Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner

Jennifer L. Bryant is a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in medicine. She holds a Master of Science in Nursing from Regis College in Massachusetts, along with a Master of Science in Health Science with a focus in Public Health from Trident University in California.

Before joining Innerve8 Medical, Jennifer served in both military and civilian healthcare settings. As a retired Army Veteran, she brings a wealth of experience caring for people in diverse and often challenging environments. Over the course of her career, she has practiced family medicine, urgent care, occupational health, public health, and functional and regenerative medicine. Her training includes specialized Pain management therapies such as biofeedback and battlefield acupuncture.

Jennifer’s philosophy is simple: to treat each patient holistically. She focuses not only on the specific injury or source of pain, but also on the contributing factors that affect overall health and healing. She takes time to listen to her patients, understand their concerns, and create personalized treatment plans that reflect both their medical needs and their personal goals. She is especially passionate about bridging the gap between conventional and regenerative medicine, offering advanced options such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and exosome therapy to support the body’s natural healing process.

Lina Scheele is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a Masters of Science in Nursing and over a decade of experience in wellness education and healthcare. She completed her BSN and MSN at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. She is currently a member AANP Pain Management and Orthopedics. Her previous experience includes Urgent Care and Dermatology, as well as health coaching. “My approach to healthcare is treating my patients as a whole; focusing not simply on a patient’s specific physical injury or pain, but evaluating all of the contributing factors. I want my patients to feel that their concerns are heard and that they have a provider who genuinely cares about achieving the best outcomes in their care”. In her spare time, Lina enjoys being with her family outdoors, hiking, camping and traveling.
