Origins Collaborative Care

Applying Neuroscience + Functional Medicine
to restore your innate capacity for health.

Our approach to Functional Medicine is so innovative, it can be hard to grasp at first. These two videos are a great place to start.

Desperate Patient, Curious Provider:
OCC’s Origin Story

Listen to Micaela tell the story of her 11-year illness odyssey that led her and Jessica to create Origins Collaborative Care

Anatomy of a Chronic Illness:
The Biology of How We Get Sick 

We explain the biology of how Autonomic Nervous System dysregulation shifts the body away from healing and repair and toward increasing symptoms and illness.

Truly Integrated Functional Medicine

With you at the center.

Our care is focused on those who have complex, chronic inflammatory illness — the "mystery illnesses" that stump primary care providers and specialists alike.

The Science Behind the OCC Difference.

Origins Collaborative Care’s treatment model is the answer.

These are the questions:

What prevents people from getting well?

How are other highly skilled providers and treatment approaches falling short, and why?

What can we do differently to give patients the results they long for and deserve?

  • “As a trauma therapist with some (not extensive) exposure to Polyvagal Theory, I was stunned by the presentation “Removing Obstacles to Healing” with Jessica and Micaela. I had never before understood the relationship between stress/trauma and the immune system which they laid out so clearly. But then, I was completely blown away with their [experiential group education and practice] series on the Polyvagal Theory. I learned about my own system as well as how to recognize dysregulation in my clients at a much more subtle level than before.”

  • “I feel really profoundly and holistically cared for. I've really never had an experience with medical practitioners that has been so loving, so caring — where I feel like an equal and a subject, rather than an object."

    — Susan J.

  • "You just can't put a price on your health. I now realize all the years I wasted. Don't waste anymore time; go and get help. They’ll help you! I took my retirement investment out and I made another investment — a better investment!”
