Jennifer A. Herman, FNTP, BSP, MLBD, PMH-C
Founder - Nervous System and Trauma Specialist
Jennifer A. Herman is a Functional Health Practitioner and founder of Pine Laurel Wellness, nestled in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. She specializes in nutritional therapy, mental health, and targeted supplementation for children, adults, and perinatal populations navigating stress, anxiety, and complex trauma. Jennifer holds certifications as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Functional Supplement Specialist, Perinatal Mental Health Doula, Sylvotherapist, and Brainspotting Therapist.
Drawing on Brainspotting, Memory Reconsolidation, and nutritional and lifestyle therapies, Jennifer helps clients address the root causes of unresolved patterns — undesirable behaviors, emotions, and thoughts, as well as disordered eating, chronic or unexplained pain, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and grief.
Informed by her own experience with a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, Jennifer is deeply passionate about women's mental and physical health throughout the perinatal journey. She has developed specialized programs for women navigating pregnancy trauma, fertility challenges, perinatal loss, and traumatic births. She facilitates support groups for early pregnancy loss through Postpartum Support International and serves as Education & training Lead on the PSI Board of Directors for Pennsylvania.
Outside of her practice, Jennifer can be found on road trips, at live music shows, or tending to her 50-acre mountain forest homestead. She believes in realistic, sustainable approaches to health — meeting people where they are, healing from within, and finding joy in the journey.

Selena Washburn, LMT
Massage Therapist & Bodyworker
A skilled and compassionate licensed massage therapist, Selena Washburn has been practicing since 2002. A graduate of Health Options Institute and a member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals in good standing, Selena has continued to expand her expertise through advanced training in Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Soft Tissue Melting, Zero Balancing, and Swedish Massage. Her professional background includes work in day spas and wellness centers, physical therapy and rehabilitation settings, and chiropractic offices, giving her a well-rounded and deeply therapeutic approach to care.
In addition to over a decade of wellness and relaxation massage experience, Selena also specializes in Therapeutic Medical Massage and can provide records and receipts for insurance reimbursement upon request.
Selena’s philosophy is that massage is not a luxury, but an essential part of overall health and well-being. Every body — regardless of shape, condition, or stage of healing — can benefit from intentional bodywork. Rather than following a routine, each session is thoughtfully tailored to meet the body where it is that day, blending a variety of therapeutic techniques to support relaxation, pain relief, balance, and restoration. Her goal is to help bring the body back to homeostasis — its most relaxed, neutral, and supported state — creating a massage experience that is both deeply personalized and restorative.
