She had an exciting summer on a salmon processing boat in Alaska at age 19 that ended in a closed head injury, and the lengthy recovery set her in motion to enter the health field. Starting at Greenfield Community College, she found her love of learning, then got her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from UMass Amherst. She got her Master’s in Nursing from Boston College and worked as a Family Nurse Practitioner on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Wolf Point, Montana for five years. Jessica loves the blending of science and education that is being a nurse practitioner, working with individuals and families, meeting people where they are, and empowering them to understand and improve their health. After ten years in Primary Care, she found Functional Medicine, became an IFMCP (Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner) in 2018, and found her passion in complex, chronic inflammatory illness. With a drive to treat and prevent the suffering associated with such inflammatory illness, she and Micaela co-founded Origins Collaborative Care PLLC in 2021. Jessica lives with her daughter in Amherst, and enjoys music, road trips and gardening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/e41a1f4e-ecf1-4f4f-8fbe-46b3be106136/Mic+daffodils+cropped%2C+no+barn.jpg The OCC Team - CO-FOUNDER DIRECTOR OF MIND-BODY EDUCATION AND HEALING Micaela Giles Micaela is a New England native who spent most of her life in Connecticut before moving to the Connecticut River Valley in 2009. Even before moving into mind-body work, Micaela’s interests have always been heart-centered and people oriented. As OCC’s Co-Founder and Director of Mind-Body Education and Healing, Micaela brings nearly 15 years of highly specialized education, training, and certifications in the fields of energy healing, somatic movement, complex and developmental trauma, Polyvagal Theory, the autonomic nervous system, expressive arts therapy, neuroscience, Ancient Wisdom Traditions, bodywork, and mindfulness/meditation. Micaela’s training includes SomaSoul Body-Centered Gestalt Psychotherapy, Shake Your Soul Yoga of Dance Teacher Training, 200-Hour Embodyoga Teacher Training, Yin Yoga study with Paul Grilley, Trauma Sensitive Yoga with Bessel van der Kolk, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Reiki II Advanced Certification with John Harvey Gray, and as well as being a Certified Medical Intuitive. Micaela is also a Certified Safe and Sound Protocol Practitioner (including advanced certification for Remote SSP Delivery), and recently completed a Connection Masterclass through The Academy of Applied Social Medicine, having earned a Certification as a Technical Curator on the Restorative Practices Deep Learning Platform. In 2008, Micaela became a trained Hospice volunteer, an experience of great privilege that continues to influence the care she provides to everyone she works with. Additionally, Micaela is a trained bodyworker, having completed her coursework to become a Licensed Massage Therapist at The Massage School in Easthampton. However the pandemic made it unsafe for her to complete the required clinical hours. This turned out to be a fortuitous blessing, as it opened a path for the birth of Origins Collaborative Care! Yet, Micaela considers her most invaluable learning to be her own hard-won experience as she charted a course of healing from severe, complex chronic illness (and all the many associated losses — personal, relational, financial, and beyond). On a mission to save her life, she eventually discovered a pathway of healing that transformed her health and her life in ways she only dreamed possible. Her drive to help others experience this kind of healing, too, was the impetus for creating Origins Collaborative Care with Jessica Jimison in 2021. This well-rounded synergy of an experienced IFM-trained Functional Medicine provider combined with the deeply informed perspective of a gifted healer who has personally walked this path of suffering informs absolutely everything we do. Micaela weaves her profound personal experience, expansive formal education, and an exhaustive amount of informal research, into a unique and powerful approach that is deeply intuitive and responsive to the needs of those she cares for. Micaela lives in Easthampton, MA with four adorable pets. She loves Mother Nature, RI beaches, camping, music, dancing, learning, laughing, cooking for others, and being a mom to her two hilariously funny adult children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/1644509880727-93RGU7Y6TV2V4V3GO43Q/CAD%2BHeadshots%2Bcopy%2B2%2B%25281%2529.jpg The OCC Team - DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY AND RESEARCH CERTIFIED HEARTMATH MENTOR MEMBER LIAISON Christene DeJong MA, MA Christene grew up outside of Boston and lived in Venezuela, California, and New Jersey before happily returning to Massachusetts and settling in Amherst with her family in 2013. After years of struggling with deteriorating health and mysterious symptoms, she began her journey to wellness with Jessica in 2018 and knows firsthand the power of nervous system regulation as a key to unlocking healing. Excited to share this knowledge with others, she co-led a resilience group from 2019-2020 to share and practice modalities grounded in Polyvagal Theory. Passionate about documenting and disseminating OCC’s model of care within the scientific community, Christene joins OCC as the Director of Strategy and Research. She brings over 15 years of expertise conceptualizing, designing, and managing complex research studies in the fields of sociology, public health, and higher education. Her research leverages qualitative and quantitative methodologies and has focused on healthcare delivery, health disparities, racial and gender inequalities, college student experience, and grassroots social movements. Building on her own HeartMath practice and years of facilitating groups, Christene also joins OCC’s Mind-Body team as our certified HeartMath Mentor to bring HeartMath to our members through individual and group sessions. Outside of work, Christene devotes her time to climate activism, gardening, playing cello, hiking, and relaxing with family and friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/93f4b89e-5dc6-4d66-82b3-6fa2ccde4b6f/Ellen+Marcelo+haircut+and+TJ+Apr+2022.jpg The OCC Team - CLINICAL, TECH, & ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Ellen Marcelo RN, BSN Ellen grew up in Tarlac, Philippines and went to Tarlac State University to receive her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2009. She is a Registered Nurse in the Philippines, and has worked as a Rural Nurse and a Floor Nurse, as well as a Home Care Nurse in the United Arab Emirates. Ellen also has a lot of experience in sales and marketing, including an interest in nutritional supplements. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Ellen sought a remote position to keep her family safe, and felt blessed to join Jessica’s Functional Medicine Team as a remote scribe in 2020. Ellen immediately proved herself to be a quick study in the Functional Medicine field and talented in all things tech, so she is indispensable as an all-around clinical, tech, and administrative assistant at Origins Collaborative Care! Ellen and her husband Marlon have chosen to stay in the Philippines to start their family, and welcomed their first child, Theodore John, in January, 2022!

We’re biologically hardwired to require the support and acceptance of a “tribe” in order to survive. In our moden culture, that need for belonging is so often breached, but this is especially so when we experience long term, poorly understood health conditions. Our support systems are strained, we isolate more as we struggle to keep up and have to choose between competing needs. As this isolation intensifies, the autonomic nervous system’s state of protection intensifies, too, which inhibits our physiological capacity for healing and repair. OCC’s groups provide the framework for the relational safety necessary to shift back into a state where health, growth and restoration in the body finally take hold. https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/research daily 0.75 2022-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/5f8ffe61-868f-48d5-944a-8878dafc3059/FM+Circle+4-14-22.png Research - We believe so strongly in the potency of our model and its potential for powerful healing, that we want to systematically document and report its efficacy within the scientific community — so that our model becomes the standard of care. We’re different. https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/for-clinicians daily 0.75 2022-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/6855bd76-b75d-47c4-9621-f98174fd5613/neural+pathways.jpg For Clinicians - OCC’s Functional Medicine approach prioritizes regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Polyvagal Theory explains the physiologic impacts of chronic stress, developmental trauma, and social determinants of health; immune systems are dysregulated away from healing because the ANS is in a state of protection. We work with people one-on-one and in small groups to foster social connection and relational safety, which lays the groundwork to bring the immune system back online for health, growth, and restoration via regulation of the ANS. This foundation optimizes the effectiveness of our Functional Medicine interventions for improving heart rate variability, nutritional status, mitochondrial efficiency, elimination patterns, intestinal microbial diversity, healthy sleep, and exercise tolerance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/1650203621393-PMADA1OI1MD3F9JEADLG/unsplash-image-c_o2lRzWI08.jpg For Clinicians - Our patients have histories of poorly understood symptoms and either no diagnosis or a multitude of diagnoses. Recent research suggests that many of these patients have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) (either primary or secondary) or Mast Cell Disease (MSD) as an underlying factor that creates an environment of chronic inflammation. Typically, these patients complain of symptoms in multiple organ systems (often including anxiety and/or depressive patterns) and have sought care in a variety of disciplines, which is consistent with an MCAS presentation. (Afrin, LB, Never Bet Against Occam: Mast Cell Activation Disease and the Modern Epidemics of Chronic Illness and Medical Complexity, 2016) These challenging patients often respond unusually to treatment attempts; their reactions can be paradoxical, they can have no response at all, or they don’t tolerate even low doses of medications. Until their mast cell membranes are stabilized, they often cannot tolerate the treatments they need. We work with patients to stabilize the mast cell membranes via autonomic nervous system regulation as well as dietary, supplement, and medication interventions. https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/faqs daily 0.75 2026-02-26 https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/five-phases-of-healing daily 0.75 2022-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/21b39e24-3842-49b4-b105-fd7d06d82fb3/12+month+flow+%2817%29.png Five Phases of Healing https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/member-testimonials daily 0.75 2022-05-25 https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/ssp daily 0.75 2022-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg SSP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg SSP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg SSP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/360e1f0f-bf80-4e8f-b7fc-df67aeab1a9c/SSP+listening+asian+woman.jpg SSP - Paving the pathways of lasting health: How Does It Work? The SSP allows for the repatterning of neural networks and improved regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) for lasting change. The SSP trains the middle ear muscles (innervated by the vagus) to tune-in to cues of safety signaled by the frequencies of human voice, which stimulates the social engagement system through the neural network associated with listening. https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/restoring daily 0.75 2024-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Restoring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Restoring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Restoring https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/mind-body-sessions daily 0.75 2022-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/788317bd-ce25-4b1d-a64e-ad87e30f574f/Mic+glasses.PNG Mind Body Sessions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/heartmath daily 0.75 2023-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/3a1df850-6eea-4784-a20c-458224a118e1/HeartMath.png HeartMath - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/0a960a83-09fe-41f9-9c07-bd03976cafff/HeartMath+Coherence+Graph.jpeg https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/fm-appointments daily 0.75 2022-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/5a2c9c60-1383-44ab-9edf-24d8a928d6d4/Jess+headshot.jpg FM Appointments - Jessica Jimison, FNP-C, IFMCP OCC’s Co-Founder and Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, Jessica Jimison, has a strong allopathic foundation and brings a rigorous, science-minded skepticism to everything she does. This, combined with her inquisitive, compassionate, open mind is what’s motivated her to dig deeper and explore pathologies that are often overlooked or poorly understood by others in her field. Functional Medicine has been dubbed “root cause medicine.” However, at OCC we have broadened the aperture on root cause. After years of offering the highest quality Functional Medicine interventions to her patients, it became clear to Jessica that there was something missing — something that all of her allopathic and in-depth Functional Medicine training and experience was failing to address. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/5351845d-66aa-45b4-ad06-f191c918965f/cabbage+with+dew+drops.jpg FM Appointments - Layers of a cabbage … People describe Functional Medicine as removing layers of an onion. But the amazing human body is far more complicated than onion layers. To simplify it in that way leads people to believe that there’s always an obvious next step. I much prefer to think about our detective work as cabbage layers: we can see that there’s a problem, but figuring out what must be done in order to safely and effectively eliminate it will involve a bit of finesse, and is likely to reveal other issues need to then be addressed. We’ll get there, but we’ll likely unearth some obstacles along the way. The knowledge you gain about the workings of the human body during the Foundations of Health Program will help us navigate your unique cabbage layers in our individual Functional Medicine Visits — making you an educated partner in the investigation and implementation of your treatment plan! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/a47dbdf4-f8fb-4ad5-97ef-c08c8dd11945/IMG_1133.jpg FM Appointments - Make it stand out Jess and her daughter, Linden https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/foundations-of-health daily 0.75 2024-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Foundations of Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Foundations of Health https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/open-office-hours daily 0.75 2022-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/d4b21e85-151b-4772-93da-8b88fb09969e/hands+group+connection.jpg Open Office Hours “I like coming to Open Office Hours because I always learn something I didn’t know I needed to know.” —Betsy A. https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/gimap daily 0.75 2022-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/e5bf2633-eace-46bd-a78f-64a1fea71c25/Gi+Tract+.png GI-MAP - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/5414101d-4a9c-4418-9faa-4008ca1cf62d/CI-MAP.jpeg GI-MAP Click image for detailed info about GI-MAP from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/intake-appointment daily 0.75 2022-05-04 https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/member-hub-home daily 0.75 2022-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Member Hub Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Member Hub Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Member Hub Home https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/our-values daily 0.75 2024-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/1651630638025-MUMKGFOEYWCCOCKDKCQI/IMG-9219.JPG OCC's Values https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/1651630776350-1QBL8J6DC9RG04EIUJ87/IMG-4954.jpg OCC's Values https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/1651631375432-WY64BDEBXY38K7Y9H4WR/joanna-swan-8qeuXhMnXjw-unsplash.jpg OCC's Values https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/supplements daily 0.75 2022-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/c3b76520-1804-4f10-9d4a-7fe595880325/Jess+garden.jpg Supplements Our Supplement Philosophy It's not necessary to use nutritional supplements on the journey to wellness. Our bodies have the wisdom to know how to heal when given the right context. However, most of our bodies have been stressed by nutritional deficiencies, surpluses, chemical exposures (in foods and the environment), and many of us have had our inborn detoxification systems slowed by a perfect storm of exposure and depletion. For these reasons, many notice that their bodies respond much more quickly when they use the right combination of supplements as recommended by Jessica. We extend a 20% discount to all of our dedicated OCC Members. We strongly recommend you avoid large, online warehouse companies as they do not take care to ensure that their products maintain the high quality standards followed by the companies we work with, and in some cases, expired or counterfeit supplements are being sold by third party sellers. Please be careful about what you put into your bodies. Part of Jessica's education has focused on identifying high quality supplements that are effective for the purpose she prescribes. She always looks for the most cost-effective option that will accomplish the desired goal. https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/medical-records daily 0.75 2022-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Administrative Forms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Administrative Forms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Administrative Forms https://www.originscollaborativecare.com/additional-resources daily 0.75 2022-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/1651693174539-UBJ8KSV305YOB9U63V2F/unsplash-image-WjqfbMl4nRU.jpg Additional Resources - Book Recommendations Never Bet Against Occam: Mast Cell Activation Disease and the Modern Epidemics of Chronic Illness and Medical Complexity, by Lawrence B.

Our physiology is not compatible with our modern-day environment, physically or socially. Modern medicine has become very skilled at preventing death, yet chronic illness is on the rise because no amount of technological advancement can restore balance to an organism whose most primitive needs for safety and connection (defined below) are not being met. Achieving true and lasting health requires that we understand and honor the needs of our most primitive biology, so that our capacity for health, growth and restoration can be reclaimed. Navigating your way through chronic illness means understanding the Origins of wellness. Let OCC show you the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/85720f12-50e1-49cd-8a97-e8ba065f0145/CT+river+sunset+2.jpg (r)Evolutionizing Healthcare at its Origins - Our mission is both individual and global.

Here’s how. What researchers have long understood, and healthcare has failed to acknowledge or include in the care model, is that having a flexible, resilient, regulated autonomic nervous system is required for maintaining or regaining optimal physical and mental health. If your previous attempts at healing have failed, this is one of the reasons why. Our goal is physical healing, so OCC is taking a bold, (r)Evolutionary leap by incorporating regulation of the Autonomic Nervous System into every Member’s treatment plan. We stand apart because our approach is more complete in scope than typical Functional Medicine practices. We help our Members open their eyes to previously unexplored, but completely essential pathways to recovery via the autonomic nervous system. For this reason, based on the science of Polyvagal Theory, we center safety, connection, and belonging in all of our evidence-based, individualized treatment plans. Our approach is realistic, comprehensive, adaptable, highly personalized, and allows you and your body the time and support you need to recover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/21b39e24-3842-49b4-b105-fd7d06d82fb3/12+month+flow+%2817%29.png OCC's Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fd8586e2900961c97e8435/73559628-b604-4a04-9c6c-48ef67bf888f/FM+Circle+4-14-22+V2.png OCC's Approach - Truly collaborative care.
