My Story

Why I built Waypoint Wellness.

Autonomous Practice FNP ACSM Exercise Physiologist 20+ Years in Healthcare

Hi, I'm Brandi Hartsfield, a Family Nurse Practitioner with an autonomous practice license, an ACSM-certified Exercise Physiologist, and the founder of Waypoint Wellness Direct Primary Care.

My 20-plus years in healthcare haven't been spent in one place. I've cared for patients in family practice, public health, urgent care, labor and delivery, and medical-surgical nursing. I've sat with families on the best days of their lives and some of the hardest, and I've seen what good care can do when there's enough time to actually give it.

I've also seen the other side. Over the years I watched appointments get shorter and more rushed, insurance take the driver's seat, and real people with real concerns get lost in a system that was never built around them. I knew care could feel more human than that, because I'd been part of the moments where it did.

That's why I created Waypoint Wellness. My background across so many parts of medicine means I can see the whole person in front of me, not just today's symptom. And my exercise physiology training shapes how I practice every day, helping you understand the role movement, nutrition, and lifestyle play in your health, because real progress happens between visits, too.

That training is what the letters ACSM stand for. The American College of Sports Medicine is the leading authority on exercise and health, and as an ACSM-certified Exercise Physiologist I'm specially trained in how movement affects your body. In plain terms, it means I can help you use exercise, nutrition, and everyday habits to prevent and manage conditions, not just treat them once they show up.

Waypoint Wellness is the practice I always wished my patients could have: more time, real access, and care built entirely around you and your life.

My Philosophy

What makes this different.

Relationship First

I keep my practice small on purpose. Every patient deserves a provider who knows them, not just their last visit.

Prevention Over Reaction

Real healthcare invests in keeping you well, not just treating you when something finally breaks.

Honest Communication

Clear answers, transparent pricing, and a provider you can actually reach when you have a question.

Shana M.Patient
I have had the privilege of working alongside her for about a year, and that experience has been incredibly meaningful to my growth as a nurse. The way she listens, educates, and connects with patients is something I deeply admire. She takes the time to listen not just to symptoms, but to concerns, questions, and fears, patients never feel rushed or like just another appointment. What I admire most is the way she always follows through, whether it is answering questions, checking on test results, or helping navigate a health concern. She has the knowledge and clinical judgment of a doctor, but the patience, compassion, and heart of a nurse. Anyone who becomes her patient will be incredibly fortunate to have her as their provider.
