I am sitting here at Panera, as I always do after I drop off my middle schooler and wait for my tennis class. I wrapped up the work I am doing on blogs, emails, and courses and headed out to my car. The shirt that I spent...
In the past, it was very easy for me to keep pushing forward…pushing down feelings, emotions, and other messages from my body telling me it needs care. Over time, this protective, unrealized strategy has resulted in a gradual loss of my health, both emotionally and physically.
I work with an Integrative OB/GYN practice out of Irvine, California. It was during a ROUGH mental/emotional time in my life in which hormone imbalances in addition to past traumas and my mom's death and her journey with...
It’s physics, basic physics…but it’s hard to quantify in human tissue. And let’s be honest, there are many things about the amazing human body that we may never truly understand, which does not mean that they do not exist.
I explained how I observe specific movements…walking, throwing, cycling, even swimming, and how the trained eye can see where movement flows through the body with ease and where it doesn’t. When we have areas in the the body that don’t move well, the demand for movement is STILL there and gets transferred to another area of the body that was NOT designed to handle that load – leading to increased strain on joints, muscles, and tissues over time.
I used to push myself until I’d crash and burn, get sick, fall into depression, wrestle with weight, have constant GI issues, cold sores, you name it. Yes, I had some cellular and dietary things I needed to address, but I was not giving my body the rest, peace, and pleasure that it needed to keep my nervous system healthy.
I’ve worked hard over the years, both in my own learning and with the wisdom of other professionals, to learn about my own barometer…how to know when my body is in a state of homeostasis, which is when all systems are working optimally together, in balance.
It’s GROW time here in Cleveland! The demand for elite Manual Physical problem solving and solutions is high as patients are not receiving the care and results they need from the big, insurance based systems.
I am looking for passionate therapists wanting to level up their skills, level up our profession, change lives, and love a career that loves them back!

“Jen offers a unique and amazingly comprehensive approach to movement, recovery and function. She is able to identify & address issues in multiple body systems that contribute to specific inefficiencies in movement and stability with extraordinary precision and effectiveness. After a single session, I could finally sleep and move in the morning without the constant and consistent back pain I’d had for several years despite previous PT, self-treatment and exercise. Someone finally could touch and treat “that spot” and the surrounding connections so I can not only move, but move without pain. The difference in my posture and walking was visible immediately and I can finally get those parts that felt blocked and inhibited to turn on. I am so excited and thankful to get out and use my back and legs. It feels like I can finally drive my body without the brake being stuck down.
Jen has the knowledge, education and training to address not only the orthopedic issues but to achieve to even greater levels of functional recovery for clients with her integration of the nervous and vascular systems to truly clear the drivers and contributors of dysfunction(s).”
