Jennifer brings over 25 years experience in
healthcare, education and practice management to the
table, so to speak. And she knows, firsthand, what
it is like to suffer a debilitating medical
condition. While recovering from her own illnesses,
Jennifer's life radically altered. Left with an
intimate knowledge of what people endure physically,
emotionally and spiritually when they lose their
health, her personal journey and recovery made it
clear that the most unbearable of circumstances can
be transcended to reclaim empowered life. She
continues to create practices that support balanced,
empowered life.
With compassion and appreciation for the resiliency
of the human spirit, Jennifer chose to make a
difference on a palpable level, and opened her doors
in 2000 as a massage therapist.
Her clients bring a range of concerns from migraine
headaches to cerebral palsy; sports injuries to
fibromyalgia; low back pain to post-surgical
recovery or simply unacceptable levels of day-to-day
stress. Customizing each massage to her clients’
individual needs, her youngest client is 8 years
old; the oldest 90. Jennifer’s job is to decrease
and eliminate her clients’ unnecessary pain such
that they can enjoy and participate fully in their
lives.
Working gently initially, she prepares her clients
for deeper work that can release chronically tight
muscles and tissues. When appropriate, Jennifer
provides instruction in simple exercises and posture
practices that clients can easily do at home. These
simple practices can re-educate muscles to behave in
ways that enhance rather than compromise the body’s
form and function.
Her clients who have undergone knee replacement, hip
replacement and other surgical procedures know the
benefits of both pre- and post-operative massage.
Prior to surgery, massage can minimize stress and
anxiety levels. And post-operative massage, once
approved by the client’s medical doctor, can
minimize scar tissue, shorten recovery time and
compliment any physical therapy regime.
Jennifer is known in the Alameda community of
complementary health providers for producing
results. Continually awed and humbled by the body’s
ability and desire to heal it’s self, Her commitment
is to provide the assistance each client requires to
begin their journey to enhanced, empowered
well-being.
