Meet Dr. Jenny Mann

I understand the struggles of digestive issues, hormone problems and autoimmune disease because I’ve been there myself.  After living in the Brazilian Amazon in college, I returned with severe digestive issues.  These developed into fatigue, eczema, and brain fog.  I was exhausted, couldn’t socialize, and felt like I was missing out on life. I was missing out on life. I went to doctors and these issues were dismissed as ‘just IBS and depression’.  I was beyond frustrated.  

In my first year of medical school, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune thyroid condition, and later, severe endometriosis.  These diagnoses gave me a name for the condition, but didn’t tell me anything about how I could feel better.   My desire for better health fueled me, and I spent my education focused on learning about the root causes of these autoimmune, gut and hormone conditions, and how to change them.  I found my way to better health and I love supporting others to do the same.

I’ve now been practicing for over a decade, with the honor of working with thousands of clients, and seeing them find empowerment, and heal from chronic conditions, conditions that people are often told that they ‘just have to live with’.   I started practicing in integrative family practice, so I am well versed in both conventional and integrative medicine, and love using the best of all worlds.  Because of this, I frequently get referrals from medical doctors, nurse practitioners, acupuncturists, physical therapists and other medical practitioners. 

Dr. Jenny Mann studied at Bastyr University, in Seattle, WA, the premier naturopathic school in the country.  She graduated with a BA in Chemistry high honors from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN.  She was an Environmental Scientist with the US EPA.  Dr. Mann has spent her medical career in integrative family practices, including One Medical Group, an innovative and modern national primary care group.  Her passion for healing lead to the creation of Nova Wellness.
