INTEGRATED APPROACH
Addressing the physical. emotional, and environmental causes of symptoms
Jennie’s clinical work is based upon the principles of Psycho-Physiology and Behavioral Health combined with Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT). This integrated approach addresses the physical manifestations of emotional issues, connecting thought patterns and behavior with the presentation of symptoms. While some physical symptoms may have an obvious cause and effect (e.g. a fall or accident), many do not. Jennie’s approach seeks to address the “why” and not just the “what”. It places current symptoms within the framework of the individual’s emotional, familial, relational, socio-cultural, and environmental context - your story matters. Sessions available in-person or online.
PROCESS
Finding the root cause of physical symptoms
Emotions and thought processes produce both electrical and chemical signals in our brains that travel and have effects throughout the entire body - in simple terms sadness can produce tears, excitement can produce “butterflies”. These signals affect our nervous and immune systems, and are therefore deeply connected with the maintenance of our health. During our developmental years, our emotional boundaries directly affect the development of the immune system (the body’s defense mechanism) and can thus set up the patterns for our future health journey. Therefore, any physical challenges, such as pain or illness, need to be viewed through the lens of the individual’s current emotional context and personal history. This approach seeks to find the root cause of the issue, addresses the current symptoms with manual therapy techniques, and empowers individuals to regain control of their health through education on self-care strategies.
