About Jessica

Founder of four practices. Homeschooling mom. Homesteader. Entrepreneur. Leader of women.

Jessica Pawlicki is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, best-selling author, and the visionary founder of Well-Rooted, a holistic healthcare practice rooted in the mission of uncovering and addressing the root cause of illness across all ages. With a deep commitment to whole-person care, Jessica blends conventional and functional medicine to serve families seeking answers beyond the surface.

Jessica earned her nursing degree from Chamberlain College of Nursing and her Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Olivet Nazarene University. Alongside launching Well-Rooted, she also served as a graduate-level instructor, sharing her knowledge and passion with the next generation of nurse practitioners. She is a proud member of the American Holistic Nurses Association, standing firmly in her belief that true healing integrates mind, body, and spirit. She holds training and certifications in several areas in Functional Medicine including a Certified Mold Provider, which she achieved after dealing with mold illness herself.

As a contributor to the best-selling book Slaying Chicago, Jessica’s story continues to inspire women to rise above adversity and step fully into their purpose. Beyond her professional achievements, Jessica is a devoted wife and mother of two, homeschooling her children while keeping up with the energy and excitement of their travel sports schedule.

When she’s not seeing patients or teaching, you can find Jessica enjoying the simplicity of homesteading, exploring new places with her family, or dreaming up new ways to empower others through holistic living.

Well-Rooted began as a vision and has grown into a thriving, purpose-driven practice—proving that when passion meets intention, healing happens at the root.

Jessica, Jacki and all the Well Rooted Staff are amazing. Our Pediatrician retired a few years back and we were in limbo for several years, never feeling like any Dr we saw actually listened to us. After our 1st visit at Well Rooted we knew we finally found “the one”. They listen and take the time to discuss options. They support the patient and put YOU 1st.

I’m so grateful we found this practice, I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking a new pediatrician. Their facility is spotless, their technology is wonderful, and most importantly their doctors take time in answering your questions and provide so much insight and knowledge to the medical care of your kids. Thank you Well Rooted Pediatrics!!!

Jessica is the absolute BEST! We brought our newborn daughter to Well-Rooted days after she was born for her first appointment with Jessica and she took excellent care of her/us. Extremely informative and made us feel very comfortable with any questions we had. We are very confident in our choice with Well-Rooted and are going to continue to see Jessica as long as we live in the area. Highly recommended!

This place has been a blessing to my family. We come from Aurora and don’t mind the drive. The whole staff and the DR are very knowledgeable and helpful. This is our first baby and in great hands.
