How The Barefoot Healers came to be.
The Barefoot Healers began on a beach in 2020. During the pandemic I walked barefoot along the Silver Coast with my dogs, and my friend Bo Lemm often joined me. We had both spent decades working with the human body in very different ways, and we talked about what conventional medicine kept missing, and what might be possible if the two approaches came together.
Those walks became The Barefoot Healers. Over six years Bo and I built courses, hundreds of resources and countless client journeys, and trained health coaches, always following the roots before the symptom. We learnt a great deal from each other, with plenty of laughter along the way.
In time life took us in different directions, Bo into her own work and into becoming a grandmother. The Barefoot Healers now continues as my own practice, and the vision ahead is a network: a trusted home for healers and therapists, and for the people who need them.
Health is something to be understood, supported and lived.
Every modality I offer serves one purpose: helping you understand yourself deeply enough that your health becomes something you steward, rather than something that happens to you.
For six years Bo Lemm was my partner in building The Barefoot Healers, bringing more than twenty years of herbal medicine, energy healing and aromatherapy. I remain endlessly grateful for everything we built together. Bo is the first practitioner in the growing Barefoot Network.
Jennie Lowes
I have been a Registered General Nurse for 27 years, with around 12 years of those in critical and acute care across vascular surgery, colorectal surgery and ICU. I am registered with the Ordem dos Enfermeiros in Portugal, hold a BSc in Nursing and an MA in Medical Ethics and Law, and trained as an Advanced Life Support Instructor and Critical Care Outreach Matron.
When my own health collapsed following a fluoroquinolone antibiotic injury and mould toxicity, I found that conventional medicine had the diagnosis but not the map forward. To understand what was happening in my own body, I trained further in nutrition, integrative health and medical astrology. Medical astrology has become my favourite tool to use with every client. A birth chart, I have found, can reveal patterns that years of appointments never surfaced.
I have also been a mentor for most of my career, to hundreds of nurses and, through the Barefoot Roadmap, to the health coaches we trained. Many of the practitioners who come to me now are gifted healers who doubt themselves, and helping them trust what they know is some of my favourite work.
I have a passion for autonomy in healthcare, and autonomy comes from understanding your own body and knowing why it does what it does. That shift changes everything, and it is the foundation of everything I offer.
Some people call me a health and healing wizard, and I rather like that.
Jennie on the Richie Allen Show.
I am a regular guest on the Richie Allen Show, one of the most listened-to independent media programmes in the UK and Ireland. These conversations cover the full range of my work: integrative health, medical astrology, the gaps in conventional medicine, and the conversations that matter.
One practice, two ways in.
The Barefoot Healers is my own practice, where I work with you one to one, and a growing network built on the same ethos: know thyself to heal thyself. It holds for everyone, including those who heal others.

My vision is to help as many people as possible, and that is bigger than one practitioner.
The principles that guide everything I do.
These are the beliefs that shape every programme, every consultation, and every piece of content I create.
I will always tell you why before I tell you what. Understanding your body, your constitution, your patterns and your timing is the healing itself.
I read blood tests and I read natal charts, and both are taken seriously here, without apology and without false hierarchy.
Bodies do not exist in isolation from minds, emotions, histories or environments. I do not treat symptoms in isolation. I look at the whole picture, because the whole picture changes everything.
I have spent around 12 years in critical care across a 27-year nursing career. I do not deal in fairy dust. What I offer is warm, rigorous, and firmly rooted in both clinical reality and lived experience.
I work alongside conventional medicine and support your relationship with your healthcare team. I am clear about what I do and what I do not do.
Every modality I offer, medical astrology, integrative health, nutrition and clinical care, serves one purpose: helping you understand yourself deeply enough to take the right action at the right time.
What people say when they find the right support.
Real people, real health journeys, and real outcomes when someone is finally seen as a whole person.
My medical astrology report is incredible. It is an amazing affirmation when you see it written down, a reflection of your own nature and how you function.
I had suffered a long and agonising period of ill health. Jennie's plan changed the way I live. My chronic pancreatitis has caused no more problems and I have gone from housebound to bike rides with my kids. No more medication, no more hospital visits, no more pain.
Jennie was spot on from the beginning with the approach for my daughter's serious health condition. The progress has been remarkable and even surprised the doctor. Jennie gave her the confidence to manage her illness independently.
