Jessica DeRaps, RHC, MBWC
Real Health Coach, Mind Body Wellness Coach
I began my journey with LCOIH as a patient and quickly knew I wanted to be a part of the vision of the practice- to see people truly heal and understand what real health looks like. As I continued my own health journey while working at the front desk and as a medical assistant, I began learning how the effects of trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation often lead to chronic illness. I began embarking on a journey to heal from my own trauma and knew that this was something I needed to share with others. I received my coaching certificate for trauma recovery through the International Trauma Training Institute and Polyvagal training and somatic healing through Somatic Experiencing Int. I later became certified as a Real Health Coach as well. It has been very rewarding to combine the two modalities to empower patients to achieve deep and lasting healing both physically and emotionally.
I enjoy cooking real food for my children and co-workers. I am most happy when I am outdoors and in the woods, often with a book in my hands.
