Jennifer graduated from Marquette University in 2008 with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT). She began her career with a focus on neurological rehabilitation and pediatrics. After working several years in hospital centers in Texas, California and Illinois she found herself wishing could do more to help her patients truly thrive and feel at home in their bodies. She believes in an integrative and holistic view to health care, self-care and the healing journey. Jennifer began her own integrative health care journey as a patient determined to find a way to genuine healing and to thrive. She began taking courses to advance her own health and education and pursued areas of specialty in myofascial release and women’s health. She believes that therapeutic care can often be the first step in self-care and that combined they can bring about powerful results and authentic healing. She enjoys running and spending time outside especially near moving water, cooking with vibrant colors and sharing time with family and friends.
