Jodie Jensen, ND

Jodie Jensen, ND is a Virginia native and a naturopathic doctor at Thrive Naturopathic. She practices whole-person medicine with an emphasis on individualized, gentle, and thoughtful care that supports the body’s innate healing wisdom. Her clinical approach draws from classical homeopathy, lifestyle medicine, botanical medicine, nutraceuticals, and mind–body principles to support our members through all stages of their healing journey.

Dr. Jensen earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a concentration in pre-medicine from North Carolina State University, where she was involved in neurobiological research, and received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. In addition to her naturopathic medical education, she completed advanced training in classical homeopathy through the New England School of Homeopathy, and has pursued extensive continuing education in trauma-informed and holistic approaches to healing. Her work is grounded in the understanding that the nervous system and stress response patterns profoundly influence biological health, resilience, and the healing process.

Dr. Jensen’s path to naturopathic medicine was shaped by her own experience with chronic illness, which continues to inform how she shows up for our members and the care she provides:
“I have personally battled with chronic illness and know what it’s like to be failed by the modern medical care system (in spite of its best efforts), to feel hopeless, stuck, and sick & tired of being sick & tired. It wasn’t until I began to address my illness on all levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—that I began to restore my health. Combining my personal life experience with my naturopathic medical education, I am committed to supporting and empowering our practice members through their healing journeys as they restore vitality in their lives on all levels.”

Dr. Jensen considers it an honor to partner with our members in this ever-evolving process of healing and is grateful to be part of a practice that values depth, integrity, and whole-person care.

Halicia Jones, RN

Hi there!

My name is Halicia and I am a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Registered Nurse of 21 years (University of MD, Baltimore).

I decided to become a Health Coach after spending years yoyo dieting and desperately trying to resolve my digestive issues.

My symptoms started at a young age and when I was 21 I saw my first specialist. After all the test results came back “normal”, I was diagnosed with IBS, handed a prescription and sent on my way. No one ever explained WHY or WHAT was causing my symptoms. I knew the medication had a lot of side effects and didn’t feel comfortable taking them and there began my journey of trying to heal myself. 

Growing up in the Fad Diet Era, I tried EVERYTHING to fix my symptoms and maintain my weight, but nothing worked long-term.

After years of the roller coaster dieting, and my symptoms worsening, I knew there had to be a better way. I wanted a natural more holistic approach to health and wellness.

Once I learned the root cause of my symptoms, the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes, my digestive symptoms went away and I was able to maintain a healthy weight.

I finally felt amazing in my body! I knew at that moment, I wanted to help as many people as I could do the same. It’s my passion to provide others with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to optimize their health and feel amazing in their bodies!
