Jessica Meyers, PA-C
Jessica Meyers spent years working as a Physician Assistant, but saw something missing in the mainstream approach in dealing with the ‘undiagnosable’ -the vague symptoms that leave you feeling less than vibrant but with no clear path to wellness. This led her to expand her knowledge through herbal and functional medicine in order to bridge that gap. Today, she helps clients to reset their health by addressing the root cause behind their struggles. With advanced herbal protocols and functional testing she serves as a concierge guide for elevating the mind, nurturing the gut, balancing hormones, and detoxifying the home and body.
