In recent years, Jess has deepened her knowledge and expanded her treatment approaches in the areas of microbiome health and functional digestive disorders, including SIBO, IBS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and chronic constipation. She is a microbiome enthusiast and is literate in analyzing Gut Microbiome testing. Microbiome analysis has shown her how profound our gut microbes influence our health overall and especially influence inflammation, immune, digestive, hormonal and mental health . She is passionate about understanding how we can restore, balance and repair our gut ecosystems with diet, fibre, prebiotics and herbal medicine. 

She has a special interest in women’s endocrine health, particularly in endometriosis, PCOS, fertility, peri-menopause, menopause and vaginal microbiome health, as well as conditions involving immune and nervous system dys-regulation. She is deeply interested in these areas and committed to helping you understand, manage, and improve your health with a wholistic and informed framework.

A Commitment to wellness

With formal training in herbal medicine, complementary health sciences and process-oriented psychology, Jessika continues to expand her knowledge through  ongoing education and collaboration with other healthcare professionals. She is inspired by how traditional wisdom and healing methodologies can map onto a modern scientific understanding of health, reinforcing the power of wholistic practice. Seeing the profound, positive transformations that occur through this approach over the past two decades continues to fuel her passion for this work.
