Jenn is a registered physiotherapist at Rebalance Sport Medicine’s King & University location. She graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a Master’s in Physical Therapy in 2021 after earning a Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics from the University of Guelph in 2019.

Jenn’s practice regularly emphasizes the importance of movement with a strong focus on education while incorporating manual therapy, dry needling and progressive therapeutic exercise prescription. She provides an evidence-based, personalized treatment plan that is geared towards her patient’s specific goals. Jenn ensures that she is working alongside her patients and is passionate about empowering them to take an active role in their rehabilitation journey to reach their goals. She is a firm believer that movement is medicine and works to inform and motivate her patients to not only get active but to maintain that active lifestyle after they are done with treatment.

During her time at the University of Guelph, Jenn held a position as a Student Athletic trainer for the Varsity Men’s Basketball team where she acted as a first responder to treat acute injuries and provided athletic taping to players. Additionally, she has 18 years of competitive dance experience and is excited to incorporate her knowledge of movement and passion for sports-related injuries into her practice.

Jenn is certified to perform Acupuncture and Dry Needling and often uses it as part of her treatment plan when benefits are expected. She is also certified through the Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal (AIM) program and is currently completing her Level 3, which lends to her strong manual therapy skills and techniques. Jenn has also completed her Level 1 certification in Pelvic Health which gives her the edge in treating low back, hip and pelvic conditions. She is committed to continuing her education and plans to progress through both the AIM level system to achieve her fellowship (FCAMPT), as well as, complete advanced certifications in Pelvic Health.

Outside the clinic, Jenn enjoys staying active through taking dance classes, hiking and playing various sports. She also loves to travel and explore different places around the world!
