Marja van Ouwerkerk, PA-C

"Marja is a Physician Assistant with MorningStar since 2013 after 16 years of practice in the Flemington area. Her gentle manners and strong interests in preventive health and helping patients learn self-management skills complement our philosophy at MorningStar Family Health Center. She completed the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy’s full year course and brings Health Coaching to MorningStar’s Foundations for Optimal Health Program. She enjoys helping our program members set and move toward their health goals. Her previous career as an environmental engineer as well as interests ranging from Choral Group Singing, Square Dancing to Mycology make for interesting conversations."

"MorningStar is not your average Family Medicine Practice. Our goal is to empower you to NOT be dependent on doctors and the health care system. Imagine that! So how do we do this? Well, education is the bottom line. We want you to be educated in the foundational elements of taking care of your human body so that you can activate the self-healing properties of your body. Root cause resolution is also key, by finding and resolving the underlying cause of your symptoms, real health can be achieved."
