With training in Holistic Massage, Thai Massage, Thai Medical Theory, Trager Psychophysical Integration, Acupressure, QiGong, Craniosacral, Reiki and Yoga Instruction, I blend a multitude of tools to bring healing on many levels.
Most recently, a certificate from Douglas College has given me the skills and resources to bring peace and meaning to the End of Life as a Death Doula.
Holistic = body-mind-spirit Whether you need to relieve pain, energize, or relax and be soothed, I incorporate traditional and contemporary techniques including Swedish, deep tissue, energy work, join mobility & psycho-physical movement retraining work, craniosacral therapy and, for those who wish to sample its grounding and soothing qualities, soundwork.
Thai Massage
Thai Massage is an ancient bodywork practice which combines acupressure, energy meridian work and yoga-like stretching. It balances energy lines by working along their meridians in the body. This is an Ayurvedic version of Shiatsu that encourages great relaxation and rejuvenation. I combine elements of Swedish massage and Trager work for a unique healing experience.
Foot Massage
A heavenly 1-hour pampering experience for your feet and calves which includes massage with a stimulating herbal cream, and reflexology. Acupressure points in the feet act as energetic conduits, stimulating other areas and the organs of the entire body. A great gift choice for seniors or those recovering from surgery!

Not everyone appreciates the physical body as an embodiment of story. In my sessions with Jennifer, I have felt like she ‘read’ the narration of my story, inscribed in muscle, tissue, and energy. She is a gifted bodyworker; both grounded and elevated!
