About

Jen graduated from Northeastern University's Physical Therapy program in 1996. Post graduation, she has worked with neurologic clients with spinal cord, brain, and CVA acute and sub-acute conditions. She has worked in wound care with hyperbaric oxygen and debridement. In those earliest years of her professional life, helping people recover from Total Joint Replacement surgeries and traumatic injuries was the focus.

Starting at 3 years out of Northeastern, through her health issues, she started a deep dive into an osteopathic continuing education program called Integrative Manual Therapy and received a full certification in 2005. This content was four additional years in myofascial, visceral, lymphatic, cranial sacral, somato-emotional, and nervous system work. She worked for the program Sharon Weiselfisch Giamatteo, developer for more than 10 years with an immersion level understanding of complicated conditions that did not recover from the usual interventions.

For three years, she undertook another expert-level mentorship training and collaboration with Dr. Jerome Weiss, MD, at the Pacific Center for Pelvic Pain, where she worked with severe pelvic pain conditions in men and women in San Francisco.

Since returning to the East Coast, she has been the Clinical Supervisor for a Spaulding Outpatient facility affiliated with Mass General Brigham in Boston, MA.

Three years ago, she returned to a cash-based practice when she opened Levity PT and Bodyworks in Natick, MA, to continue to serve her patients in a way that is not dictated by insurance companies and endless time-consuming paperwork that takes away from patient care that puts the client first. She has been teaching osteopathic Physical Therapy techniques outside of her practice and has recorded the content to reach a wider audience.

Beyond "Straight Teeth": A Multi-Pronged Journey Into Airway and Orthodontia
Many people think orthodontia is basically a one-lane road: teeth are crooked → put braces on → suffer through it → ta-da, “perfect smile.” (Very American. Very industrial. Very “just power through.”) But after 25 years as a Holistic Physical Therapist and Integrative Manual Therapist, and now as a mom watching my 8-year-old daughter  step onto this path, I can’t unsee what I’ve seen: crooked teeth are rarely just about teeth.  They’re often a giant blinking dashboard light for airway, tongue...

What does the peacemaking tendency of the feminine programming have to do with autoimmune disease?
How are you with addressing conflict in your life? Do you tip toe around it, avoid it and pretend it doesn’t bother you? Have you ever found yourself playing the peacemaker or “not rocking the boat?” The current data on women and auto immune statistics is that we have 78-80% of the caseload. I start this reflection piece by saying that in 1992, I was diagnosed with Lupus after a large blood clot in my leg, pulmonary emboli, and elevated ANAs in my blood, which started this learning...

Why I founded the Parent Bodywork Project.
Have you ever wanted to learn how to use your hands to help your kids at home? Do your kids struggle with ear, breathing, digestive problems or injuries? Are your kids really healthy overall, but you want to help them with ideal wellness or sports potential? Let's be real. Healthcare is broken. The care is limited to wait-and-see, fear-based, for-profit prescriptions, side effects, and surgeries. The good news? Parenting is powerful, and so are your hands! You can learn to help your kids'...
