MEET OUR PRACTITIONERS
Jessica Cahen, M.S., CHN, CMES
Hi, I’m Jessica– busy mom of two sweet, spunky kiddos (and two crazy doggos!), and owner of Perfectionist Health. My in-person fitness and health & wellness practice is based out of Columbus, OH.
I earned a Masters Degree of Science in Exercise Physiology in 2001 from Ohio University. Over the last 20 years of practice, my love of knowledge and the desire to help my clients address complex issues motivated me to earn several additional certifications in the health and wellness field, including the designations of Holistic Nutritionist and Medical Exercise Specialist.
I’ve seen first-hand the power that simple improvements in lifestyle can have on restoring balance to the body and even reversing disease. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over these last two decades, it’s this: Successfully creating any positive change requires a smart, effective strategy. As a thinker and a problem-solver, I love to use my super-nerd strengths to devise a powerful solution to any challenge.
I’ve had the privilege to help hundreds of clients improve their lives through unique, highly-customized fitness and wellness plans–to sleep better, lose weight, create pain-free movement, and more. As my client, I’ll work closely with you to create customized strategies that work for you, seamlessly fitting into your life. I provide science and physiology-based information and resources you can add to your toolbox to create your own, perfect health & wellness strategies that keep you feeling healthy, happy, relaxed, and confident.
In my own life, my primary goal is to keep my family (and myself!) healthy and thriving. With busy days and a hectic family schedule, even I need simple, effective tools and strategies that I can work into my daily routine to keep everyone at their best!
After 25 years of helping hundreds of clients nail their fitness and wellness goals in my own consulting practice, I’ve drawn on all of my knowledge and experience, both as a practitioner and as a mom, to create a set of online courses and tools that can help anyone & everyone custom-build their own Personal Health Strategy.
Whether it’s building a better eating strategy, a strategic exercise plan to relieve joint and muscle pain, better sleep, weight loss, better digestive health, or hormone balance, I founded Perfectionist Health out of my passion to provide Simple Tools For Better Health to everyone.
So welcome, take a look around, and discover our ever-growing set of tools you can use to build your very own Personal Health Strategy.

Dorthea is a dedicated massage therapist and a graduate of Columbus School of Medical Massage.

Appreciation for natural healing techniques has grown with seeing and experiencing the benefits of hands-on therapy. Dorthea is also certified in a very gentle modality called Cranialsacral Fascia Therapy(CFT), which is based on the work of Dr Berry Gillespie and the theory that the Cranialsacral & Fascial systems are one interconnected system. It is a blend of Cranial Sacral Therapy(CST) and Myofascial Release, along with dental techniques developed from Dr Gillespie’s experience as a periodontist. CFT is used to address fascial strain on the nervous system and has powerful therapeutic effects which are beneficial for all ages- from infants to adults!
In her sessions, Dorthea uses Swedish massage techniques, along with muscle stretching and deep tissue work when needed. At times blending in CFT along with massage, and working with the nervous system to keep everything balanced and relaxed.

(614) 440-3646
Humans were made to move. I strongly believe this. Those who have active, adventurous lifestyles do too. When life piles on the stresses and breaks you down, you need someone to strengthen and build you back up. That’s where I come in!
My name is Stefan. Long struggles with chronic joint pain in my youth, and a desire to help others experiencing the same, drove me to become a bodyworker. I specialize in stress-relieving Swedish Massage, as well as more therapeutic Myofascial Release and Active Release Techniques (ART). Additionally, I’m Mastery Level Certified in Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT), an amazing bodywork technique used by everyone from pro athletes and weight lifters who want to boost their performance, to those desperate to free themselves from chronic aches, spasms and pains.
Since everyone is different, you can expect a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
I look forward to working with you.
