“I highly recommend Jena. My 10 month old had delayed crawling and we decided to try PT to help. She really spent quality time evaluating him and noticing things about him.
The experience has been incredible. Nearly immediately he started to make progress. She has helped open the door to so many new activities for him. He also just loves her and was comfortable around her right away. Not only do I recommend Jenna, don’t hesitate to reach out if you see any delays that are concerning, she’s a miracle worker!”

“Dr. Jena is the best PT ever! She has worked diligently with my little preemie who came to her unable to tolerate tummy time or even roll and now he will be an independent sitter any day!
She is incredibly responsive, it’s apparent she lives and breathes Peds PT and sends the best home exercise plans so quickly after our sessions. Looking forward to working with her until my baby is running and jumping!”

“My LO [little one] and I always love the visit. She makes it fun but efficient and productive. We saw Jena for late crawling and my LO was on the move in no time so when she was showing signs of being a late walker, we had no hesitation in booking again to get her on track.”

“We took our 6.6-week-old to Jena for body tension. He had a lip/tongue tie release but we were still seeing tension which was impacting function. We had a long initial eval/first session in which she provided hands-on bodywork and provided us with the education/resources to continue working with our son to release tension at home.
Jena is knowledgeable and very personable. We are excited to continue working with her!”
