About Joanne Peters Steele
and JSteele Wellness
Dr. Joanne Peters Steele (who prefers to be called Joanne) has had the privilege of caring for women and families for more than 3 decades. She has been a labor unit nurse and a public health nurse prior to becoming a nurse midwife and ob/gyn nurse practitioner, and then a nursing professor. Her commitment to education led her to become the Founding Chair of Nursing at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY. Her love of knowledge and her strong commitment to finding the "root cause" of symptoms led her to earn a PhD in Natural Health and to study Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. She is a Certified Women's Health Specialist who takes a holistic, integrative and functional approach in caring for the health of women.
While Joanne could retire and pursue her many hobbies and activities, she feels that she has been called back to the service of others to provide true health care in the presence of other like-minded practitioners and healers.

About Kate Steinberg
Just as we speak of holistic care and how all of our "parts" are related to each other in a holistic fashion, I believe that holistic practitioners fill different roles in a way that completes care. While Kate is not an employee and does not share the office space, she is an important piece of the holistic puzzle
Kate Steinberg is a nutritionist with a passion for holistic and functional wellness. She holds a Masters Degree in Nutrition and spent two years clinically researching immune system development, dysfunctions and metabolism. In 2020, she left the world of corporate nutrition behind after the birth of her first child and began working individually with women as they navigate complex health challenges and/or the childbearing years.
Producing much of her family’s own food from their land is a source of joy in her life and also lends a front seat to the impact of quality of food and nutrition. You might hear her say that nothing exists in a vacuum, and you’ll know that she’s keen on seeing you as a whole person and understanding the language that your body is trying to share. Wellness is a journey, not merely the destination, and Kate can help to provide the legend to decode the signposts along your way.
Kate owns the practice Nourish + Love Nutrition and can be reached at kate.nourishlovenutrition@gmail.com
JSteele Wellness can be found in Greenwich NY within the Whipple City Health and Wellness Center which is part of Whipple City Chiropractic
​Philosophy: This practice closely follows the philosophy and science of caring of the nurse theorist, Jean Watson. We believe that we are the "sum of our parts" and when we look at wellness and illness we have to look at how all the parts work together so that the body is "at ease" and not "dis-eased". In this practice we take the time to understand that even though one part of the body is caring the symptoms, the root of the problem may be actually inches or feet away from the symptomatic area. This approach is unlike conventional medical care and often requires true detective work to get to the root of the "disease". We will take the time to try to find the answer.
We believe that people deserve a thorough physical examination for the annual exam and time is allotted to do just that.
We believe in testing instead of guessing about what might be wrong. We offer hormonal, GI, food sensitivity and other testing and offer more conventional testing through Labcorp through our office.
We believe that everyone should receive kind and knowledgeable care and offer several of our services that don't require physical examination in a virtual format through zoom.
We believe that people who need to take supplements should have access to quality products that will help them on their healing journey. If we suggest a supplement, it is because we know that it works and is not filled with fillers (sawdust) that are cheap and ineffective.
We would love to chat on the phone, but we also know that we need to take time with people who have appointments, so we will respond to you through our website. You may email but if you are needing to talk about or send information, please help us be HIPAA compliant and use https://sendsafe.to/jsteelewellness@gmail.com
