The Barefoot Healers

Healing begins
with knowing yourself.

Most people who find us have already tried. The appointments, the referrals, the protocol that helped a little but never enough. Not because they didn't try hard enough — but because nobody looked at the whole picture. That is where we start.

From Jennie

"I have been in that fog myself. The unexplained symptoms, the misdiagnoses, the emotional weight of not feeling heard. That is why this work is not just about protocols — it is about clarity, connection, and understanding the whole person."

Our Philosophy

The whole picture
changes everything.

Most people arrive here having tried things that helped a little — but never enough. Not because those things were wrong, but because they were working on one piece of a much larger picture. The body doesn't speak in isolated symptoms. It speaks in patterns, in constitutions, in rhythms that run deeper than any single protocol can reach.

Health is not something to be fixed. It is something to be understood, supported, and lived.

That is what we offer: the full picture. Clinical rigour and ancient wisdom, working as one.

The BAREFOOT Framework

Eight pillars underpin everything we teach and every programme we offer. Together, they form a complete map of whole-person health.

B
Body Consciousness
Listening to your body's deepest signals
A
Alternative Remedies
Herbs, energy medicine, ancestral healing
R
Rest & Relaxation
Sleep, nervous system, restoration
E
Equilibrium
Emotional, mental, physical, spiritual balance
F
Food as Medicine
Nourishment for your constitution
O
Optimal Digestion
Gut health as the foundation
O
One with Nature
Grounding, cycles, earth connection
T
Toxin Reduction
Physical, emotional, environmental

The Practitioners

Two disciplines.
One approach.

Jennie and Bo bring together the clinical and the botanical, the evidence-based and the ancient. Different lenses, held by two people who trust each other deeply and share the same conviction: that the body already knows what it needs.

Integrative Health & Medical Astrology

Jennie Lowes

Registered Nurse, Integrative Health Coach, Medical Astrologer

Jennie spent 27 years as a Registered Nurse — from vascular surgery to Critical Care Outreach Matron — before her own health collapsed. Mold toxicity, adrenal dysfunction, a medication injury that took her from competing in CrossFit to barely making her bed. She investigated everything, rebuilt herself from the ground up, and became the practitioner she had needed. She does not treat symptoms in isolation. She looks for the pattern underneath.

  • Registered Nurse, 25+ years clinical experience
  • Integrative Health Coach (IPHM-accredited)
  • Medical Astrologer, classical tradition
  • Functional Nutrition & Spiritual Counselling
  • Medical Ethics & Law

Three Pathways

One destination: yourself.

Every person who comes to us arrives from a different place. Click any pathway to explore what it includes.

Find Your Path

Not sure where to begin?

Answer four questions and we will point you towards what is genuinely right for you.

Where are you right now?

Choose the one that feels most true.

Something is unresolved
Persistent symptoms or challenges that conventional approaches haven't fully addressed.
Out of balance
I feel off — physically, emotionally, or energetically — but struggle to name exactly where.
Seeking deeper understanding
I want to understand myself more fully, not just manage symptoms.
Ready to help others heal
I want to train, qualify, and bring this work into my own practice.

What calls to you most?

You can be drawn to more than one — choose the strongest pull.

The stars and your natal chart
Medical astrology, constitutional blueprint, the celestial patterns written into your birth.
Plants and herbal medicine
The intelligence of nature. Herbs, Ayurveda, TCM traditions, botanical healing.
Energy and subtle healing
Reiki, energy medicine, the body's field. Healing that moves beyond the physical.
Clinical and integrative health
Root cause, functional nutrition, evidence-based whole-person health practice.

How do you want to work?

Think about what genuinely suits you, not what you think you should choose.

1:1 with a practitioner
Personal, guided support. I want someone working alongside me.
Self-led learning
I want a structured programme I can move through at my own pace.
In person on the Silver Coast
I am in Portugal or planning to visit. I want hands-on, face-to-face sessions.
A comprehensive deep dive
I want everything — multiple modalities, both practitioners, the full picture.

What feels like the right first step?

There is no wrong answer here.

A free discovery call
I want to talk it through before committing to anything.
Something I can explore in my own time
A report, a reading, or the free app — I want to start privately.
I am ready to begin now
Show me the programme. I have done enough thinking.
I want to see all the options
Let me browse everything and decide for myself.

Ready to Begin?

You don't need to have it
all figured out.

A free discovery call is exactly that — a conversation. No pressure, no obligation. Just fifteen minutes to understand where you are and whether what we offer is genuinely right for you.

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