Meet Dr. Jessica Bock, DHSc, NBC-HWC

Grātia Wellness Institute is founded and led by Dr. Jessica Bock, a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) with a Doctor of Health Science (DHSc). Dr. Bock's unique perspective is enriched by over two decades of experience as a Physician Associate (PA-C). While Dr. Bock maintains her Physician Associate license and actively uses it in her work in interventional psychiatry, her services at Grātia Wellness Institute are strictly dedicated to coaching*. This extensive clinical background provides Dr. Bock with a profound understanding of human physiology, the intricate workings of the nervous system, and the powerful connection between mind and body.

At Grātia Wellness Institute, we're dedicated to providing coaching, not medical advice or therapy. Dr. Bock's role is to guide you in developing practical skills and strategies for self-regulation, stress management, and enhanced well-being, empowering you to take control of your health and thrive in the face of life's challenges.

Our Approach: Science-Backed, Trauma-Informed, and Heart-Centered

We offer a highly personalized approach to coaching, drawing from the latest research in neuroscience, physiology, and behavior change. The three pillars of our approach are designed to provide you with comprehensive, effective, and compassionate support:

  • Science-Backed: Our strategies are rooted in evidence and the latest understanding of the human nervous system, ensuring you receive effective and reliable guidance.

  • Trauma-Informed: We understand that many individuals, particularly those in high-stress professions and caregiving roles, may have experienced trauma, either directly or vicariously. Our coaching creates a safe and supportive space for you to explore your challenges and build resilience without re-traumatization.

  • Heart-Centered: Infused with our core values of grace, favor, and goodwill, our coaching is delivered with genuine compassion, empathy, and a deep commitment to your individual journey toward well-being.

Our Commitment

At Grātia Wellness Institute, we're committed to providing you with the highest quality coaching, grounded in scientific rigor and delivered with genuine compassion. We believe everyone has the capacity for resilience, and that, with the right tools and support, you can create a life of greater calm, connection, and well-being.
