Providing care for the soul and the sole

One of the best things about being a nurse is the diversity in the work one can do. You will note as you peruse this website that it presents a strange combination of art therapy and foot care. In reality, both are integral parts of a happy, healthy lifestyle. While art therapy is good for the soul and ones mental dexterity, foot care is integral to the sole and therefore ones physical mobility.

If you are visiting for art therapy, please click on the ART STUDIO link, if you are seeking additional information about in home medical grade foot care services, please click on the RN SERVICES link.

Jennifer Giustina, RN, BSN, CFCS graduated from Linfield School of Nursing in 2005. Jennifer has been providing nursing care in a number of different settings ever since, including hospitals, clinics, community health events and home-visits. Regardless of location, working with underserved populations such as the homebound, immigrant, and unhoused remains a priority in her care.

In an effort to blend family life with her nursing passion, Jennifer and her husband John created Wildwood Wellness Studio. The studio houses an on site art therapy center and on the flip side Jennifer can continue her nursing in the community through her portable medical foot care service.

Recycled into objects of art

At Wildwood Wellness Studio, we believe in reusing and recycling used materials into objects that express and put physical representation to our emotions. What better way to honor Mother Earth than to restore what was discarded into pieces that help us move forward.

Love from our clients

Living a busy life as a mother, wife, nurse, and business owner, it is not often I get to focus on my own needs. As soon as you enter the beautiful Wildwood property, you can feel a sense of relief from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Jennifer created an art retreat that allowed for healing and rejuvenation, carefully tailoring her space and offerings to our group. I look forward to inviting many more friends, and loved ones to this healing space. I would like to extend my gratitude out to Jennifer and Wildwood Wellness Studio.

I met Jenn years ago at our kids' school. She has always been a lovely, kind and caring person. After my husband passed away in Sept of 2019 Jenn began inviting to me to come out to her studio. I am a creative person and have always enjoyed making art. This space is magical for my heart. The studio is comfortable, serene, calming and always so full of inspiration. I especially love to examine the art pieces that are created using pieces of nature from around this area, and the art take uses "trash" and items that have already been used but remain to find another life as part of art. The very best part of this studio is Jenn herself. Every time I have come out here, Jenn has thoughtfully written some meditations on grief, actively thinking about my current emotional or mental state and she makes my time here such a lovely, personal and enjoyable experience. I have been out here a handful of times, and each time has been unique and so delightful. Jenn is an amazing lady and I cannot recommend her and this studio enough! Thank you!

Wildwood is such a beautiful and tranquil place. Every time I have been here to do art therapy I come into the space in a hurry with a list of things to be done and not done rattling around in my mind. The hour that I spend there invariably calms and centers me, not decreasing the chaos of life but giving me a respite from it and an opportunity to recuperate and reevaluate priorities. And I get to spend time with Jenn! The very best part of this studio is Jenn herself.

Wildwood is a truly special place of comfort and healing. John and Jenn have created a beautiful and safe space for everyone to feel that being vulnerable is okay. I was initially reluctant to Jenn’s invitation to try art therapy after my (AMAZING) father passed away. I’m a private person and was afraid my emotions would betray me. Well, turns out they did. My eyes shed so many tears during Jenn’s mindfulness meditations, during our easy-unscripted talks and on every ride back home. I just always felt welcomed to be real and honest without any judgment. The art I’ve created at Wildwood would certainly never sit in a museum but when I look at it my heart feels more than just grief. Right now, this sense of healing is the currency I value most. Thank you Wildwood for letting me process my feelings. Jenn is gentle and honest. She is a healer. I appreciate all the time I’ve spent at Wildwood.
