Top Women's Wellness Center in Port Orchard and Tacoma
Off the Grid Functional Health offers appointments at two offices serving the South Sound: Epoch Wellness Center in Port Orchard and Thresholds Collective in Tacoma. Each location is a hub for chiropractic, pelvic floor physical therapy, massage, and other bodywork practitioners. They are easily accessed by appointment, with some Saturday availability at Thresholds in Tacoma. Off the Grid Functional Health shares space at both locations, where Off the Grid's founder Kay Jackson, CNM, ARNP, specializes in root cause therapies for women experiencing the weight challenges, hormonal fluctuations, mood changes (and more), that arise during the reproductive years, pregnancy, postpartum, peri-menopause, and menopause itself.

And what's really upsetting is no matter how many times she pushes the stroller around the block, the baby weight just won't come off the way it did after the last one. And all that stroller pushing is making her hips ache more than ever, so for the last two weeks she gave up on exercise and feels like she's going to scream the house down or do something terrible...
This conversation often ends in tears, because unlike a regular medical appointment, private-pay futendency with specialized laboratory testing to learn about an individual's bowel microbiome. Sounds weird, but it's an easy test I've actually used on myself. Going that route, I expect we can expect to learn whand vaginaadvanced genetic testing for personalized supplement and medication recommendations, tailored supplement suggestions to boost mood and energy, and gut microbiome evaluations to create effective weight loss strategies. For added convenience, I also offer telehealth services for remote consultations.
