massage therapy
with Jenny
Meet Jenny,
your friendly neighborhood massage therapist

In early adulthood, I began to take an holistic approach to my health. The mind-body-spirit connection, natural medicine, whole foods--these were all new concepts for me at the time, and opened me to a way of living that has a foundation in self-care and self-awareness. I left my corporate job in the Midwest and moved to San Francisco, where I studied shiatsu massage and colon hydrotherapy and practiced both for three years. I then decided to pursue a master's degree in Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine in Portland, OR, which really altered my worldview and increased my appreciation of the magnificence of the human body.
About halfway through grad school, I became pregnant with twins,
and my winding career path took a long pause. In 2016 my family moved to Maryland, and a few years later I decided to revisit massage therapy as a profession. In early 2021, I graduated from the Potomac Massage Training Institute. Because of my interest in Chinese Medicine, I learned cupping not long after, and love incorporating this into sessions. I continue to explore the restoration of balance in the body by addressing the relationship between our fascia and our nervous system.
I'm so grateful to be in a profession that allows me to have a meaningful impact on those around me. I hope that by receiving massage, my clients will have less anxiety and stress, realize the potential for easeful movement and decreased discomfort, and feel cared for. I have personally experienced and have observed for others that bodywork strengthens the mind-body-spirit connection and encourages all these aspects of self to heal. My style of bodywork is intuitive, creative and nurturing.
