Jenn completed her MSc Physiotherapy degree at Leeds Beckett University in England.

In addition, Jenn was exposed to Rebound Therapy while on placement in an Adult Learning Disability service. Following these experiences, Jenn recognized that Rebound Therapy can benefit individuals of all ages and abilities. She was inspired to pursue official training in Rebound Therapy and completed her Rebound Therapy Practitioner qualification through Rebound Therapy International Ltd.
Upon returning to Canada, Jenn founded TheraBounce, an organization which offers Rebound Therapy to children and adults with exceptionalities. TheraBounce also delivers Rebound Therapy Practitioner courses in association with Rebound Therapy International Ltd.
