrived and she was able to get my mom comfortable and have a peaceful passing. “
