Proactive Wellness Clinic

Proactive Wellness Clinic I am trained and experienced as a Family Nurse Practitioner in mainstream medicine, with additional training in Functional Medicine. Hi!
(2)

I use a lifestyle-focused, root-cause approach to guide you toward true health and sustainable healing. I’m Jessica Veloza, a Family Nurse Practitioner and founder of Proactive Wellness, LLC — a Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic that is geared towards lifestyle and integrative medicine, and founded on the belief that healthcare should be personal, proactive, and empowering. I help people take control of their health through high quality care, longer visits, and easy access to the provider. My approach blends science, compassion, and real connection — because healing starts when you’re truly heard. With a background in traditional family practice and advanced training from the Functional Nutrition Alliance, I bring together the best of both worlds: evidence-based care and holistic wellness. At Proactive Wellness, I offer:

🌿 Affordable monthly memberships for Direct Primary Care (DPC)
🌿One time urgent or sick visits, physicals or other primary care visits
💉 Medicine assisted weight loss and whole person weight loss guidance
🩺 Telehealth & personalized wellness plans
💬 Patient focused care with direct access to your provider

I’m passionate about helping busy professionals and families feel their best — not just treating symptoms. My mission is to give you the tools, education, and support to live vibrantly and stay well — for life. Let’s take healthcare back to what it should be: personal, thoughtful, and empowering.
