Jesse Haas, CNS, LN

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." - Virginia Woolf

Jesse Haas is a heart-centered and deeply intuitive nutritionist. She approaches each client with a holistic perspective, taking into consideration not just the mind, body and spirit, but also life schedule, stresses and personal preferences to curate a nutrition plan that is unique to the individual. Jesse shows up as a partner in her client’s wellness, not the boss. She combines nutritional counseling and whole foods culinary education to help her clients understand why they’re not feeling well and how to change that one meal at a time. Jesse offers meal planning, cooking and wellness workshops and programs.

Jesse is co-founder of Wellness Minneapolis. She has been working in holistic health care since 2005, when she entered the field as a massage therapist. Jesse’s career trajectory took a sharp turn from music performance to health care when she fell head over heels in love with the human body in her first anatomy class. The more she studied the body, the more she wanted to know…and the more she wanted to discover the things that humans can do to reduce their suffering. Pain, fatigue, attention deficit, depression, hypertension, even cancer are diseases and dysfunctions rooted in our daily eating and lifestyle habits. Our natural state is wellbeing and Jesse believes that that is available to all people.

This is the motivation that drives Jesse’s insatiable curiosity and passion for wellness. Jesse is constantly learning and exploring in this ever-changing and fascinating field. She has special interests in cancer and mental health. With a dedication to equity, Jesse offers sliding scale options for BIPOC and GLBTQ+ individuals (see below).

In her life outside of the clinic, Jesse is an avid gardener, knitter and cook. A country girl at heart, she feels most at home watching the sunset over a lake.

Testimonials

I can’t even begin to explain how much has changed for me! I’m not bloated or sick feeling all the time, I’m building muscle mass for the first time in 5 years! My skin is more clear and my skin color is no longer greyish. I think now I am much more knowledgeable about what a balanced meal is and how to eat clean and happy! - R.S.

Thank you so much for all of your teaching, coaching, and support. I feel that nutrition was a critical missing piece in my overall health and happiness. You helped me see the connection between food and mental/emotional health and not just physical health. This has made a big impact on me and I feel I will be able to take these habits with me wherever I go. - Rob

I had a wonderful and enlightening experience with Jesse. She helped me think about feeding my mind and body in new and healthy ways. I do much more meal planning and cut myself a lot more slack than I used to so I can enjoy my food and not restrict myself so much. She taught me how to be self confident in my food choices. She is a great coach and teacher.

Jesse is attentive to all aspects of my health and empowers me to make long-term improvements. She is always open to finding health solutions that work for my lifestyle and excited to celebrate my successes! - Leigh

In September of last year I was close to having a stroke and in poor health, had diabetes, and my doctor told me that I needed gastric bypass surgery. I weighed 331 lbs and had no energy.
Then I found Jesse Haas and have been regularly working with her to improve my diet and health.
The Results:
1. In the first six months I lost 55 lbs without going hungry.
2. I am no longer classified as diabetic.
3. I am now very healthy and living a very active life.
Summary: Jesse Haas has completely turned my life around and has been a big inspiration to me. I would highly recommend her. I am confident she can do the same for you. - Dan

The biggest thing I learned while working with Jesse is how everything is connected, from self care and awareness to the fruits and veggies on my plate, they all work together to make me the best me I can be. - Megan

Working with Jesse has been absolutely delightful. With her expertise and guidance, I've learned a completely new way to consider, prepare and consume food. My new lifestyle includes cooking, trying new foods and eating fat (my favorite!). Since I started coaching sessions, my ongoing tummy discomfort has decreased almost entirely. Jesse helped me realize that eating doesn't have to be a battle - I've found deep satisfaction in this new way of being. - Aly
