Bio

Jennie holds masters’ degrees in exercise science and social work.  She is certified as an Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine and as a Personal Trainer & Fitness Nutrition Specialist through the American Council on Exercise in addition to having further training in remedial exercise and senior fitness.  Her professional experience includes a broad array of roles since 2001.  For example, she has worked as the Wellness Coach for a large pharmaceutical corporation and alongside a physical therapist to provide patient care, education, & programming.  Her hybrid approach is informed by her experience as a practicing psychotherapist earlier in her career.
