Jen has a passion for combining her manual skills with her ability to help others rediscover movement patterns or postures they may have thought weren’t possible again. She quickly fell in love with teaching and supporting patients in learning about how their bodies moved, to better manage their own dysfunctions. Nothing in the body works in isolation so treatment needs to have a holistic approach and a patient must be involved in caring for their own being. She loves to listen to a person’s body guide a treatment session to unlock the next stage of healing and restoration of movement. Jen believes that no movement is impossible at any age, it just hasn’t been unlocked yet. Whatever activities you enjoy she wants to help you get back those and not be focused on pain or limitations that made you seek care in the first place.
