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.
