Founder, Intrinsic Wellness Studio
Jeannine Capria is a registered nurse, licensed massage therapist, esthetician, and certified lymphedema therapist who brings both heart and experience to her work. With a background in public health and oncology at St. Vincent’s Medical Center (1992–2003), she saw early on the importance of caring for the whole person—not just the symptoms. In 2009, inspired by her own healing journey and a passion for integrative medicine, Jeannine founded Intrinsic Health Source to offer a more complete approach to wellness. Today, that vision lives on through Intrinsic Wellness Studio—a collaborative and nurturing space where clinical knowledge meets holistic healing. Her mission is to support each client’s path to wellness through personalized, integrative care that addresses body, mind, and spirit.

At age 32, Jeannine was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome—an experience that profoundly shaped her understanding of healing. It was through her own recovery that she discovered the power of integrative care and the body’s innate ability to restore itself when given the right support. This pivotal moment deepened her commitment to holistic nursing and whole-person wellness.

When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, Jeannine’s background in both public health and holistic nursing positioned her as a steady and compassionate resource. In a time of widespread fear, confusion, and isolation, she offered clarity, comfort, and care. Her integrative approach—rooted in science, compassion, and individualized support—helped clients navigate uncertainty and stay connected to their health.

That chapter affirmed what she had long believed: wellness isn’t just about addressing illness—it’s about nurturing resilience. The loyalty and trust of her clients during and after the pandemic spoke volumes. Their return reinforced a growing need for integrative services, which led Jeannine to expand her vision. From that momentum, Intrinsic Wellness Studio was born—a collaborative space where personalized, whole-person care helps clients heal, grow, and thrive.

Jeannine’s work focuses on restoring balance, relieving pain, and enhancing function through an integrative model that bridges Eastern and Western medicine. Her specialties include:
