Jennifer is a Kitchener native and has been practicing Pedorthics in the KW and surrounding areas since 2007.

Jennifer holds a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Physical Education from Wilfrid Laurier University. In her 3rd year she initiated her steps into the Pedorthic profession through a mentorship with a local Pedorthist. She went on to complete the Diploma in Pedorthics program and graduated with distinction through Western University. In 2007 she completed her National Certification and received her designation of C. Ped (C), Canadian Certified Pedorthist. Jennifer’s clinical approach is to provide and assist with the body’s “foundation” for optimal joint, muscle and supporting soft tissue function. No matter the reason, whether it be injury related, dysfunction and compensations, chronic presentations or neurological complications, Jennifer’s goal is to improve comfort and mobility for each patient. Each pair of custom foot orthotics is specifically designed by Jennifer, and fabricated in house. Patient education plays a vital role in Jennifer’s practice. Feeling confident in understanding the assessment and treatment plan are essential pieces in the overall experience, but also in the success outcomes. Jennifer continues to educate and mentor new Pedorthic students as a supervisor to Pedorthic candidates who are enrolled in the Pedorthic program through Western University. Jennifer served on the Ethics Committee and Continuing Education Committee for the College of Pedorthics of Canada for a number of years before being nominated and elected by her peers to serve on the Board of Directors for The College of Pedorthics of Canada. She did so for 6 years, and during that time gained valuable insight, knowledge and experience in the realm of public protection, business and board organization. In her spare time Jennifer enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, fitness training, cooking and wine pairing.
