You’re probably here because you have tried it all.

You have been to countless doctors and even several specialists. You’ve bought all the supplements and tried every fad diet, hoping to feel even a little bit better. You have tried to get to the bottom of your unexplained symptoms by going through a slew of labs that show up as “normal”, only to have your doctor shrug and say you’re “fine”. But you know something isn’t right.

We know what it feels like to deal with unexplained pain, fatigue, brain fog, gas, bloating, irregular digestion or other unexplained symptoms. Our goal is to help people experience a pleasurable and meaningful life by addressing complex health issues through functional medicine.

We believe…
Being healthy isn’t about being perfect.

Dr. Jen Mann, ND, is the lead naturopathic doctor at Nova Wellness. She specializes in functional medicine, combining conventional and holistic approaches to address conditions such as autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, and thyroid conditions.

She earned her ND at Bastyr University, in Seattle, WA, the premier naturopathic school in the country. Prior to this she graduated with a BA in Chemistry with high honors from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN and was an Environmental Scientist with the US EPA.

Dr. Mann has worked in both conventional and integrative medicine over the past decade, including at One Medical Group, and has supported thousands of clients heal from chronic conditions. Nova Wellness was founded out of her passion for integrative medicine and a holistic approach to healing.

  • 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 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 battled with exhaustion, anxiety, and depression, and relied on caffeine, sugar, and food to cope with these difficult experiences. This cycle led to physical and mental distress.  The drowsiness affected my ability to drive. I had painful bloating, gas, and even unexplainable rashes. I didn’t know where to start, so I avoided starting altogether. 
    My turning point was when I discovered movement and group fitness. The energy and camaraderie in those classes motivated me, and sparked my journey to explore what truly made me feel good. I learned about the healing power of real foods. I lost weight, I felt better about myself emotionally and mentally and I discovered a deeper sense of healing, well-being and self-love. I became my own healer. 
    I'm devoted to empowering others to find their unique healing path, supporting your ability to heal. My passion lies in guiding you to your health, with self-compassion and kindness.
    This is why I’m here - to be a guide for people ready to take their lives back.  I can’t wait to work with you and help you on your wellness journey. 
    Chelsea has a B.A. in Psychology and Sociology, is a certified health coach, trauma informed Yoga Nidra facilitator, Reiki master teacher, and has a strong background in holistic wellness, mindfulness, meditation, and somatic healing. Outside of work she loves cooking, hiking, dancing, and spending time on the beach. She moved to San Diego in August of 2023 from Steamboat Springs, CO and has been loving the warm change in climate.

  • I am passionate about finding healthier and safer avenues to healing. I got interested in holistic medicine when I became a mom.  I became passionate about this when my oldest was diagnosed with acid reflux as a newborn and the doctors instantly wanted to put her on acid reflux medication. This was when I really started to pay attention to what I was put in my own body. I realized that the choices I made affected her health. We noticed a huge change in the struggles my daughter was having when I made the changes in my diet and lifestyle. Now, we live by those changes, and will forever. Having children put everything into perspective.
    I am so happy to be providing compassionate client support for Nova Wellness.  I look forward to speaking with you and helping you succeed in your holistic journey to better health. 
    Outside of work, I love going on adventures with my family, the sunshine, the lake, the snow, great food, shopping and classic cars.

Stories from Our Clients

  • “My life was a serious struggle before working with Dr Jenny. I had massive digestive issues, chronic stress, crazy mood swings, and low energy. I felt stuck. After the first chat with Dr Jenny I felt inspired! She gave me hope... After each visit we ran more tests and tweaked the plan. I slowly started feeling better and better and eventually got my life back.”

    SEAN A.

  • "I experienced fatigue, inflammation, digestive issues and a variety of rashes. Through my work with Dr. Jenny Mann, over the past year I have seen improvements on all fronts and improved my sensibility on spotting potential causality for all symptoms. I expect further improvements over the coming months and years. I enjoy Dr. Jenny Mann’s iterative, data driven and investigative approach. Together with her, I've worked on some pretty complex personal issues and was able to make progress.”

    BJOERN HERRMANN

  • "The best way to describe my life before Dr. Mann is to say that I was sick 24/7. My symptoms negatively influenced every aspect of my life…After years of struggling with multiple ailments and multiple specialists, Dr. Mann’s approach was the only one that worked. Since working with her, my life has improved significantly, and my symptoms continue to regress over time. Dr. Mann listened to all my symptoms, connecting the dots, which was the key to understanding the root of the problem and eventually finding a solution. She’s an active listener and doesn’t pressure her patients to undergo treatments they disagree with.”
