Ozone IV Therapies for Vitality from the Inside Out

Sterling Wellness & NOVA IV Therapy are Coming Soon!

Our Story

Message from Cindy - August 25, 2025

To My Beloved Patients:

Recently it was announced that Sterling Family Practice (SFP) would be closing on September 19, 2025. I will continue to serve patients under SFP until that time. Starting September 22, 2025, patients will be transitioned to my new practice, Sterling Wellness. I am partnering with NOVA IV Therapy to continue to provide Ozone and IV medicine (Check out Areti’s story to learn more).

September 22 - November 5, 2025: Sterling Wellness will be temporarily located at the SFP office at 21135 Whitfield Pl # 107, Sterling, VA 20165. I will continue to see patients at the SFP office, providing all the same services that are available today, until my new office is ready to move into.

  • Please be assured that I’m still around and I’m making arrangements to transition to a new office right off of Route 7, just 1.5 miles from SFP.

  • The new office address will be provided as we get closer to opening.

Starting November 10, 2025: Sterling Wellness along with NOVA IV Therapy, will begin serving patients at our NEW office location.

I have served the Northern Virginia community for more than 30 years to provide quality primary care and functional medicine. I have learned a lot from my patients over the years and all the talented medical professionals I’ve worked with to bring my patients optimal health outcomes.

When SFP started providing Ozone and IV Infusions, Areti was one of our first patients. Her story is a testament to the power of functional medicine. She was one of our strongest advocates back then. And now her role has evolved into a supporting me in business management for Sterling Wellness, while I support her in medical operations for NOVA IV Therapy.

I’m excited for this new phase of my healing career and look forward to continuing to serve my patients.

To My Fellow Warriors:

About 10 years ago, I was in the fight of my life. I had neurological Lyme disease and all the treacherous symptoms that go with it. By the grace of God, I found Sterling Family Practice (SFP), which was the only medical establishment in Virginia that offered Ozone IV Therapy. Ozone saved my life.

It was at SFP that I met Cindy. Over the years, she treated me and my whole family, with Ozone, Myer’s Cocktails, Glutathione, and Vitamin C as part of our healing protocols. Those IV treatments supported us through Lyme, Flu, Covid, Arthritis flare-ups, and a myriad of other ailments. Suffice it to say, I’m a firm believer in Ozone and IV Therapy.

I’m not a doctor or any sort of medical practitioner. I’m simply a patient. And like all patients suffering with chronic disease, I evolved into a warrior for my own health, because that’s what you have to do to overcome the adversities of illness.

When I learned that SFP was closing it’s doors and that Ozone might become inaccessible to me and my loved ones, I activated. I decided to open an IV infusion treatment center, knowing that it could also help others, i.e. my fellow warriors facing similar struggles. This incredible mission is only made possible through partnership with Cindy, who agreed to be our director of medicine. And that’s how NOVA IV Therapy came to be!

Starting September 27, 2025: Cindy can begin onboarding patients to NOVA IV Therapy so their information is already on file when we open the doors to our new office on November 10, 2025. See FAQs below to learn more.

I’m deeply grateful that Sterling Wellness and NOVA IV Therapy are partnering to ensure continuity of patient care. I’m excited to have this opportunity to continue to make Ozone and IV Therapy available to our community in a functional medicine setting. I look forward to hearing your stories and being an advocate for your healing journey.

    If Base Protocols are combined or nutrients are “added on”, then the pricing is updated to reflect that some portion of the nutrients are an “Add-On”.
