TESTIMONIALS

"J is a delight to work with. She is a warm, creative person and an excellent teacher. As someone who is pre-med, I was excited to learn about neuromuscular conditions and treatment from her. I also enjoyed J's on-site training: She provides trainees with stellar training videos and her friendly care team did a great job teaching me the movements and routines needed for her care. The pay is generous and higher than the pay I have been offered for similar positions. I also found J's home to be a pleasant, peaceful work environment. Working with J was my first time providing at-home, hands-on patient care, and I highly recommend working with her to others. I am happy to talk to any prospective employees and share more about my positive experience working with J."

--Caroline, pre-med student

"J is a very compassionate person to work for. She is patient while you are training, and a joy to be around. It is very demanding but extremely rewarding work. Every aspect of the job gave me a much better understanding of the human body. This unique job opened doors for me to enter into the world of bodywork with a rare perspective of the human body and it's capabilities."

--Caitlin, massage therapist

"Working for J greatly enriched and prepared me to continue my studies in the healthcare industry. If you're looking for a job that gives you a unique experience in physical therapy, a chance to use creative problem solving and allows you to work one on one with a client, this may be the ideal job for you! Working with a dynamic individual like J introduced me to other aspects of rehab and wellness that I hadn't considered before. Her approach to her care is very unique, a great chance to gain more insight into more specific applications of physical therapy!"
