Meet the Maple Leaf Health and Wellness team
Our team
Janae has been a physician assistant for 10 years with a strong foundation in exercise physiology and advanced training in functional and nutrition-focused medicine. Her passion lies in hormone optimization, preventative wellness, weight loss, and longevity-focused care.
She has experience across urgent care, primary care, orthopedics, and currently practices in a health and wellness clinic-bringing a well-rounded, patient-centered approach to care.
Janae lives in Starke County and is especially excited to serve her local community, offering access to wellness-focused care in a small-town setting where options are often limited. She truly believes in practicing what she preaches, both personally and professionally.
Outside of the clinic, Janae enjoys life with her husband and daughter. Together they love to adventure, ski in the winter, and care for their growing backyard petting zoo-including a donkey, pony, goats, and two new puppies.
We are thrilled to have Janae bringing her heart for wellness back home.
