Jen Stanley | From Scratch Wellness
I believe most uncomfortable health symptoms and conditions are reversible.
Hey there, I'm Jennifer Stanley, certified Traditional Naturopath, Soil Consultant, and founder of From Scratch Wellness.
Prior to my natural medicine career, I was a professional chef for 10 years. When I was awarded the Aspiring Chef Scholarship from the Charlie Trotter Foundation, I moved back to Chicago to complete my degree from the French Pastry School. It was then that I was diagnosed with debilitating fibromyalgia.
“I came to natural medicine as so many of my clients do, out of desperation. After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and given a life sentence of one medication after another, I sought out naturopathic advice. Within 9 months of strict dietary changes, detoxification, and bodywork—all of my fibromyalgia symptoms were in remission. I was stunned that having been a professional chef for 10 years I had never realized that what I put in my mouth everyday either added to my life or took away from it.”
My team and I are devoted to listening to our clients and giving personalized guidance that takes into account the variety of factors contributing to particular health issues such as:
Chronic constipation and bloating
IBS
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Autoimmune disorders (arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer, diabetes)
Lyme disease or other environmental sensitivities
Depression
Anxiety
Stubborn weight gain
When you're ready to feel better, naturally...
Our goal is to empower you.
We'll help you improve your energy levels, organ function, emotional resilience, natural rhythms, and physical habits with optimal nutrition and self-care for your unique situation. We design individual treatment plans that most often consist of nutritional guidelines, hand-blended herbal support (organic tinctures, teas, supplements, and salves), and the right therapies for you, which may include one or some of these options:
Naturopathic/Nutritional Consultations, Nutritional & Detox Coaching, Online/Virtual Naturopathic Health Coaching, Colon Hydrotherapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation/ Myofascial release, Raindrop therapy, Oriental Massage, Cupping, Reiki, Iridology Analysis, FAR Infrared Sauna, Ionic Foot Bath
For 16 years I have designed holistic treatment plans from scratch—to reverse chronic symptoms and improve overall wellness.
My practice has expanded to include soil health consulting. Soil degradation and environmental toxicity are preventing our plants from uptaking the nutrients required for us to maintain our health through diet alone. The quickest and most natural way to fix this problem is to amend the soil with biocomplete composts and extracts. You will see workshops and opportunities at From Scratch to get your hands dirty as we work together to amend our local soils so that, once again, “food can be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”

“I have been bothered with heartburn off and on for several years. I watched my diet so I couldn’t understand why I had this problem. It was worsening to the point that even when I bent over, I would get another bout of heartburn. Dr. Jennifer used visceral manipulation on me and it totally eliminated the problem. I can bend over and eat whatever I want and no heartburn. I also felt a bit of pressure in my lower lungs, and visceral manipulation eliminated that as well. I feel great, no heartburn, and no drugs. After a session, I even felt more energetic.”
