Jennifer Salos, MS, CNC
Jennifer is a nationally Certified Nutritional Consultant and Diplomat of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Media Arts from Duquesne University and a Master’s of Science degree in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health. She is the founder of Chesapeake Holistic Health Center and has been on the leading edge of the natural health movement for almost 25 years.
After experiencing a debilitating health crisis in her 20s where several doctors and specialists and test after test revealed no answers and no help, Jennifer turned fear and frustration into action by seeking out natural and alternative methods to heal herself. Her search led to a Holistic Nutritionist who guided her on healing dietary strategies, supplements, herbs, and lifestyle modification. When she was well enough to go back to work in TV Sports Jennifer had an overwhelming feeling that her calling was to help people that weren’t getting better with traditional medicine heal themselves using science-based natural health strategies.
Jennifer pioneered the use of leading-edge bio-communication technologies in the greater Annapolis area. She continues to study new technology and healing strategies passionately and brings new ideas and healing modalities to the practice. She has helped thousands reach their vibrant living goals and is grateful to be able to be a part of their journey.
Jennifer has a passion for travel, reading, and spending time on the Chesapeake Bay. Jennifer’s son Ken pursued a career in photography and then created his dream of owning a fishing charter business in Florida. Her daughter Summer is studying dance and business at Slippery Rock University.
Katherine A. Sale, MSW, MAc, LAc, CNC
“As the Spirit takes the journey towards healing, the mind and body travel more gently when they are supported.”
This saying embodies Katherine’s healing work and service to others. She has a 35-plus-year career in holistic wellness including integrative energy therapies and transformational counseling. She is a Nationally Board Certified and Maryland-licensed Acupuncturist (with certification in Acupuncture Detoxification); is a Certified Nutritional Consultant; and has two master’s degrees, one in Five Element Acupuncture and another in Psychiatric Social Work. Those credentials just scratch the surface of Katherine’s experience and education! As well, she has specialized training in bioresonance therapies, applied kinesiology/muscle response testing, and biological decoding (Hamer). Katherine has also worked clinically in psychiatry, pediatric oncology and hematology, general pediatrics, hospice, and bereavement.
In 2002, her longstanding interest in immune function, allergies and food sensitivities led her to collaborate extensively with Dr. Ellen Cutler, MD, DC (author of The Food Allergy Cure). Katherine then became a Certified Advanced BioSET Practitioner; and for more than 20 years, she has applied her clinical experience to work extensively with infants, children and adults experiencing health and emotional disorders especially those exacerbated by food allergies.
Several years ago, Katherine designed her BioClear Sensitivity Treatment protocol. It’s modeled on BioSET, but with a broader focus to include a wider range of non-allergen sensitivities.
Apart from an unquenchable desire to learn and broaden her knowledgebase, Katherine's personal interests include travel, exploring new cultures (she's lived in both Japan and Italy), theatre, movies & the arts... and most of all, spending time with her daughters and her growing family.

Dr. Kimberly Weir, LAc, DOm
Kimberly is an Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist with a master’s degree in Chinese Herbs and Oriental Medicine, and a doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, both from Maryland University of Integrative Health.
Her interest in alternative wellness began well after completing her bachelor’s degree at the University of Wisconsin in Animal Science. For ten years, she worked in medical research for the Medical College of Wisconsin and had papers published. At that point, Kimberly believed everything had to be proven; she had no idea Chinese Medicine would eventually become her passion.
It was when Kimberly took up horse-showing at a farm (which stabled extremely expensive show horses) she began to see ‘the unproven’. If a horse went lame, the farm manager would call in an acupuncturist. Kimberly couldn’t understand why the manager didn’t call a veterinarian. But she watched and learned. As Kimberly observed the horses being treated, she noticed they would immediately get up and run off, as if there was never pain at all. This was her introduction to acupuncture.
Since then, starting in 2010, Kimberly practiced acupuncture and Chinese medicine at Maryland University of Integrative Health while finishing her doctorate. In 2014, she opened Annapolis Acupuncture and Integrative Healing (which became Annapolis Doctors of Acupuncture) before joining Chesapeake Holistic in 2023.
Kimberly grew up in a Chicago suburb but now lives in Severna Park with her husband, Jeff, and their dog Smokey. She has two fully grown stepchildren, Bernard Jr. and Katie, and two grandchildren. In her downtime, she and Jeff and enjoy sports (they’re Ravens and Orioles fans), activities on the Chesapeake Bay, and socializing with friends and family.

Equally important, Jill is very knowledgeable about holistic wellness and all our protocols. If you have any questions about which of our services or specialists is right for you, call Jill. You may also want to ask about her very own Chesapeake Holistic success story: a remarkable journey back to health and truly vibrant living using natural strategies.
