Health and Embodiment Education by a Physical Therapist, Nutritionist, Integrative Manual Therapist, and certified GYROTONIC® exercise practitioner.
Welcome to the Levity PT and Bodyworks website I'm Jen and I'll be your guide!
Motivated through my own extensive health history and recovery a Resilience Educator.
I graduated from Northeastern University's Physical Therapy program in 1996 and have since have found myself at the benefit of studying with holistic masters.
Initially, after graduation, I focused on neurologic condition rehab, including, brain, and spinal cord injuries, stroke recovery, as well as providing specialized wound care through hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and traumatic orthopedic injuries.
After my own health crisis, in 1999 I pursued an osteopathic program in Integrative Manual Therapy, achieving full certification after six years of in-depth training in: myofascial, visceral, cranial sacral, and somato energetic release. Once certified, I had the privilege of working alongside my teacher and developer of IMT Sharon Weiselfisch Giamatteo in her clinics for over a decade, refining my skills in managing complex cases.
I had the privilege working in an advanced mentorship with Dr. Jerome Weiss, MD, at the Pacific Center for Pelvic Pain in San Francisco for three years, where I supported both men and women experiencing severe pelvic pain and all of the collective trauma recovery that goes with that.
I returned to the East Coast 10 years ago and served as the Clinical Supervisor at a Spaulding Outpatient facility affiliated with Mass General Brigham in Boston, MA. Three years ago, due to logistics in the current health care model, I re established my cash-based out of network practice, Levity PT and Bodyworks, in Natick, MA. This enabled me to prioritize patient care without the constraints of insurance, extensive paperwork and short appointment times.
With the current lack of enough help (schedules are full, many don't have primary care MD's to refer out, and automated healthcare is straining many a nervous systems) I have been focusing my intention on educating and empowering as many people as possible to help their families directly with the beautiful community based care we are all designed to do! Parents, friends, team mates all can be helping each other along the way. All hands on deck!
Forget waiting for appointments and sitting in traffic. You are the person you have been looking for.

You need a degree to treat professionally, but why not learn the powerful, not-so-basics for yourself and your family? If you are not already holding a professional license, maybe these courses will inspire you to pursue a new career!
