OUR PHILOSOPHY:
LISTEN
Your story and history is important. It is critical in helping us understand what has happened to your body over your lifetime.
IDENTIFY
Our trained eyes, hands, and brains quickly identify the structures and systems within your body that are not functioning optimally.
PROBLEM SOLVE
We relate these findings to your history and current complaints to understand the deeper causes of your health concerns.
RESTORE
Our trained hands precisely restore structures that have lost optimal mobility and function and integrate them into the whole.
To prepare your body for the clinic, we recommend completion of our Foundations Program prior to your first visit.
We offer complimentary phone consultations to discuss your case and to provide an opportunity for you to learn more about our process in the clinic.
*This is required for all new patients.*
Foundations for Functional Health Online Learning and Coaching Programs
Even the best treatment plans can fail or take a long time if you aren’t addressing your health at home.
Most chronic illness, injuries and pain can be prevented, significant reduced and in some cases eliminated when we invest our time and resources into knowing how to take care of our bodies.
Our online, transformational courses teach you the basics of how to decrease inflammation, improve nutrition, improve detoxification, improve your ability to manage stress, and how incorporate exercise to improve overall strength and mobility.
Skilled coaching opportunities further help you be accountable and fully integrate these skills for a lifetime.

SUCCESSES
“Jen,
I am thrilled to share my experience at the Shepherd Center for Integrative Health. My life has been a series of accidents, falls and bizarre health events. My body has suffered both mental and physical trauma impacting my daily life. By taking the time to do a very thorough history, Jen has helped me work through these traumatic events, “unpacking” them, figuring out how to support my “whole” body so I can heal and get back to living. Her positive attitude, intuition, background, extensive training and true desire to improve lives has changed my life. I appreciate her proactive approach to improving my life both mentally and physically. She has used a variety of techniques, and given me the tools I need to continue to heal and move forward to an improved state of health. In January, with Jen’s support, I worked through “The Power Of Food” program. It has literally changed my life! Through food elimination and gradual re-introduction, I lost weight, cleared up skin issues, significantly reduced my IBS symptoms, reduced headaches and allergy symptoms and reduced pain in my muscles and joints. I recently had a visit with my hematologist and he was thrilled with my overall health and was happy to see all my autoimmune blood results yielded the best numbers ever, over the last 10 years! I finally found a good relationship with food, exercise and stress with Jen’s help both in the clinic and through the programs she teaches on-line. Thanks Jen!! I wish I would have meet you 30 years ago!”
