Jessica highlights the parts of her entrepreneurial journey that led her to Jova, emphasizing the importance of the creative process when it comes to problem-solving consumer issues.

    Communication Failures in Integrative Care

    In this episode of CNS Unfiltered, Jena shares a case study that exemplifies the need for consistent team communication within integrative care settings. With this case study, a client was following all of the steps, investing in her health, and trusting that someone was looking at the big picture... but what happens when that communication stops between care providers? Jena discusses how her role as a CNS practitioner allowed her to take a step back and look at the big picture for her client, ultimately recognizing where that client fell through the cracks under the care of other providers, and what consequences followed for her health.
