Holistic Care in Bristol
Live your life to the fullest without pain with Toward Health.
Holistic Practitioner
Jeremy Marquette M.Ost, ND, DO.
My formal medical education began with two years in medical school, followed by a four-year Master’s in Osteopathy and Naturopathy. During the latter part of my studies, I developed a deeper relationship with healthcare.
Over the past twelve years, I have come to understand that my connection to health, the human body, and humanity continues to grow, enhancing my role as a holistic healer.
With a deep desire to help and support humanity, I have spent over 17,000 hours treating people both in and outside my clinic. These experiences have led me to confront my own challenges and driven me to develop both personally and professionally.
My treatment approach combines hands-on body manipulation with patient education. My goal is to elevate patient consciousness, enhance their healing abilities, and help them understand their bodies.
Building strong patient partnerships is key to effective treatment. This requires kindness, listening, and compassion to improve the patient experience and build lasting health. I have developed a unique approach to healthcare, offering a tailored and immersive experience.
At Toward Health, we also aim to partner with gifted individuals to work in synergy, further helping our patients and ourselves.
As a human, I value relationships and shared experiences. Maintaining health through food, movement, observation, and self-development is important to me. I write poetry and enjoy learning about the world and the universe.
As a practitioner, I am dedicated to helping patients from all walks of life. If you need help, I will find a way to assist you and your body.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
At Toward Health we understand that listening is at the core of our care. Your first visit with us will last around 60 minutes.
Before we begin your consultation your practitioner will briefly explain step by step what is going to happen during your first visit. You can read more below about this, which includes: taking your history, what to wear and why, examination and treatment.
Your History
During your first visit at Toward Health, we'll take your detailed history, as much as you're comfortable sharing. The more you share, the better we can support your healing and understand your needs. You can share anything: the nature of your discomfort, medical history, lifestyle, trauma, and how it feels to live in your body. We are skilled at taking history efficiently, ensuring ample time for treatment and a positive experience. We'll begin the examination process afterward.
Examination
Your practitioner will place their hands on your body to help you feel and understand what is truly happening, bringing your attention to areas of pain, sensitivity, lack of feeling, swelling, stiffness, heat, tonicity, heaviness, congestion, and more. They will explain the meaning behind some findings, and the exchange will be tailored to you, so don’t hesitate to ask questions. At Toward Health, the second part of our examination involves taking clinical photographs to better present our findings and show changes in your body before and after treatment. This is optional, and we will ask for your consent.
What to Wear and Why
In most cases, patients are examined and treated in their underwear for optimal care, but this is not compulsory. We recommend wearing comfortable underwear, like a sports bra and shorts. We provide shorts in all sizes and a private changing space. If you have any concerns, please ask—we're here to help and listen.
Treatment
Treatment is hands-on, and exchanging with you about your body and hour health. We will treat any area of your body that feels relevant to best help you. At Toward Health, we aim to take treatment beyond the treatment room. during your treatment with us, we will tailor our exchange with you to offer you a deeper understanding of your health. This will accelerate your healing journey and give you life-transforming insight into your own health.
