The ethos

The BarefootHealers.

What medicine forgot, I help you remember.

The thing medicine forgot is your own innate ability to heal, and my work is helping you remember it. Astrology is how I do that. Your birth chart is a map of your constitution: how you are made, where you are strong, where you tend to struggle and what brings you back into balance. With that understanding, and 27 years of nursing behind me, I help you support your body to do what it already knows how to do. Alongside my practice sits The Barefoot Network, a community for people on their own healing journeys and a hand picked directory of practitioners I trust.

A healer is someone who initiates belief in another person’s ability to heal, and gives it support.
What I mean by a healer

The body does the healing

I do not believe I heal anybody. The body does that, and mostly it is already doing its best. What I do is work on the conditions: take away some of what is in the way, add some of what is missing, and pay close enough attention that you start paying attention too.

Rigour and soul belong together

Checking how a recommendation sits alongside your prescription is the same impulse as the work itself, which is to take you seriously enough to get it right. I say only what is true, and I say when I do not know.

Healing is rarely done alone

I work alongside your doctor and the other people who care for you, never in place of them. I do not practise alone either, which is why the Network exists.

Small shifts in your thinking, and small changes in your energy, can lead to massive alterations of your end result.

About me

JennieLowes.

I am a UK trained registered nurse of 27 years, roughly half of that in critical care, an integrative health practitioner and a medical astrologer.

I live and work in Caldas da Rainha, on Portugal’s Silver Coast, and see clients online worldwide and in person in Portugal. Nursing taught me how the body works. Medical astrology and integrative health show me the person: your constitution, your patterns and what your body needs to stay well.

Heal thyself

Learnand grow.

It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world. Healing moves the same way. Each small change you make for yourself travels out to the people you love, and through them, further than you will ever see.
Jennie, after Edward Lorenz (1972)

What my clients say.

These are real turnarounds, in the words of people who came to me after years of struggling.

My services are educational and supportive. They do not diagnose, treat or replace professional medical advice. Medical astrology is observational; it identifies constitutional patterns and tendencies and does not predict illness. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for health concerns.
