Dr. Jamie Walraven

Medical Director

Dr. Jamie Walraven is the Lead Physician at Ageless Wellness Center. She created the practice to serve her patients holistically through functional medicine and aesthetics. Since the age of three, Dr. Walraven knew that she wanted to be a doctor. Her love of science and helping people fueled her path into medicine. She completed her Pre-Med requirements and earned her B.S. in Chemistry from Judson College. Proceeding on, she finished her M.D. at The University of Alabama School of Medicine. After graduation, she went on to serve our country for six years as an active duty army doctor, including deployments to Egypt and Iraq. In addition to her military duties, she also worked in emergency medicine. After a decade in emergency medicine, Jamie ventured into aesthetics and anti-aging, which eventually led her to functional medicine. Jamie passionately strives to get to the root of patients’ problems and help them find health solutions, which may have not been possible through traditional medicine. Helping patients achieve long-term wellness is deeply meaningful to her. She enjoys supporting patients in reaching their goals and restoring their confidence. In her free moments, Dr. Walraven loves to spend time with her boys and her friends, particularly cheering on the Yellow Jackets at Georgia Tech games. She also enjoys reading, riding horses, cooking, and doing art projects.

Linda Faulkner

Family Nurse Practitioner and Director of Operations

My earliest memory of my desire to be in the medical field was as a 3 year old listening to my Aunt Sarah’s stories as a recovery room nurse. I was fascinated with heart felt stories of the nurses and doctors reaching out to their patients in every way possible to heal their diseases and illnesses. Upon graduating from Fayette County High School in Fayetteville Georgia in 1980, I headed to Georgia Baptist School of Nursing in Atlanta Georgia. Graduating in 1983 as a registered nurse I pursued my passion for critical care nursing in ER and ICU/CCU. Leadership, growing my fellow colleagues, and yearning for autonomy lead me back to school for a Masters in Science degree at Ga. State University and certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 1997. My love for leadership, impeccable patient care combined with an entrepreneurial spirit landed me in a partnership in an urgent and primary care center. I crossed professional paths with Dr. Jamie Walraven who provided functional medicine to our primary care patients. I worked in the urgent care as a nurse practitioner and was Director of Operations and co-owner of the business. It is here that I saw the difference between traditional western medicine in treating symptoms of diseases with the concentration on “getting them in and out” vs functional medicine, getting to the root of the problem, that Dr Walraven practiced. I was amazed as she excavated the root cause of patients’ diseases and illnesses and brought them back to wellness. A mutual vision for patient centered, innovative, functional and regenerative medicine was merged. Two years later after much planning, prayer, passion and intention of purpose I had the privilege of partnering with Dr. Walraven in functional medicine in Ageless Wellness Center and in regenerative medicine in Stem Cell Center

Karen Sagon

Chief Financial Officer

Maya Angelou said it best, “People will forget what you do, people will forget what you said, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. Every day at Ageless Wellness Center, it is a privilege to see patients feel better when they leave our office.

It is such an honor my path has lead me to partner with two incredible health care providers, Dr. Jamie Walraven and Linda Faulkner, FNP-C. I think of my resume like steps in life. I graduated from Georgia Southern College in 1986 with a BS in Health and Physical Education and began my career as a teacher in the Fayette County School system. By 1995, I had obtained a Masters and Specialist Degree in Education from the University of West Georgia. I loved teaching and coaching for 19 years in my home town and very proud to be a voted a member of the Fayette County High School Hall of Fame in 2014. It has been a privilege watching young students grow into young adults with character, integrity and sportsmanship; items we stressed daily to our students and athletes, hoping it sticks with them as they develop into adults. Athletics gave me the platform to learn to do the right things in life. In 2004 I stepped out on a limb and became an entrepreneur, co-founding a real estate company and project management company. Morningside Realty was developed with 28 Realtors and later sold to a National Real Estate firm in 2010. My experience in real estate lead me to open my own company, Morningside Medical, where I worked in procuring real estate sites for medical practices as a licensed realtor, then planning and building facilities with owners and contractors. This lead to diverse opportunities for myself where I also worked as an independent contractor in urgent care centers as a project manager in marketing and operations. These experience landed me here today at Ageless Wellness Center with Dr. Walraven and Linda Faulkner. I am serving as a co-owner, Chief Financial Officer and Project Manager. What a pleasure it is each day to be part of this organization…no matter how well designed, it is only as good as the people who live and work in it.

Jen Nicosia

Licensed Medical Aesthetician

Hi, I am Jen Nicosia, a licensed aesthetician and laser practitioner here at Ageless Wellness Center. I was attracted to the environment that AWC has and all of the health and wellness benefits that take place in this office. Something unique about this practice is that when you work here, they want you to try all of the different treatments so that when clients have questions, you are truly speaking from experience. While trying different treatments at Ageless Wellness, I realized I was interested in becoming an aesthetic professional. Since completing my education, I have continued to gain knowledge by adding certifications to my repertoire. Prior to working at Ageless Wellness, I worked in the fitness industry. Something I loved about that field was seeing my clients' emotional transformations when they hit their fitness goals. Now that I work in aesthetics, I get that same satisfaction. I can help my clients feel better in their own skin and meet their skincare needs. Come see me at Ageless Wellness Center to start your healthy skin journey today!

Altheia Bass-Seldon

Doctor of Nurse Practitioner

I am a board-certified family nurse practitioner in the states of Georgia and New York. I obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Troy University in Troy, Alabama. I then pursued a further interest in nursing, receiving my Doctoral Nursing degree from Troy University and graduating with honors. In my nursing career, spanning close to 30 years, I have worked in several subspecialties including primary care, urgent care, oncology, neurology, and functional medicine. My desire to practice in the medical field began around the age of ten. This desire grew stronger when my father experienced a sudden brain aneurysm, in which he underwent a craniotomy. The daily visits to the hospital fascinated me as I watched the medical team do what they do best in providing the care my father needed to survive this urgent, life-threatening illness. I am an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the Georgia Nurses Association. I am also a published author in medical research. My primary focus in caring for my patients centers on prevention and getting to the root cause of illnesses rather than simply covering them up with a band-aid. With a gentle and focused bedside manner, I am compassionate and attentive to my patients’ needs. As an advocate, I hear what my patients say and actively listen and help them achieve the best plan for their immediate and long-term healthcare needs.

Crystin Gulledge

Physicians Assistant

Crystin feels most at home when riding around on a golf cart. She grew up in Peachtree City and spent much of her time on the cart paths, only occasionally getting lost. Shortly after getting married, she moved down to the coast of Alabama and enjoyed time on the beach. She has since returned to live locally with her husband and son. Crystin finds the most joy in watching her son grow, learn, and interact with their family dog. She enjoys cooking, crafting, and spending time with her family. She has also become skilled at reading children's books very quickly before her toddler becomes bored and runs away. On days Crystin is not working, she is often trying out a new recipe, in the yard chasing her son, or eating out with family and friends. Crystin is involved in her church congregation with teaching children's bible classes and helping her husband who is the Involvement Minister. She also loves to travel and spend time "glamping" with her family in their camper. With a background in emergency medicine, which was enjoyable and exciting, Crystin felt the urge to be able to help her patients on a more holistic level. She desired to have the time and resources to sit down with patients and get to know them and their struggles. She enjoys helping patients find sustainable ways to improve their health with lifestyle changes. Crystin believes food and prayer are the best medicine. She also enjoys performing procedures where she can work with her hands such as aesthetics and hormone pellets. She is thankful for the opportunity to work at Ageless Wellness center where these can both be achieved.
