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.

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 and 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, 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 counseling 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.

Let's start this transformative journey together!
