With a previous education in Criminal Justice, Jess had taken a more positive approach to her career, when she expanded her knowledge and love of all things involving exercise, nutrition, health and wellness.

She goes the extra mile to provide optimal individualized treatment plans and cares to serve any and every population. She has great compassion and focus, especially for those facing acute or specific issues.

Jess' wide knowledge of total body health, exercise and kinesiology, preventative care, post injury, pre and post operative rehab and nutrition-aid in the optimal healthy lifestyle-for all those she encounters. Her goal is always to treat the body and individual as a whole.

She has served on several sports med staffs of all levels, some to include our very own Maine Semi Pro teams. Our Maine football, baseball, hockey teams and the Boston Marathon Sports Med groups are some of her favorites. Specializing in deep tissue, preventative injury, muscle recovery work and sports therapies make her perfect for this. An athlete herself, she can relate to her clients that fall into this category.

Jess doesn’t stop there, her work and empathy allows her the privilege of working with those facing an unfortunate medical diagnosis. She is right with them all the way through treatments. She works with the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine regularly and often works with the Dempsey Center. Jess also takes great pride in working with our first responders and our Veterans.

She truly believes and exists in the mindset that; “Prevention is the best medicine”.

Jess is a therapist's therapist, and that quality alone separates her from the rest.
