Biography
Jess Henning, APRN-CNP, holds bachelor’s degrees in Environmental Science, and Geography and Planning. She completed an MS in Environmental Science and Health at the University of Nevada, Reno, focusing on climate change and water resources. After graduate school, she ran a laboratory for a gourmet vegetable farm, was a park naturalist and program coordinator, and taught biology at Bowling Green State University – Firelands. She obtained her Yoga Alliance teaching certification with additional specialty certifications in trauma and resilience (EMBER Program), addiction and recovery (Yoga of Recovery) and children’s yoga (Radiant Child Yoga).
Jess returned to school and graduated from The Ohio State University College of Nursing as a family nurse practitioner. She taught EMBER yoga at the Columbus YWCA as an Albert Schweitzer Fellow and worked with adolescents with congenital heart disease on a National Institutes of Health study through Nationwide Children’s Hospital during school. Post- graduation she completed the Ambulatory Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship with the Department of Family and Community Medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Jess splits her time between clinical care in the Center for Integrative Medicine and serving as the Clinical Education Lead. She integrates a functional approach to treating the whole person with the aim of preventing, identifying and correcting 'dis-ease' in the body. Her special interests include autoimmune, thyroid and gastrointestinal disorders and the interplay between the natural environment, human health and behavior. In 2023, she completed the Institute of Functional Medicine’s Practitioner Certification Program.
When she isn’t seeing patients, you can find her biking, paddling and hiking, and spending as much time as possible outdoors with her rescue dog, Bowie.

She listens, tells me her recommendations and then gets back with me when my medication needs adjusted.

Good
Kind caring and authentically present!
Jessica asked me if it was ok to use a note taking assistant. I like that she is aiming for the most accurate notes and expressed appropriate concern for my privacy. She also recommended a book.
This provider didn't blow smoke or promise things that were unrealistic, nor order unnecessary tests. When I had questions about her recommendations she answered them so I could understand.
Excellent always. Listens to you and cares. Very diligent and helpful.
She doesn't have the level of knowledge I expected from an integrative provider.
Very condescending
Jess was very knowledgeable and helpful regarding supplements that could be beneficial. She stated that any additional supplements would need to be okayed by the pharmacist to make sure that they did not interfere with my cancer medications.
This care provider is a CNP that I made an appointment with because I'm having some serious health problems and have visited Integrative Medicine in the past with good results but this provider isn't doing anything except bloodwork which I don't even get the results of until I go back in 3 months. So far my bloodwork has been good but she hasn't given me insight as to what is going on with me, she just tells me she don't know.
Jess is very knowledgeable and helpful
