Our Story
We welcome you to Women Wise Holistic Healthcare and Wellness and are thrilled to be opening after a 3.5 year process including zoning, acquisition of site and renovations, Covid and supply chain issues. A dream that began at The University of Pennsylvania as a graduate school course exercise to create a brochure for her own women's health clinic has become a reality.
Raised with her two sisters by a single Mom, Eve was taught at an early age, “Your Body is Your Temple; Be careful what you do with it, what you put into it and with whom you share it.” She was instilled with a sense of honor and responsibility about her body. Ironically this parallels Dorthea Orem, a Nursing theorist’s belief that patients’ are responsible for their own care, which is the philosophy and foundation on which our practice is based. Thus, patients’ play a key role and responsibility in the success of their personal health care journey.
We are a spiritually based holistic women’s health and wellness concept based practice with a concierge’ boutique-like feel without the attitude or extreme fees. We also realize we may not be for everyone.
Our office is located in a 100-Year-Old Victorian home which has been renovated and the office lovingly curated with attention to the utmost detail with the patient’s experience in mind. The waiting room feels like a living room with many health and women’s empowerment books and literature. Rheostats’ have been installed in each exam room for women who experience migraine. Each exam room is equipped with sonos for individualized music selection and aromatherapy besides, the HEPA air scrubbers. Upon check out, new and annual patients will receive a small gift. Our beautiful ¾ acre campus includes a zen granite meditation area, walk through perennial garden and fire pit circle and room for Tai Chi, Yoga and other activities. Further additions are planned for the near future.
Our founder, Eve Jacobs has tried to reinvent, innovate and elevate the women’s health experience by creating a truly Holistic experience incorporating the body, mind and spirit. Having worked all over the Philadelphia Metro, South Jersey and Suburbs in Obstetrics, Gynecology, Reproductive Endocrinology and Gynecologic Oncology as a Board Certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner for 33 years, she has been disheartened at how healthcare has not supported clinicians spending time with patients regarding education and wellness. Women’s concerns are often dismissed, not having issues fully addressed. Patients are often numbers and many providers don’t truly know their patients. Eve has reinvented the kind of care that she believes women desire and deserve and that she herself wishes to receive. Patients at Women Wise will be known and valued. Eve is extremely passionate and cares deeply about her patients. Our annual and new patient appointments are one hour. Problem visits are 30 minutes. We address lifestyle, emotional and spiritual issues that affect physical and emotional health. We incorporate empowerment and holistic measures to help women live their healthiest, most powerful and satisfying lives through indoor/outdoor activities on campus and educational classes.
