With Jennie · Integrative Health & Medical Astrology

Your body has been
telling you something. This is how you learn to listen.

Most people who come to Jennie have already done the rounds. Tests, referrals, prescriptions, no real answers. She works from two maps, the clinical and the celestial, to find what neither approach reaches alone.

Who This Is For

If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place.

People come to Jennie from many different places. Some have been dismissed, told everything looks normal, and left to manage alone. Some simply want to understand themselves more deeply. Wherever you are, you are welcome here.

"I have been told everything is normal but I feel terrible."

The dismissed patient

"Nobody has joined the dots between all my symptoms."

Fragmented care

"I leave every appointment with a prescription and no answers."

Symptom management only

"I have tried everything and nothing works long-term."

Exhausted by the search

"I know my body and I know something is wrong."

Trusting her instincts

"I cannot keep living like this."

Ready for change

"Predisposition is not predestination. But you cannot change a pattern you have not yet seen."

Your Journey · Four Simple Steps

How working with Jennie actually works.

1
Step One
Book a Free Discovery Call

A 30 to 45 minute conversation. No forms, no pressure, no obligation. You tell Jennie where you are and what you have tried. She will tell you honestly whether she can help, and which option fits where you are now. Book your call →

2
Step Two
Submit Your Intake, Health History & Birth Data

Jennie sends a detailed intake form covering your full health history, current symptoms, medications, lifestyle, and goals. Any existing lab results or recent tests are reviewed alongside it. For any service involving medical astrology, she will also ask for your birth date, time, and place. If your birth time is unknown, the Medical Astrology Guide app includes a birth time rectification tool.

3
Step Three
Receive Your Personalised Plan

For a written reading, your constitutional health analysis is delivered within 7 days. For a programme, your first session is scheduled within the week and Jennie arrives with your natal chart cast, intake and labs reviewed, and a clear plan of action: integrative health protocols, dietary and supplement guidance, lifestyle adjustments, and the astrological context that informs the timing of it all.

4
Step Four
Ongoing Work & Unlimited Support

Regular 1:1 sessions, monthly transit updates so you know what is coming and how to work with it, repeat lab reviews to refine your protocols as your body responds, and unlimited direct messaging support between sessions. Nothing is fixed. Everything is adjusted based on what you are actually experiencing. Get started →

"The first call costs nothing. The only question is whether you are ready to understand what your body has been trying to tell you."

About Jennie

Registered Nurse.
Medical Astrologer.

☉ ♍ Sun in Virgo ☽ ♉ Moon in Taurus ASC ♏ Scorpio Rising

Registered Nurse since 1999. Twelve years in UK critical care. Medical Astrologer, Integrative Health Practitioner, and co-founder of The Barefoot Healers. I work from two maps: the clinical and the celestial. The result is a level of clarity that neither approach reaches alone.

"The body does not lie. It speaks in patterns. My job is to help you read them."

My own path was not straightforward. I battled unexplained symptoms, misdiagnoses, mould toxicity, gut dysfunction, adrenal burnout, and a level of exhaustion that no amount of sleep could touch. I ran functional medicine tests on myself, discovered a raft of issues the conventional system had missed entirely, and spent years rebuilding from the ground up.

I had studied astrology for years before I stumbled upon medical astrology and was immediately hooked. Here was a branch of the tradition that mapped the body, constitutional patterns, elemental tendencies: everything I had been observing clinically but could not fully articulate. Meanwhile, Bo introduced me to Reiki, and in 2020, during lockdown, we spent a great deal of time walking, talking, and grounding. Barefoot, often, with my dogs. That time changed something in both of us.

We wanted to build something we had both lacked at our own times of need. The Barefoot Healers was born from those walks. Everything we teach, we have lived.

My Journey into Trust, Connection, and the Unexpected Ways We Heal
The insights from over 27 years of nursing, a decade of integrative study, and her own personal healing path, distilled into the things she wishes she had known.
The Approach

Two maps. One whole picture.

Most people who come to Jennie have already tried the conventional route. They have had the tests, been told everything looks normal, and left with no real answers. Jennie works from two maps, the clinical and the celestial, to find what single-modality approaches consistently miss.

The ancient physicians on astrology and medicine

The basic meaning of the horoscope is that, by mapping out the positions of the planets… it gives a picture first of the psychic and then of the physical constitution of the individual.

Carl Gustav JungPsychiatrist & psychoanalyst, 1875–1961

No man ought to commit his life into the hands of that physician who is ignorant of astrology: because he is a physician of no value.

Nicholas CulpeperPhysician, herbalist & astrologer, 1616–1654

To the medical man, astrology is invaluable in diagnosing diseases and prescribing a remedy, for it reveals the hidden cause of all ailments.

Max HeindelAstrologer & medical astrology writer, 1865–1919
Common Questions

Medical astrology & integrative health, your questions answered.

What does a medical astrology reading with Jennie actually involve?+

Jennie begins with your natal chart, your constitutional blueprint from birth, which maps your elemental balance, planetary health signatures, and the patterns that recur across your health history. For the standalone written report, Jennie analyses your chart in depth and delivers a detailed constitutional health document within 7 days. For the report plus appointments option, the two 1:1 sessions allow you to explore the findings together and begin translating them into practical health steps. Read more: An Introduction to Medical Astrology.

What is a decumbiture chart, and is it relevant to me?+

A decumbiture chart is a classical medical astrology technique cast for the exact moment a person first falls ill, or if that is unknown, the moment they first seek help. It is one of the oldest diagnostic lenses in western medicine, used for centuries by physicians to understand the nature and likely trajectory of a health episode. Jennie uses it alongside the natal chart to gain a fuller picture of what is happening in the present.

What is integrative health, and how is it different from conventional medicine?+

Conventional medicine is excellent at identifying and managing disease states, and Jennie has over 27 years of experience within that system. Integrative health works differently, it looks at the whole person: their nutrition, nervous system regulation, sleep, environment, stress load, and constitutional tendencies. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, integrative health asks why those symptoms are present and what the body needs to restore itself. It works alongside conventional care, not instead of it.

Do I need to believe in astrology for this to be useful?+

No. Many of Jennie's clients come in as sceptics and find the constitutional analysis remarkably accurate regardless of whether they have any prior interest in astrology. Medical astrology is used as an observational and educational tool, it does not require belief, only an openness to see what patterns emerge. The chart works as a map of tendencies. What you do with that information is always your choice.

What is the difference between a standalone reading and a programme?+

A standalone reading gives you a deep constitutional picture: who you are, how your body functions, and the patterns most relevant to your health. It is complete in itself and many people find it genuinely transformative as a starting point. A programme goes further. Over 3 or 6 months, Jennie works with you directly, building a personalised integrative health strategy, tracking your progress, and combining clinical understanding with astrological insight in an ongoing, supported way.

Do you work with people outside Portugal?+

Yes. All of Jennie's 1:1 programme work and medical astrology readings are fully online, which means she works with clients worldwide. If you happen to be on Portugal's Silver Coast, in-person sessions are also available. View in-person services →

How long before I notice a difference?+

That depends on the complexity of your situation, how long it has been building, and how consistently you are able to apply the changes Jennie recommends. That said, most clients report noticeable shifts in energy, clarity, or symptom burden within the first four to six weeks. The 3-month programme is designed to produce real, measurable change. The 6-month programme allows for deeper, more lasting transformation.

Is this evidence-based, or is it purely alternative?+

Both. Jennie is a Registered General Nurse with 27 years of clinical experience, 12 of those in UK critical care. Her integrative health approach draws on functional medicine, nutritional therapy, and clinical assessment, all grounded in published research. Medical astrology sits alongside this as an observational framework with a 4,000-year history of clinical use. Jennie does not ask you to choose between the two. She uses both to build the fullest possible picture of what is happening in your body.

Do you work alongside my GP or specialist?+

Yes, and this is encouraged. Jennie's work is complementary to conventional medical care, not a replacement for it. She will never advise you to stop prescribed medication or disengage from your medical team. Many clients find that working with Jennie helps them arrive at appointments better informed and better able to advocate for themselves.

What if I have never done astrology before?+

Most of Jennie's clients come with no prior knowledge of astrology at all. You do not need to understand it, that is Jennie's job. Medical astrology is observational and educational. It identifies patterns, not predictions. Curiosity is the only requirement.

What is your refund policy?+

Written medical astrology readings are non-refundable once the report has been delivered, as the work is bespoke and begins immediately on receipt of your birth data. For programmes, the deposit secures your place and is non-refundable, but the remaining balance can be paused or transferred in exceptional circumstances. Please reach out before making any assumptions.
