ABOUT JEN

Jennifer combines both a clinical and holistic approach to tailor each treatment with care, thoughtfulness and dedication. The focus of her treatments are to help facilitate the restoration of balance, alignment and function. A desire to help others blossomed after realizing how effective massage can be after finding herself stuck in a cycle of stress, imbalance and pain.

She enjoys working with a wide variety of conditions from sports injuries to office desk posture, with an interest in neck pain, headaches, stress, anxiety and mental health.

Jennifer incorporates Swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, deep tissue, joint mobilization and athletic massage in her practice. Since graduating in 2012 from Sutherland-Chan, Toronto's leading massage therapy school, she has had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of patients with chronic illness, pain and injuries. She spent one year in San Francisco doing volunteer massage therapy in San Francisco General Hospital, Sutter Hospice and a TCM clinic.

MY APPROACH TO TREATMENT

When we come in for a massage we are usually in a lot of pain. We are sometimes frustrated, full of self loathing, wishing we were younger, wishing we were stronger, apologizing for not stretching enough, apologizing for not going to the gym enough or wishing we had a new body. We have all been there!

When I work with a client, I accept them for who they are that very moment. This is important because each tight muscle, broken bone, headache, injury and unique presentation is a product of who we are. It is a representation of our hard work, our genetics, our story, the hours spent at a desk, holding our children, our depression, our determination, our illness, our joy.

While I do want to direct my clients toward their goals and reaching a place that is pain free, I instinctively let the body guide me. I not only listen to the client’s concerns, but I also listen very intently to what their body is saying. Together we are a team, creating a treatment that is comfortable and custom made to meet you at where you are today to achieve where you will be tomorrow.
