Jessica Kraus LMT

Holistic Health Practitioner, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Reflexologist, National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach

Thank you for stopping by and getting to know more about me. I have been passionate about helping others since I was little. My father raised me to believe in the “Mind over Matter” theory, not knowing that there is great truth in that statement. As a mother, I am able to teach my children the fundamentals of health from a preventative standpoint as well as the value of autonomy. I strongly believe that we have the ability to prevent most illnesses. Utilizing the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine and seeking wholeness in our Body/Soul/Spirit allows us to address the gap from where you are to where you want to be. With over 20 years of experience in the natural health field, it has been an honor to work with like-minded practitioners who are just as passionate about helping others. I’ve obtained a significant amount of training and education as well as decades of hands-on experience obtained working side-by-side doctors who possess over 100 yrs of collaborative knowledge.

I graduated from the Institute of Business and Medical Careers in 2005 with honors and have continued my training and education ever since. In 2012 I completed Holistic Health Practitioner Certification through Front Range Community College. In 2013 I became certified in Reflexology. In 2024 I became certified as a health & wellness coach followed by National Board Certification from NBHWC. Continuing education is very important in health-care because of the ever evolving techniques and modalities. Besides that, I love school and believe that we should never stop learning. My goal is to learn as much as I can so that I may help as many people as possible.

The modalities that I offer are: Swedish massage, Deep tissue, Raindrop technique, Reflexology (Hands, Feet, and Ears), Constitutional Hydrotherapy, Health & Wellness Coaching, Prayer, Inner Healing, and holistic health consulting.

For more information on any of these modalities please call the office at (970) 223-7425 and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Keeping our bodies, minds and enthusiasm for life alive

The path of life is different for everyone and we are not all created the same. We all have different strengths and weaknesses; some of us are blessed with fantastic genes that have enabled us to live each day to the fullest and some of us have had less than optimal foundations from which to draw our existence. But, we all do age and as we walk along this path, our experiences vary. For me, my daughter went to my husband distraught because my demeanor had changed from loving “Mom” to a cold and distant “Mom”. It’s often the people around us that recognize the change in us before we do. Fortunately, we have encouraged openness in our family and this event ignited the flame for me to seek alternatives for the inevitable process of aging.

My nursing career has taken me from labor/delivery at Valley Community and Brownsville Hospitals, newborn nursery to Lamaze instructor and Regional Director. As my family demands grew, my career took a shift to school nursing which was incredibly insightful. Brownsville bordered on Mexico and I was the emergency nurse for 35,000 students from elementary to high school. The range of health problems and family circumstances opened my eyes to the different cultures and life styles within that area. We moved away from the violence of Mexico and chose to be closer to help my terminally ill father. Unfortunately, or fortunately, this move didn’t allow me to continue within my previous experience and my path changed towards the aging and elderly population. Grass Valley is known as a retirement community and it is the beginning of my career in long-term care/skilled nursing of 20+ years, leaving for my NP education and coming back as Director of Nurses to this 175 bed-privately owned skilled facility. As Director of Nurses, it was my charge to assess and monitor the care for hundreds of patients. It is here that health and the current approaches towards “graceful” aging illuminated my eyes. Taking 20 meds per day and continuing to deteriorate, seeing gifted individuals fade away, isn’t the right solution. The elderly fascinate me, they have such insight and wisdom. Most younger generations turn their heads not to see, should the older people come their way. After my daughter’s shocking revelation about my change, I began my quest to alleviate and enhance the aging process for myself and others.

UCLA Medical Center’s NP Program was my choice to advance my education and focus on the mature woman. I was asked to note what I hoped to do with my NP, if accepted, and my response was to focus on “the forgotten woman”, because that is how many women feel as they step away from their child bearing and professionally productive years. My preceptor, Brian Retherford, MD, was an icon of a man with the most fantastic bedside manner. His patients looked forward to coming to our office for their care. He guided me into my professional life as an NP.
Men and women all experience changes sometime in their lives. Support should be provided to shore up areas of need as they arise. Fortunately for us, there are current studies that have enabled practitioners to provide this type of care through evidence based medicine. I have been providing this care for 10+ years and travelled the path myself for 20.

Fort Collins is a beautiful place and provides the opportunities to reach out to adults. I’ve recently left a rural clinic in the northern California foothills. My patients ranged from teenagers to 60-80 year old’s. This was one of the few clinics available to people that had no health coverage. I was the only nurse practitioner on site and my patient load was considerable ranging from 18-35 on any one day. Colorado is one of many states that gives nurse practitioners full practice abilities. My license includes DEA and prescriptive authority in addition to my NP. This allows me to fulfill the level of care I have sought to provide.

Christl Reinig-Everett, PhD, CTN, APRN, FNP-C

Owner/Operator of Trinity Natural Health LLC

When Dr. Christl was 20 years old she was diagnosed with several chronic conditions. She was told by her doctors that there was nothing they could do to relieve her distress. Their recommendation was simply that she try alternatives, but then gave no practical suggestions. This medical encounter left her feeling hopeless and further from achieving her health goals. She was unable to hold any kind of employment. These medical conditions inspired her to begin her quest to understand alternative medicine and her long fight back to a healthy state.

The result of her determination to understand, synthesize, and implement the teachings she discovered during her journey was a full recovery from her afflictions, and the freedom to enjoy the life she knew was waiting for her. Dr. Christl’s mission is to educate and encourage people of all ages and stages whose lives have followed a similar path, or whose loved one’s are experiencing the pain and discomfort she once did. She encourages her patients to listen to their inner voice and strive for true healing! She is looking forward to teaming up with you on your health care journey.

She is passionate about Functional Medicine and finding the root cause of disease. She believes that everyone is unique and therefore takes an individualized approach to health and wellness. In her nursing career she worked with medically fragile children and as a nurse practitioner she has worked with ADHD, Autism, autoimmune conditions, wellness, and giving the geriatric population a voice in the medical community. Dr. Christl has a passion for missions and has been on three mission trips to Hong Kong and the most recent trip was a medical mission trip to Kenya, Africa.

Dr. Christl studied Alternative Medicine since 1988 and Functional Medicine since 2005. She has earned her PhD in Natural Health and Doctor of Naturopathy from Clayton College of Natural Health, her Bachelor of Nursing at Regis University, and her Master of Nursing at CU Anschutz. She completed numerous hours of post graduate studies in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine, Apex Energetics, and Designs for Health.
