Jenni grew up in Oregon and Washington, knowing since about 6 th grade that she wanted to be a physical therapist. She completed her undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology at Linfield College, where she also played college basketball, in 2009. Jenni graduated from the Regis University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program in 2013 in Denver, CO. After graduate school, she worked in a Rehabilitation Hospital but quickly transition to outpatient rehabilitation and started training for pelvic floor physical therapy. Jenni completed the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Floor series from 2015-2017 and passed the Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification in May 2021. Over the past 8 years, Jenni has enjoyed helping both women and men with issues related to their pelvic floor but also connecting it to their spine, hip, abdominal, and lower extremity issues; helping them return to an active lifestyle. Jenni not only specializes in pelvic health but also oncological diagnoses. Specifically, she focuses on diagnoses related to incontinence, pelvic pain, dyspareunia, vaginismus, interstitial cystitis, post-surgical pelvis and pelvic floor issues, post-oncological treatment pelvic floor issues, pre and post-natal issues, as well as other pelvic floor dysfunctions. As a population that can be overlooked because the symptoms are too sensitive to speak about, Jenni truly believe they deserve the best care possible, and is grateful to be able to be a part of team that focuses on patient centered care. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their two girls taking them to the park, running, doing Barre3, and travelling with her family.
