Live your life to the fullest without pain with Toward Health.
Holistic Practitioner
Jeremy Marquette M.Ost, ND, DO.
My journey in healthcare started with medical school in France, followed by a Master's in osteopathy & naturopathy in London. After practising for a decade and a half and over 14,000 hours of treating, listening and observing patients I realised I was limited. I needed to better understand my connection to health, the human body and humanity.
Soon the answer became evident, I needed to find myself and the answer in myself first. This was a turning point in my career and life, it led me to confront my own limitations and resistance driving me to grow personally and professionally.
To date, I have spent over 18,000 treating people both in and outside my clinic.
Treatment with me changes from patient to patient and session to session, everyone is unique. I work intuitively and tailor myself and my approach to my patient needs. I have successfully helped patients with many aspects of their lives, most commonly pain, autoimmune, disease and trauma.
I help patients with many things, the nervous system, I do bodywork, adjustment/manipulation techniques, I work on trauma, I work viscerally, psychological, emotional and energetical balance in the body, relationship, relationship between parents and children, lifestyle, I work with neurodivergent individuals, helping with chemical balance and so on…
For me, it is a privilege to help and support another soul. Witnessing Humans heal, transform and connect to themselves and the Body is an honour. Life's ability to change and heal always amazes me.
About myself.
The core of my practice is compassion and kindness, I am also extremely honest and straightforward. I do my earnest to help my patients.
When embarking on my journey in healthcare I didn’t expect to find myself. I am grateful I did, it has helped me immensely and allowed me to meet amazing humans that are now at the core of my life and heart. I learnt the value of relationships and shared experiences.
I am neurodivergent (ADHD and autism), and being neurodivergent was a challenge for most of my life. Now it is a greatest asset, sensitivity, intuition, compassion and empathy are an invaluable gift.
‘’What matters is not what you do, think, feel or experience.
What matters is what is behind what you do.
With kindness, integrity and observation.
Humans can find health and balance.’’

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.
