Meet Josiah & Jenna Bartlett
Dr. Josiah and Jenna, his wife, both grew up in Iowa and were led south when Jenna began chiropractic school at Life University in Marietta. Their journey has been shaped by a shared mission: to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus by bringing hope, abundance, and a firm foundation to the lives they touch.
​
Through their own health journeys, Josiah and Jenna were introduced to a holistic philosophy of healing that transformed how they view the body. They came to understand that lasting healing required more than addressing symptoms—it requires restoring balance across the body's physical structure, nervous system, chemistry, emotions, electrical communication, and spiritual well-being. This understanding now serves as the foundation of the care they provide.
Dr. Josiah's approach honors the body's God-given capacity to heal when systems are working in harmony. Through hands-on therapy, fascial techniques, neurological and proprioceptive retraining, muscle testing-guided nutritional support, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, and movement-based care, he works to remove barriers to healing and support optimal function.
Alongside Dr. Josiah, Jenna is pursuing her Doctor of Chiropractic degree while providing Emotion Code and Jesus-centered Inner Healing Sessions. She reflects the heart of the practice—rooted in faith, compassion, and renewed healing from the inside out. Together, Josiah and Jenna are committed to caring for the whole person— body, mind, and spirit—while honoring God's design and helping each individual build a firm foundation for lasting health and wellness.
Our Techniques
At Firm Foundation Integrative Health, we provide highly individualized care tailored to each person's unique needs. Whether you are recovering from an injury, navigating chronic health challenges, or seeking emotional and spiritual restoration, our goal is to support what your body, mind, and spirit need at that point in time.
We use individualized assessment methods to guide care, evaluating different layers of function within the body, including structural, chemical, neurological, psychosomatic, electrical, visceral (organ), and spiritual influences. Our treatment philosophy is informed by Applied Kinesiology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and whole-person principles. Because the body changes from visit to visit, no two appointments are exactly alike. Each session is tailored to how your body is responding and what it needs that day.
Dr. Josiah integrates specialized techniques into each personalized care plan only when appropriate. Complementing this approach, Jenna provides Emotion Code and Jesus-centered Inner Healing sessions that support emotional and spiritual wellness through compassionate listening, prayer, and biblical truth. Together, we look forward to partnering with you as you pursue restored function, resilience, healing, and lasting wellness.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology (AK) uses muscle testing to assess how your body's structural, neurological, and chemical systems are functioning together, helping identify underlying imbalances and guide personalized care.
Emotion Code
Emotion Code is a gentle wellness technique designed to help identify and release unresolved emotional burdens, supporting emotional balance and overall well-being.
Chiro-Plus Kinesiology
Chiro-Plus Kinesiology (CPK) is an advanced form of Applied Kinesiology that uses specific stimuli to communicate with the nervous system, helping identify the most effective ways to support your body's natural healing processes.
Microcurrent
Microcurrent therapy uses frequency-specific, micro-amperage electrical currents to support cellular metabolism and ATP production, promoting the body's natural healing processes and healthy tissue recovery.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release uses gentle pressure and stretching to reduce fascial tension, improve movement, relieve pain and discomfort, and support the body's natural healing processes.
Nutrition Testing
Utilizing the Lebowitz Protocol, nutritional assessment through Applied Kinesiology helps identify nutritional imbalances and guide personalized support for the body's natural healing and recovery.
Integrative Health
True health is multidimensional. Our integrative approach recognizes that each person functions as an interconnected whole, influenced by structural integrity, biochemical support, nervous system function, emotional well-being, psychosomatic patterns, energetic regulation, and spiritual health. By assessing how these systems interact, we aim to identify underlying functional imbalances and barriers to healing, allowing care to be personalized through a whole-person approach
Structural
The body is built on a foundation of bones, muscles, fascia, and connective tissue. When this foundation becomes imbalanced, it can disrupt the way your nervous system function and other regulatory systems function, often contributing to pain, recurring injuries, and widespread dysfunction.
Much of this imbalance begins with neurological interference, whether in the peripheral nerves or in how the fascia communicates sensory information to the brain. When these signals become distorted, proprioception—the body's awareness of its position and movement in space—can become impaired, triggering a chain reaction that may influence movement, digestion, hormone regulation, sleep, and overall energy.
By addressing these structural and neurological components, we seek restore healthy communication within the nervous system and improve its ability to adapt to stress. This supports clarity, balance, and efficient function, allowing the body's natural healing processes to work as they were designed.​
Every function in the body—whether movement, thought, or an autonomic process such as digestion or circulation—is influenced by biochemical processes. When the body's chemistry becomes imbalanced, it can affect how every system functions. A simple example is chronic swelling in a joint: excess fluid, such as lymphatic or interstitial fluid, can alter movement and change how the brain interprets sensory input, which over time may contribute to compensatory movement patterns and dysfunction throughout the body.
By supporting healthy fluid dynamics through techniques such as fascial therapy, visceral mobilization techniques, lymphatic massage, and muscle testing-guided nutritional support, we aim to improve communication between the body and the nervous system. As communication improves, the nervous system can more effectively regulate inflammation, support immune function, and promote the body's natural healing processes. This approach may benefit areas of the body experiencing chronic inflammation, irritation, swelling, or impaired function.
Chemical
Psychosomatic
The body's response to stress is strongly influenced by the limbic system, the part of the brain responsible for processing emotion, memory, and threat perception. When the body experiences physical or emotional stress, the limbic system interprets that input and initiates physiological responses. These responses do not always appear as tears or anger; they often manifest as muscle tension, inflammation, altered breathing, or changes in movement, reflecting the body's response to emotional stress.
Because the body functions as an integrated system, patterns of chronic tension, pain, neuro-emotional responses, and muscular imbalances can provide insight into how the nervous system is adapting. Fascia, which is highly innervated and plays a central role in proprioception and interoception, is an important part of how the brain perceives and responds to the body.
​
By working through the fascial and nervous systems, we seek to support healthy nervous system regulation, reduce sympathetic stress responses, and encourage emotional processing. As the limbic system shifts out of a protective state, tension, pain, and compensatory movement patterns may decrease, allowing the body to return to greater physical and emotional balance.
The body's health is not only physical and chemical—it is also energetic. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, energy is understood to flow through the body along pathways called meridians, which are closely associated with fascia and connective tissue. When this flow becomes restricted or imbalanced, it may influence organ function, movement, and overall vitality.
​
Because fascia forms a continuous, highly innervated network throughout the body, it serves as both a structural and functional communication system, influencing physical, emotional, and physiological function. Techniques such as acupressure, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, and myofascial therapy are used to support balanced energy flow, regulate the nervous system, reduce tension, and promote the body's innate ability to heal.
​
By integrating these approaches, we aim to support healthy communication throughout the body, helping restore balance, improve function, and promote lasting health and wellness.
Energetic
Spiritual
The spiritual dimension of health reflects our relationship with God, our sense of purpose, and the beliefs that shape how we experience life. Throughout Scripture, we see that the body, mind, and spirit are deeply connected, and that spiritual well-being can influence how we respond to stress, relationships, suffering, and healing. While physical and emotional concerns may have many contributing factors, spiritual health is an important part of caring for the whole person.
Unresolved spiritual struggles, including fear, guilt, shame, unforgiveness, or unhealthy beliefs, can contribute to emotional distress and influence how the nervous system responds to life's challenges. As these burdens are brought into the light through prayer, biblical truth, and a renewed relationship with God, many individuals experience greater peace, hope, and freedom that positively support their overall well-being.
​
At Firm Foundation Integrative Health, we recognize that spiritual healing is a personal journey that cannot be forced or prescribed. Through Jesus-centered Inner Healing, prayer, and compassionate support, we seek to create a safe environment where individuals can pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ while complementing the physical and emotional aspects of their healing journey.
