About Sacred Pathways

Are chronic pain, women’s health issues, digestive irritation, or other stubborn problems preventing you from living a life full of activity and joy?

Don’t give up hope! You deserve to hike, run, bike, or play pain-free without medications or surgery. You deserve to start or grow your family on your own terms. You deserve to feel comfortable and confident in your body.

Hi, I’m Jan Mead, Physical Therapist and Acupuncturist. Are you struggling with pain and dysfunction that won’t get better no matter how many doctors you see, PTs you try, or medications you take? If so, I’m glad you’re here. I started Sacred Pathways just for people like you. After battling for years with my own seemingly unsolvable problems, I know how frustrating, frightening, and hopeless it can feel. So when I finally found the answers by combining holistic Physical Therapy with the 5 Elements of wellness and acupuncture, I made it my mission to help others find the same relief.

Have you ever heard…

  • “You need to see (another) specialist” (but none of them have any answers)"
  • “You can only manage the pain with medication or exercises.”
  • “We can try changing your medication” (again)
  • “There’s nothing else someone with your condition can do.”
  • “If this doesn’t work the only option is surgery”
  • “This is normal for someone like you” (but it doesn’t feel normal)

Don’t accept these answers. There is a better way. At Sacred Pathways, we’ve helped countless people find relief from stubborn pain, stop their headaches, calm their raging digestive system, or finally start their family after years or trying. And it’s all done naturally, without medication or surgery. The greatest joy is watching people get back outdoors, enjoy mountain trails, recover quality time with their family, and feel comfortable in their bodies again.

You can, too. By combining the best practices of Physical Therapy, myofascial release and  acupuncture, you can heal your body at its core, addressing the underlying problems that manifest in pain, inflammation, and dysfunction. When your whole body is healthy and balanced, you feel better, have more energy, and function at your best.

My Story of Overcoming Infertility

I almost died trying to have my second child. A few weeks after an apparent miscarriage, I suddenly felt lightheaded and nauseous. I had an ectopic pregnancy, and it had progressed to internal bleeding. Emergency surgery saved my life, but it cost me a fallopian tube. After 4 long years of trying everything short of IVF, I had accepted my infertility as a sad fact.

Until I attended a training seminar on myofascial release. During the sessions, my mentor discovered that I had unresolved pelvic floor issues that I hadn’t even been aware of. After a few intense treatments, I felt a whole new connection to my body and spirit. My husband and I still desired another child, so we decided to try one more time.

The next month, I got pregnant with my son. It was an eye-opening experience. Since then, I’ve continued to train and learn about the root causes of infertility so I can help other women overcome the same struggle, pain, and sadness.
