about Jess:

​

Jess Cote, has a strong interest in the health and well being of others. It is her dream to be able to educate and help others so that they may take control of their health.  

Her journey of health began in her late teen years when she began having severe stomach issues, which doctors told her was endometriosis. After going through many surgeries, she was able to have two beautiful children.  Silently suffering with painful stomach cramps and bloating for years, her doctor eventually decided the only thing that would stop this would be a hysterectomy. No longer able to take the pain, she went through with this. Needless to say, afterwards, she still suffered from the same issues. On top of that she started having severe earaches and sore throats and was referred to a specialist. The only conclusion doctors could come up with was that she could have lymphoma. They scheduled a lymph node biopsy and told her to prepare for the worst. The biopsy came back negative and they sent her away with no answers but that it was all in her head. In 2006, Jess went to a 90 minute seminar and felt as if she opened her eyes to a whole new world, where nutrition was key to everything. “The education that I received that day was so powerful and motivating, that my family made big changes that day”. For starters, Jess completely changed the way her family ate, which also aided in solving all her health problems. Doing this allowed her to lose over 50 pounds in 3 years. Her weight came off slowly, but it has stayed off which is the most important thing. Being free of pain, Jess decided that she wanted to learn more about nutrition and become an educator herself. She enrolled in Clayton College of Natural Health and in 2009, earned a Bachelor of Science in Natural Health.  She began working as a Nutrition and Wellness Consultant. She found so much joy in being able to share her knowledge and help others.  In 2012, Jess was introduced to Lymphatic  Therapy while her mother was battling breast cancer.  This treatment was so fascinating and helped her mother tremendously with pain and swelling. It also helped her to be able to relax from the amount of stress she was going under while battling this horrendous disease. Jess began taking an interest in this therapy and was certified in May of 2014 to be a therapist. She enjoys being able to help others with this amazing treatment and has seen many fascinating results.  She states “It is in my mother’s honor that I do this treatment to help people, either battling a dis-ease or to prevent them from suffering from one.  Prevention is big key in this therapy! Educating them on taking care of their lymph is so important.  Most people are unaware of the importance of the lymph system and the significance it has on the immune system.”

Then in early 2015 Jess & her husband Brian were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. they had originally thought it was fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue but further testing showed Chronic Lyme. The therapy helps them alot with their pain. Jess states about 75% of my practice is Lyme patients. I understand their pain and frustration with the disease. So I'm always looking for ways to help out the Lyme Community.
