Jennifer has been a Manual Osteopath since 2015 and a Massage Therapist since 2002. She’s very passionate about her work, loves the challenge each new client brings, and says it’s like putting pieces of a puzzle together.

Her ultimate focus is pain management and restoration of mobility. She wants to ensure her clients can live pain-free lives to their fullest potential. Jennifer is also fluent in French to service more people.

Skilled and Knowledgeable With a focus on osteoarticular corrections and myofascial soft tissue release, which feels like a very deep tissue massage, Jennifer is able to provide relief to her clients. This care method assists in moving bones and helping the bones stay in proper alignment, creating new memories and eliminating old memories in the surrounding tissues.

Her hands are strong enough to get to the deepest layers of muscle tissue, but her touch is gentle yet soothing enough that she can manipulate around sensitive tissues. She’s very intuitive and sometimes puts everything she knows scientifically aside, trusts her discernment, and keeps searching through all the other systems until she finds what’s precisely wrong, then works with you to alleviate it.

Outside the Practice In her free time, Jennifer likes to spend quality time with her child. They absolutely love going to the mountains to recharge and energize themselves in nature. She enjoys the simple things in life, such as camping, hiking, swimming, and the outdoors.

Care That Suits You At our practice, Jennifer looks to educate her clients, so they know what she’s doing and why she’s doing it. She gives everyone specific information so they can confidently go home and care for their own little aches and pains.

During your session, Jennifer will ask for your feedback so she can adjust her technique and resolve your issues as efficiently as possible. If you require a quiet massage or session, she will also accommodate that.
