MISSION

Our bodies are made to move!

Fortunately for us, the human body is extremely adaptive and resilient!

I found my passion in helping others achieve optimal wellness so they can live and feel their best and never have to stop doing the things they love. As a result, everyone can have the opportunity to experience all life has to offer!

My ultimate goal is to provide each client with the knowledge and resources that they can take control of their own health outcomes. I love empowering my clients through education. After working with me, you will have less pain and discomfort, become a much better mover, more knowledgable about your own body, will know exactly how to mitigate injury, and feel overall empowered & stronger!

ABOUT THE OWNER

Hola, Im Jen! I feel so much gratitude knowing that someone brought you to my page and I couldn’t be more excited to meet you and guide you in your journey towards a better life!

Here’s a little about my background - as you will see, I am super passionate about all things health, movement, and longevity.

I am originally from Northern VA, where I graduated as a double duke with a Masters & Bachelors in Health Science from James Madison University. After University, I began my career as an Adjunct Professor and full-time Personal Trainer at my local gym. It was in these two jobs that I quickly learned how our movement potential was the foundation to reaching our fullest potential.

In 2018 I relocated to Arizona for the sunshine and outdoor lifestyle. After MUCH debate to go back to Physical Therapy School or go to Massage School, I finally decided to go to Massage school and I’m so glad!! I specialize in pain management, injury prevention, and optimizing performance through my unique integration of manual therapy & many years in the health and fitness industry.

I bring extensive knowledge with my Masters in Exercise Science & Nutrition and 10+ years working in the fitness industry. I am research driven and value lifelong learning to ensure I always provide the best practices to my clients. My goal is to help as many people feel and move better so they can effortlessly eliminate chronic disease, get rid of the need for pain pills and surgeries all by simply living an active fulfilled lifestyle!

OUTSIDE THE STUDIO:

  • I love being outdoors! I have a german shepherd who I love to take hiking (when its not too hot) or on road trips!

  • On the weekendyou can find me hiking, at the lake/river, or taking dance lessons.

  • I love -- doing hard things. I am fascinated w/ challenging the mind and body b/c we are such resilient beings. Getting out of your comfort zone I believe is one of the best ways to grow.

  • Simple things that I enjoy the mostCoffee shops, a good book, plants :)

  • All things self-development there is something about being able to share my knowledge as much as possible to help empower and heal others. I believe each and every one of us has the ability to heal themselves, sometimes they just need guidance.

  • Our bodies are made to moveweightlifting, walking/hiking, kettlebell flows, animal flow, & dancing are my favs!

  • Brining community together! Once a month I plan a community health event to bring like-minded individuals together to connect & grow!

  • WandererI love to travel & learn about other cultures and customs. This year I went to Europe for the first time & it BLEW my mind and honestly changed the way I see health in the U.S. This year I will be going to Costa Rica. Give me recommendations!

  • If you’re in my car you’ll hearreggaeton, salsa, bachata, country, classic rock

  • Phrase of the year (2024) Health & Wealth

  • Goal for 2025 — Create a facility with functional massage & movement therapists who value growth, education, and empowering their clients! There is a HUGE need for alternative medicine as BigPharma continues to mask symptoms, creating more dysfunction in the body, and just wants to make the most money. If you, or you know anyone who aligns with this movement, shoot me an email & lets connect!

FAQs

What should I wear?

Males: Exercise shorts & t-shirt.

Females: Exercise shorts and a sports bra or bathing suit top (preferably one with the least amount of straps in the back to be able to access the most tissue or tank top that is easy to maneuver).

Is cupping an additional fee?

No! I include all the techniques and tools I use in the price. I don’t believe in up-charging for tools or pressure like many other therapists; I believe in providing the best results for my clients independent of what I use to help bring you results :)

How often should I come in?

Depends on the issue:

If dealing with a chronic issue, I typically will recommend 1x/week until we see tissue change, then move to every 2 or 3 weeks until we reach our goals! Throughout our sessions, I provide mobility homework for you to do between sessions. This will help tissue correction as well as helping to allow more time in between sessions.

If the goal is recovery or maintenance, typically every 2-3 weeks will help to improve performance and mitigate injury.

Everyone’s body & situation is different, so this can vary.

What session durations do you offer?

Sessions vary from 45 min to 2 hours depending on the goal! Shorter sessions might be directed toward just mobility work or spot specific treatment. Longer sessions are preferred for those experiencing pain or want a mix of massage and mobility, or massage and stretch therapy. After the initial assessment, I will be able to provide you with better idea of which would work best for you.

Do you accept HSA/FSA?

Yes!

What does the first session entail?

Your 1st session is 90 min and includes: postural assessment, passive and active movement assessments, thorough medical history, goal setting + treatment time. Ask about the first time client discount!

Do you offer memberships or packages?

I believe memberships are often created by businesses just for your reoccurring revenue and not for the best interest of the client. I know when I was “stuck” in a membership it was always difficult to get out of. That is not my goal, my goal is to get you better. Instead, I offer 8 & 10 session packs which helps you bundle & save if you decide you want to establish a health plan. These are to be used within one calendar year of purchase so if you only use 4 sessions out of 10 aimed towards your current issue, you still have 6 you can use for maintenance work! I can assure you they will never go to waste =)
