Jenn is a resident of Erie and is excited to build relationships in the local community, and help her clients find their unique path to self-care and healing. After being forced to slow down and re-evaluate priorities during the pandemic, she made the decision to learn a new approach to therapy as the world began to suffer from touch deprivation and isolation.  Humans are fundamentally conditioned for connection and throughout 2020 we experienced an unexpected struggle to maintain the most basic components of mental and physical health. Jenn graduated from the Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy in 2021 and is excited to offer a new, more comprehensive approach to health. She uses a combination of anatomy, psychology, physical touch and intuition to formulate a specialized plan with clients based upon their goals.
