About

Jeanne Hicks, APRN is the Premium Membership clinician at Humanaut Health Austin. Her path is unusually integrative: she studied Chinese herbology, earned a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from AOMA in Austin, practiced acupuncture, then completed her MSN at the University of Texas at Austin and became an Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist. At Humanaut, she supports the physician-directed Bond/Premium tier alongside Ernesto Navarro, MD, ABAARM.

What to Know

Signature approach

Hicks brings a dual Western and traditional-medicine lens to Premium care. She works with advanced biomarker panels, hormone balance, weight management, gut health, sleep, supplements, prescriptions, and lifestyle protocols while keeping an acute-care escalation sense from her nursing background. Her role is the day-to-day Premium clinician; Navarro supplies the physician-led oversight cadence for Bond members.

What sets them apart

  • Three clinical credentials. APRN, Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist, and Texas-licensed acupuncturist.
  • Integrative training came first. Chinese herbology and Oriental Medicine predate her nursing track, so the integrative lens is not an add-on.
  • Austin acute-care context. Her NPI profile lists St. David's Medical Center affiliation, adding a conventional-care safety floor.
  • Access-minded background. Her Austin Access Integrative Medicine work reflects a preventive-care and affordability mission before joining a premium clinic model.

Before You Book

  • Premium/Bond track. Hicks is tied to Austin Premium Memberships; Core members generally work with Heather Yoshimura, APRN.
  • Physician oversight. Bond is physician-directed by Ernesto Navarro, MD, ABAARM, with Hicks as the recurring APRN contact.
  • In-person care. Humanaut is not a telehealth-only service.
  • Separate acupuncture scope. Her LAc background is part of her training, but the Humanaut profile is about her APRN role.
