Registered Physiotherapist
Jen joined the Hammonds Plains Physiotherapy team in July 2025. Jen is a dedicated physiotherapist with over 17 years of experience in private practice. She graduated from Acadia University with a Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2004, then went on to complete her Master of Science in Physiotherapy as part of Dalhousie’s very first MSc(PT) class in 2008—where she was also proud to receive the Hazel Lloyd Memorial Prize for clinical and academic excellence. Jen offers a well-rounded and hands-on approach to patient care. She is passionate about delivering patient-centered treatment that is rooted in clinical reasoning, education, and individualized goal setting. Her strong belief in empowering patients has made her a trusted provider in her community. Jen has training in manual therapy, acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, therapeutic laser, and Physio-Pilates. Her clinical interests include post-operative rehabilitation—having collaborated for several years with a local orthopaedic surgeon, including co-developing and presenting on post-operative hip (FAI and labral tears) and shoulder protocols. Outside of the clinic, Jen is a former competitive softball player who represented her teams at national and international events—and she still loves playing the game today; however, most of her time is spent being a full-time mom-cheerleader, chauffeur, and snack supplier for her two sports-obsessed boys—usually found at a rink, a field, or somewhere in between.
