Jenn is a graduate from Lincoln Technical Institute in Somerville, MA class of January 2023, after completing her clinicals at Water house in December 2022. Her studies focused on Swedish Techniques and Deep Tissue work, and she’s recently taken continuing ed in Traditional Thai Mat Massage as well as Integrative Stretching. She is excited to continue learning new modalities and techniques throughout her career. 

She originally started with massage as a recreational thing for friends and family. She was previously a graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I., with a Bachelor’s in Baking and Pastry Arts and Food Service Management, starting out in bakery retail. With the plan to kind of always stay in the hospitality field and Covid making it hard to stay in a bakery, she moved onto being a residential concierge and then to T.J. Maxx, where she decided Massage was the next step after thinking about it for a few years. She went to Lincoln Tech thinking she was getting a tour, but she found out it was actually an admissions interview and started classes a month later. 

A teacher suggested getting her foot in the door at a spa or wellness place while in school, so Jenn did just that. Starting at Water House in July 2022 at the front desk, she watched how the practitioners interacted with their clients in the lobby, before and after their massage, acupuncture, or skin care appointment. She learned more in depth about what best counts as aftercare to these sessions and had the ability to ask the practitioners questions, things that as a real world practitioner she would need to know, and not just the structure and techniques the school was teaching her. She used her clinical time to work on various therapists and clients to become more comfortable and confident, to gain invaluable feedback, and received some of the most helpful one-on-one training.

With a focus on relaxation, Jenn enjoys helping others to learn about healthy touch and all the benefits that come with a more holistic approach to wellness. She works best with people who are looking to relax and really get in touch with themselves. 

Outside of the world of Massage Therapy, you’ll find Jenn cuddled up with her two cats and partner watching Below Deck or Ted Lasso. Ask her about her absolute obsession with Sloths (and you might get to peep her tattoo) and she’ll talk your ear off. With a love for the slow mundane things, like excel spreadsheets, standing in the rain, and periodically building things for Water House, she embraces the idea of slowing down and finding the perfection in every moment life has to offer. 

While she doesn’t consider herself as a deep tissue therapist, her boss and coworkers may tell you differently.
