Welcome To Verve Health IN THE HEART OF VENTURA
To help you feel your best, inside and out.
We believe true wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s personal. That’s why our Nurse Practitioners take the time to listen, understand your story, and uncover the root causes behind your symptoms.
Through tailored, results-driven care—whether it’s hormone optimization, weight management, or longevity medicine—we’ll guide you toward lasting vitality. Our goal isn’t just to treat what’s going on today, but to help you thrive—physically, mentally, and emotionally—for years to come.
AT Verve Health, Our mission Is Simple:
After years in primary care, founders Andria Terrazas, NP-C and Dane Petersen, NP-C, HCC saw too many patients leaving their appointments feeling unheard and unseen. They wanted to change that.
With deep roots in Ventura County, they built Verve Health to bring time, compassion, and connection back into the care experience—creating a space where every patient feels truly supported and understood.
VERVE HEALTH BEGAN WITH A SIMPLE QUESTION:
What if healthcare felt personal again?
And that’s exactly what we hope to help you rediscover.
We chose this name because it reflects how we want you to feel: vibrant, balanced, and supported as you move through every stage of life.
At Verve Health, we’re here to guide you toward that sense of vitality—helping you feel grounded, confident, and full of verve again.
WHAT'S IN A NAme? Verve (pronounced “vurv”) means:
Energy, spirit, and enthusiasm for life
Andria Terrazas is a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner and co-founder of Verve Health, an integrative medical practice based in Ventura, California. With years of experience in primary care, she saw how traditional healthcare often left patients—especially women navigating hormonal changes—feeling unheard, rushed, or dismissed.
Motivated to create something different, Andria envisioned a space where patients could feel truly seen, supported, and understood. That vision became Verve Health—a practice built on compassion, connection, and evidence-based care designed around the individual.
As Clinical Director, Andria leads operations and specializes in hormone optimization, perimenopause and menopause care, thyroid and metabolic health, and weight management. She takes a deeply personalized approach, combining advanced medical insight with genuine empathy to craft care plans that go beyond lab results to treat the whole person. Known for her calm, grounded presence, Andria brings warmth and clarity to every patient relationship.
