Hi, I’m Janelle.
I have been through a lot of medical and life challenges myself! From endometriosis, to pregnancy loss twice, to birthing 2 large beautiful babies and eventually losing my breasts to cancer. Although I had a lot of love around me, it was often a very lonely and frustrating journey. I learned early that there is not enough research or support for trauma-informed care, not only for women's health, but for everyone. So I set out to make a difference.

Is this covered by my insurance?
I don’t process health insurance directly. However, many insurance companies DO REIMBURSE for out-of-network providers. It's worth submitting receipts for reimbursement. They may cover all or a portion of your visits. And by all means, please submit all of your receipts to your HSA /FSA if you have one—Brave Body Wellness services do qualify!
It gets better! The state of Michigan does not require a Doc referral for Occupational Therapy services! Yay! One less hoop to jump through!
