Biography

                    

Jean graduated from the University of Michigan in Physical Therapy and specialized for many years in orthopedics, neurology, trauma and rehabilitation.  Frustrated by the limits of traditional physical therapy methods, she spent years studying alternative approaches.  She found the use of osteopathic manual therapies to be inherently holistic and effective and this has been the foundation of her practice with animals and people for many years.

 

She has studied extensively with experts in the field including Dr. Ed Stiles, DO, Patricia Kortekaas, PT and Joe Keeney, PT.  In addition, Jean has studied Integrative Manual Therapy, the Biovalent work of Frank Lowen, TTouch and is certified in the BodyTalk System including Animal Talk. 

 

She finds the BodyTalk System to be “brilliant” and is continually in awe of the changes that clients report both about themselves and their animals. 

 

Jean is in private practice in Portland, Oregon and enjoys working with companion animals, performance dogs and people.  She is an assistant teacher at the Osteopathy for Small Animals Courses taught by Patricia Kortekaas in Eugene, Oregon.  She volunteered at the 2007 Iditarod and worked with performance sled dogs in Nome, Alaska. 

 

Jean has two grown sons and lives in Portland, Oregon with her 15 1/2 year old Beagle, Dusty.

 

 

Testimonials:

 

  “Manual therapy and Bodytalk are key reasons my older service dog is still able to be my partner.  Improvements I have noted include pain relief, more freedom of movement and improved digestion.  He sighs, relaxes and lengthens his body during sessions.  I highly recommend this technique.”  -N.W.

 

   “My cat “Bing” used to be so shy that when people came to the house he would hide upstairs under the bed, only coming out long after they had left.  He also kept to himself a lot.  After only one Bodytalk session with Jean, he has become a friendly and more confident cat!!  Now he stays in the room when visitors come.”  -H.H.
