Experience:
Beginning in 1992 until 2002 Jeannette had a private practice helping clients heal from emotional trauma and guiding them in restoring health naturally with nutritional counseling, naturopathic hormone regulation, and a healthy change in lifestyle when necessary.
After being introduced to Sabre Sciences, Inc. (a salivary hormone testing laboratory) for personal use, she began to use the process with her clients. Because she was impressed with the effectiveness of the Sabre Science method she requested employment with the company in 2001.
She worked with Sabre Science as a consultant helping Medical Doctors, Alternative Health Care practitioners, and House Clients to understand the results of the salivary panels and recommended dietary changes, hormone support, and other suggestions that would aid the client in returning to a state of optimal health. She eventually began formulating custom transdermal crèmes based on the client’s lab report while at Sabre.
She worked with Sabre Sciences until December 2004, took a few months off for continuing education, then accepted a position with NRG Solutions, Inc. (www.nrgsolutions.net) in March of 2005 consulting with house clients explaining results of the salivary hormone test, comprehensive blood tests, and GI Panels with more flexibility in designing specific protocols.
She currently is in private practice sharing an office with like minded health professionals in Escondido, CA since February 2006, and conducting Seminars on IgG Food Sensitivities, and product training seminars for nutraMetrix™, a professional line of Nutriceuticals designed for rapid and complete absorption.
Personal Background:
In 1980 Jeannette became interested in actively practicing preventative health care during her father's struggle with cancer when he was only 55 years old. Her father’s illness and death was the mirror image of his father’s illness thirty years prior. After witnessing his death, she vowed not to carry on that legacy and set out to learn how to create and maintain vibrant health naturally.
Through training and personal experience, she learned the importance of the body's stress response and what can happen when it becomes overloaded with too much physical and emotional stress. Physical stress can come from an unhealthy lifestyle, poor diet, excess exercise or physical trauma to the body. Emotional stress can come from every avenue under the sun!
Since the year 2000, Jeannette's primary focus as been to address the effects stress has on the digestive tract, adrenal glands and sex hormones and putting these areas back into balance naturally by targeting specific organ systems while concurrently addressing stress hormone and steroid hormone imbalances.
Her primary mode of physical and emotional balancing is to strongly suggest permanent lifestyle changes, dietary changes specific to the individual based on their lab report, specific supplements tailored to their needs, and on occasion an emotional growth program.
“I never ask a client to do something I haven’t already done or am not willing to do myself. I very much practice what I preach. Yes, we all age, but we don’t have to speed up the process with unhealthy lifestyles. The body has an incredible ability to heal itself if given the opportunity and right tools to work with.”
“My clients also benefit from my years of experimenting with thousands of natural supplements and narrowing the field down to ones I have found to be both natural and effective.”
