In Jessie’s opinion, as a Natural Medicine practitioner she is merely a facilitator (and a cheerleader!) and you, the client, are able to achieve much more than just good health along the way. Health is a journey of self-awareness, courage, trust, integrity, compassion, empowerment and autonomy. It’s finding the strength to take responsibility for your own healing. This is when the magic happens!
Jessie is a Clinical Nutritionist that has a deep understanding of how the food we eat impacts our health and wellbeing. She believes that consistently meeting the body’s nutritional requirements with adequate wholefoods is fundamental in not only restoring good health, but to truly heal the body and thrive.
When people think of a nutritionist they think of a meal plan. Clinical Nutritionists however, practice Nutritional Medicine in a much greater sense. Jessie investigates a client’s case and how their body is functioning at a biochemical level. She views the body as a whole and therefore practices with a root cause approach to healing. To do so, Jessie uses a combination of dietary analysis, pathology, functional testing, and holistic assessment to investigate both acute and chronic health conditions. This involves exploring symptomatology and how the body systems are interacting but also lifestyle, stress tolerance, mental/emotional state, toxin exposure, health and medical history, living situation, support network, and values. This allows an incredibly individualized treatment plan to be created that is tailored to meet your personal needs, addressing healing at a much deeper level. Treatment plans comprise of dietary advice, lifestyle suggestions, and nutraceutical prescriptions.
