Where Western & Eastern Medicine Collide
Offering Integrative Primary Care and Functional Medicine Health Coaching, virtually, at your convenience.
It is my goal to get your feeling the best you have ever felt, while working towards longevity. Different types of care are needed for different bodies, ailments and imbalances. At times conventional modalities and testing can work well for patients, while other times, a deeper dive is needed. This is where the depth of Functional Medicine comes into play.
Medicine is not a one size fits all and your care should be uniquely fitted to work for YOU.
Why Functional Medicine?
Functional and Integrative medicine are forms of medicine that utilize conventional and holistic forms of medicine to tackle the root cause of disease. It is an individualized, science-based approach to health that takes the best forms of all medicine that date back over five thousand years.
With over 17 years of training in health, nutrition, trauma therapy, fitness, and modern and alternative medicine, we take knowledge and evidence-based research to get to the root cause of your health imbalances.
Jacqueline is truly a remarkable asset to my health journey. She takes so much time in each session to truly listen. She has taken good care of my health as well as a few of my family members. In this day and age it is truly rare to feel seen and heard by your medical provider. She helped me rebuild my health from the ground up, addressing the root cause of my hormone and gut issues as well as mental health. I will forever be grateful to her.

Ok....so how do I get started?
Patients will book their first call with me and get established into the practice. On that call we discuss a deep dive into your whole health. At the end of your call we can decide which monthly option you fit into best; a health maintenance plan for primary care or a deep dive functional medicine plan. Many patients start out working on a Functional Medicine plan to reverse chronic gut issues, hormone issues, weight loss struggles or chronic allergies or infections and when we get them most of the way there, usually at the 6-8 month mark, they drop down to the regular health maintenance plan and become a primary care patient. This time frame will vary with each individual. Many patients will come into the practice as an integrative primary care patient where they do not have any chronic issues but just want to establish care for if and when acute stuff occurs or to have yearly blood work done and check ups.

Hi, I'm Jacqueline!
I am a Nurse Practitioner based in St. Augustine, Florida.
For as long as I can remember I was interested in more natural ways of living. My grandparents grew their own vegetables in a big, back yard garden long before Farm to Table was a thing. We lost my father prematurely in 2006. Shortly after, I began to try and understand how and why the medical system failed him. I would go on to became a bedside nurse and practice in Oncology for one year. I went on to do six years in Cardio-Thoracic Surgery as a heart nurse at Yale, Penn Medicine, and Johns Hopkins. I completed my graduate studies at Chamberlain University and went on to work as a Nurse Practitioner in Internal Medicine and Family Practice. In 2018, my path lead me to become a patient of the wonderful Dr. Stephan Cabral and two years later, I began training with him in Functional and Integrative Medicine. I am board certified in Family Medicine, Ortho-Molecular Medicine, and Bioregulatory Medicine. I am also trained in Indian Medicine and the science of Ayurveda. I pride myself in taking the best of all forms of medicine and merging them in a unique way to find the root cause of imbalances your body.
My schooling and nursing career were overshadowed with 15 years of my own battle with chronic illness while being told that I had no foreseeable road to recovery. I became no stranger to suffering under the veil of misdiagnosis upon misdiagnosis. I had chronic gut issues that spiraled into three auto immune conditions, mold toxicity and chronic infections. Through the work of Functional and Integrative Medicine and a lot of faith and patience, I healed. I am thankful now to be turning that suffering into silver lining....to help each and every one of my patients find THEIR healing.
My Mission
Sankalpa was born out of a dream and a deep desire to help those who feel they have slipped through the cracks of conventional medical treatment and were told there were no answers to their conditions. It is a collaborative place where medicine could be so much MORE than just a prescription for a drug to mask symptoms.
It is a vision with a purpose, born in memory of my father, Mark Griffin.
What My Patients Say
As someone who has suffered with chronic illness for years, I was looking for something different. I was lucky enough to be connected with Jacqueline Griffin.
Jacqueline didn’t just treat my symptoms, she listened to me and provided me with guidance and knowledge of how to address the root causes of my issues.
She has always made me feel individually important, and I know she is invested in my overall health and happiness. Jacqueline is a medical provider who feels more like a trusted friend. If you are looking to live a more enriched life, I can not recommend her enough.
Cortney Blankenship, Florida
I’ve known Jacqueline for over four years and have worked with her for over two years as a client. I can attest that she wholeheartedly cares about her client’s wellbeing. She took the time to do a very thorough intake and really hear me out to get to the root cause of my health issues as she sees a whole person and not just a list of symptoms and diagnoses. She is compassionate and holds a wealth of knowledge- far beyond most; which comes from her conventional training and years in nursing paired with many years of her own illness and healing story. She has a vast amount of contining education and actual life experience with her own personal struggles to regain her health. Because of this, she is the most empathetic medical professional I’ve come across in my healing journey. Jacqueline is open minded and takes the time to teach her clients how to tune into their bodies and heal themselves with the right tools. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants regain control of their health and life, you absolutely cannot go wrong with her on your team!
