Integrative Health

What is Integrative Health?

Integrative Health and Medicine is a comprehensive approach to care that considers the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences that affect a person's health. Unlike traditional medicine, which often focuses primarily on treating symptoms, integrative health and medicine seeks to treat the whole person and to address the root causes of illness.

Holistic Approach

It considers all aspects of a person’s life, including physical health, mental wellness, emotional balance, social factors and spiritual well-being.

Patient-Centred Care

This approach prioritises the patient’s unique conditions, needs, and circumstances. It empowers patients to take an active role in their healthcare.

Combining Therapies

Integrative health often combines modern Western medical practices with alternative or complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, massage therapy, yoga, or herbal medicine.

Preventive Care

There is a strong focus on disease prevention and health promotion. This includes emphasising nutrition, lifestyle, and stress management as foundational to maintaining health.

Evidence-Based Practice

Treatments and therapies are chosen based on scientific evidence of their effectiveness and safety.

Personalised Treatments

Recognising that each person is unique, the treatment plans in integrative medicine are highly personalised. They are tailored to address the specific needs and conditions of the individual.

Emphasis on Therapeutic Relationships

There's a strong emphasis on building trust and a therapeutic alliance between the patient and healthcare provider.

Mind-Body Connection

Integrative health acknowledges and utilises the significant impact of the mind on physical health and vice versa.

Integrative health and medicine can be particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic illnesses, complex medical conditions, or those seeking to improve their overall health and wellness. It aims not just to treat illness but to improve life quality and overall well-being.

Meet Jennie

Your Intuitive & Holistic Integrative Health Coach

I'm Jennie, an empathetic guide with over 25 years in nursing, specialising in critical care, nutrition, gut health, hormone balance, stress management, energy balancing, and spiritual counseling. My journey through personal health challenges, including mold toxicity, SIBO, adrenal dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances, has deepened my understanding of the intricate nature of health. More recently I have added the art of Medical Astrology to my practice which has provided the missing piece of the jigsaw of health and wellbeing.

Together with Bo, we have developed the BAREFOOT approach after working with clients with a vast array of health complaints. This method was created to cover all aspects of health, healing and well-being, ensuring a holistic path to wellness that blends intuition with structured methodologies.

Everything is connected and we help you put together the pieces of your jigsaw.

The BAREFOOT Approach

Body Consciousness

Learn to decipher your body's subtle signals and responses. Through tools like journaling and symptom tracking, you'll cultivate a connection with your physical self. This empowers you to make well-informed health decisions and recognise imbalances at their onset, leading to proactive and personalised care.

Alternative Healing Remedies

Explore alternative healing remedies and how they might assist your journey. This ranges from the nurturing power of herbs to energy practices like Reiki and crystal healing. These methods work in synergy with your body's natural healing mechanisms, offering you a variety of options to support your wellness journey. A mantra of “take what resonates and leave what doesn’t”, is key.

Rest & Relaxation

Together we will discover strategies to elevate the quality of your rest, manage stress effectively, and embrace a lifestyle that rejuvenates your mind and body. By prioritising rest and relaxation, you'll experience enhanced mental clarity, improved mood, and overall better health.

Equilibrium

Learn and explore different techniques to harmonise your emotional and spiritual health to achieve equilibrium. Engaging in practices like meditation and mindfulness, we align your energies, fostering inner tranquility and a profound sense of well-being. This balance enhances your resilience and emotional stability.

Food as Medicine

Receive dietary advice based on your unique needs. Managing your diet can be your most potent ally in your health journey. Understanding the power of nutrition, you'll learn to use food to support your body's healing processes, boost energy levels, and improve overall health. This includes support and advice on any special diets that may be valuable such as an Elimination Diet, Low FODMAP, GAPS, Keto etc.

Optimal Digestion

Focus on digestion and explore ways to nurture your gut health. This includes personalised nutrition plans and lifestyle adjustments that support digestive health, which in turn enhances mental and emotional well-being. I am also able to order and interpret Functional Medicine Testing such as the GI Map to understand your unique microbiome.

One with Nature

Reconnect or strengthen your connection with the Earth and being one with nature. Engage in practices that reduce digital overload, enhance mental clarity, and resonate with your natural rhythm, promoting a life in harmony with the natural world, which supports both mental and physical health.

Toxic Load Reduction

Understand the importance of reducing your toxic load. Learn how to work on minimising exposure to toxins and enhance your body's detoxification processes, which is integral to long-term health and vitality. This may include considering heavy metal or mold detox or a parasite cleanse.

As an integrative health practitioner, medical astrologer, nurse, and spiritual counsellor, my toolkit includes using supplements, where indicated, such as medicinal mushrooms, vitamins, minerals, detoxification agents, herbal preparations, essential oils, energy healing techniques, personalised nutrition plans, mindfulness practices and more. I also employ biofeedback techniques, stress management strategies and holistic lifestyle counselling to support the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of each individual. No one person is the same and therefore advice is carefully tailored to each individual.
