Jesse’s treatments include soft tissue/massage work, acupuncture, mobilizations, adjustments, applied kinesiology and giving patients rehabilitation exercises to strengthen any deficits that may present.
She understands that every patient is unique and she takes the time to really understand and tailor her treatment to make sure the individual patient can get the best possible outcome based on their own presentation.
In her spare time, Jesse loves to read, go to the beach, FaceTime her Mom & Dad back in Canada, and pet just about every dog possible!
